Video Game Disconnect - Patience
Cordova, TN; June 26, in the year of our Lord 2017--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is continuing our new series under the
umbrella Video Game Disconnect. These are articles on areas of
double standards and disconnections within the video game
industry. This article is on the topic of patience. How many
video game companies ask you to be patient to purchase their
products? How many video game media outlets ask you to wait to
purchase a game? How many times do you hear someone say they
cannot wait for a game to get released? How many times have you
heard someone say they cannot wait to play a certain game? What
is missing from the premises behind each of those? I would say
patience. Why are we gamers so impatient?
The easy answer is video games have taught us to be impatient.
Like mindless drones, or lemmings too many of us gamers have
gone along with that lesson. I believe it is a bit more
complicated than that though. I believe the current society and
technology in America is more to blame. We have drive through
food, media, pharmacies, and more. Turn on a television and
watch what you want to when you want to thanks to technology.
Use DVDs and Blu-rays to watch what you want when you want as
well. You can go to a plethora of places to eat what you want
when you want. Or you can buy something and bring it home to
cook it. Less time is required to make things thanks to
microwaves. The Internet allows us to read and watch what we
want at the click of a few keys or mouse buttons.
Why don’t we hear more about patience from the gaming media
outlets? Should we go back to the simple business lessons? After
all many of the gaming media outlets focus on keeping
advertisers happy. Advertisers are spending money and want a
return on that. They want to receive more sales thanks to their
advertisements. So they want reviews to say: “Go buy this right
now!” There is also a huge lack of diversity in the gaming
industry in terms of thought and perspective. That was covered
in the Conservative video game disconnect article. It all
connects when you look at it from a holistic approach. At least
Family Friendly Gaming has told all ya’ll to be patient for over
a decade.
We encourage you to think for yourself here at Family Friendly
Gaming. Do not go with the herd because others are. Peer
pressure is the worst reason to do anything. Do what is right.
Do what makes the most sense. Use your own common sense. Include
God in your decisions. Be patient to purchase games. Be patient
to purchase systems. You will get more for your money, and you
will be exercising patience. You can give Family Friendly Gaming
your opinion on this. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this
disconnect? Do you want a better video game industry going
forward? What say you?
God bless,
