As a journalist who has worked with #gaming and #eSports as a subject (though not exclusively), I want to recommend to other journalists one thing: when talking about the gamer public/majority opinion, e.g. "gamers were upset about x", give examples of threads that support that.
If you're going to tell people that an opinion is widely accepted or something is believed by "a majority of gamers" you must give a timeline of that belief. Show different sources, different voices, different public figures who hold that belief. Show people believing it!
You can't just assume an opinion is de facto accepted, and that acceptance is widely known. If you want to say something like "the majority of the x gamer community feels y" you either SHOW that belief or you admit you're peddling stereotypes, lies, and exaggeration.
