Best Foot Forward
Cordova, TN; September 12, in the year of our Lord
2016--Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in
covering the family friendly video games is discussing the topic
of putting your best foot forward. As long time readers and
viewers know we spend a lot of time researching each of the
topic we write about, do videos on, and more. We are certainly
far from perfect. Mistakes creep in here and there. We always
strive to put our best foot forward. We believe that begins with
honesty. I spent quite a few hours contemplating, meditating,
praying, and soul searching to determine why something bothered
me so badly. Why did I take it so personally? What am I even
talking about? I am talking about too many of the video game
companies swapping over to the digital download versus providing
physical copies of video games for review.
I care about consumer rights. I care about Internet Service
Providers punishing families for downloading files that are too
large. I care about the art work. I care about discs and
cartridges. I realized there was something deeper going on.
There was something bothering me on a subconscious level. I have
been digging within my psyche to find that core issue. I am
writing this article because I have finally found the answer.
After all of this exhaustive effort it has come to me. The video
game companies and their PR firms are not putting their best
foot forward. By giving gaming media outlets the disposable
digital downloadable copies they are not doing their best. They
are barely trying by providing a code. They are not making much
of an effort. They give us no value, and expect us to return
massive value.
No wonder so many gaming media sites are in such disarray. The
PR firms, and the companies themselves do not actually care. Why
should the gaming reviewers? Too many gaming companies and PR
firms treat the gaming media like their slaves. No wonder there
has been so much rebellion. I also suspect this is a
contributing factor to the decline in quality. Disposable
digital downloadable video games are like Kleenex. Use them once
and then throw them away. Play them, and delete them. No real
emotional connection to the game or the franchise. It was an
interesting flash in the pan for a few days, and then gone.
Never to be seen, played, or thought of again. Someone within
these gaming companies needs to start caring again. Or the
entire industry will move from decline to free falling.
God bless,
