Media Stigma

 

Anyone else notice the gaming media is beginning to sing a different tune?

 

I remember you couldn’t go on N4G… ever without a “How the Wii is doomed” article listed, has the attention to such articles dissolved to the point where they aren’t major click receivers?

 

But I would be lying if I said it went away… a forum user here actually burst out in frustration from the FUD for Xbox360 on this site and demanded Big Brother enforce his point of view, recently I went onto the general news section of N4G and saw 1120 degrees on an article named: “Xbox360 glory days are over.” I suffered myself to read the thing and found the format for this writing to be eerily similar to most other FUD articles.

 

The sad thing is these articles stigmatize people. Since people relate to right and wrongs fairly well I’ll attempt to point some of them out.

 

Wrong: Referring the quality of your game(s) in contrast to how well it sold.

Right: Referring the quality of your game by how much you enjoyed it.

 

Wrong: Hating another system because it supports an exclusive you liked.

Right: Ignore what you apparently can’t have; in this case ignorance is bliss. There were always games that you didn’t own that are quality – that you would of loved, but your probably ignorant to them.

 

Those are simple points I appreciate, gaming has become weird… or gamers.

 

Articles like the one quoted about Xbox360 are very much the black pussing rotting germ infested maggot hive of gaming. But people love reading them... what is value?
