🎓 Gaming Academy — Class #91 | Beyond the Hype: Who Picks Your Games?

A trailer catches your attention. A reviewer gives it a perfect score. Your friends won’t stop talking about it. The algorithm puts it in front of you again—and suddenly, you’re buying a game you had never planned to play. But who really made that choice? Tonight in Gamer Quotient | Gaming Academy Class 91, we’re going beyond the hype to examine the forces influencing what we play, purchase, and prioritize. Algorithms, advertising, review scores, influencers, online communities, and fear of missing out can all help us discover great games. They can also pull us toward experiences that don’t fit our tastes, time, or budget. Tonight’s Class includes: 🪙 INSERT COIN A firsthand review asks: Did the game match the promise that sold it? 🕹️ THIS WEEK IN GAMING HISTORY Academy Historian and Dean of Students Oliver “OBC” Campbell introduces a new way to revisit the games, people, and events that shaped the industry. 🎮 PLAYING WITH INTENTION How do we separate useful recommendations from pressure, noise, and manufactured urgency? 🚪 THE BOSS ROOM Can you trust a reviewer whose taste is different from yours? 👾 THE FINAL BOSS: OWN YOUR CHOICE Other people can recommend the game—but only you can decide whether it deserves your time. 🎓 GAMER QUOTIENT | GAMING ACADEMY 📅 Tonight—Tuesday, October 13 ⏰ 8 PM PST WATCH LIVE Twitch:   / gqazndood   YouTube:    / gqazndood   Facebook Gaming:   / gqazngaming   ALL GAMER QUOTIENT LINKS https://beacons.ai/gamingacademy What was the last game you bought because of the hype—and did it deliver?
