Gaming Edu: Whats The Problem?

by Rinie. Tuesday 22/7/08




The only thing that holding us back is our mentality.
What stop us right now is not the lack of coverage, not lack of money, not lack of support and anything lack that you can think off.
The only thing that stop us from growing is yourself. We are just too selfish and spoil wanting others to do what we all are responsible to do.

Gamers: Too immature to understand their responsibility in the gaming community. Only think to be the best at their games but are ignorant to the problems in the community. Often don't care.

Organizers: Too ego to listen and often neglecting gamers the core value of the tournament. Less effort to bring the gamers forward.

Medias: Not much exposure given to gamers. No exposure so gamers remain unknown to the public. For them it is more interesting to talk about an object rather than a subject.

Sponsors: Looking into short term investment rather than long term. Its all bout the money rather than invest to nurture the community. Which the return of investment will be greater in the future.

In order for the community to grow, all of this 4 core basic must work together and realize their responsibility in the gaming community. If depends on 1 side it will never work in a million years.
Take big gaming countries for example. All of this 4 basic work together pretty well. Harmonious relationship between all side will encourage the development of the gaming community.

The funny thing is, it is not the gaming community only facing this problem but our very own local entertainment industries is facing the same problem as well. Local popular singers/bands couldn't even do their own concert and sponsors are more in favor of overseas artists. They want short cut and fast money and feel investing for the long term is a waste of time and money.


So the problem is not just our community, but the culture of the entire country.
Until then we will always be at the same place even when we all get married and have family in the future.
So everyone start realize your responsibility. Spread the words out. Kick out "Tak Apa" attitude and think about the future.
Be visionary. Be responsible. Be the revolution.


Just like a tag line in Melodi:
"Kurangkan Kontroversi, Tingkatkan Prestasi" (Less Controversies, More Development)
