Just a friendly reminder that Monday is coming, and since it's the last Monday of the year, it's the 10 Worst Games Of The Year Jimquistion, probably with Skelletor still announcing. Until then, I know what I'm gonna train myself in preparation: I really do wonder if Fallout will be on there cause as he said in his last Fallout f***ed up AGAIN video... that came out... in 2018. It was just that it was such a f***ing dumpster fire that it kept us warm all year. If he qualifies it for 2019 due to that I think it's got 1 locked up... otherwise probably Anthem.

I would argue that it being a "live service" and with plenty of releases and controversy within the year still qualifies it. After all, it's not the "Worst games launched in 2019" list, as a pissant technicality as it may be.

Of course, WWE 2K20 not working in 2K20 is the first Jim Sterling content we get in this new decade.

I was kinda disappointed that 2K20 dodged a bullet in the Shit Games Of 2019 recap, so that they shot themselves in the dick once again and gave Jim another reason to make a new video gives my black heart great joy.

Just watched the latest one on the Five Nights at Freddy's guy and.... I dunno. I feel bad for how they've lost a lot of subscribers since coming out, and that is clearly the reason why despite whatever spin people want to use, but I've largely kind of fallen off the train myself (though that happened before they came out really). Sort of feel weird in that I hate not supporting them while they've lost a bunch of other support due to people being bigots, but it feels like there's not really any kind of mocking fun in anything I see from them anymore, the videos are just bitter. Which I can certainly sympathize with but it's kind of smothering to watch.

Which I can certainly sympathize with but it's kind of smothering to watch. That was also the first video I watched in months, and I'm in the same camp. Like, I feel bad for losing interest as I feel like it's going to be viewed as I am some kind of unsupportive dickhead, but... you just get tired of the negativity, which to be fair, was something they addressed in the past as the only real way their content can be productive on YouTube. And it doesn't help that nothing has changed in the industry, and probably never will as long as people defend unfair practices and terrible people if it means getting their video game entertainment, so it feels like an unwinnable battle, further making the videos feel bitter.

I used to watch a lot Jimquisition years ago. Caught almost every video they made at points, it opened my eyes to a lot of the problems with the industry at large and to be more aware of it, which I’m thankful that it did. Nonetheless, I cut it out completely because after a point every video felt the same and the overall bitter tone got to me. It just wasn’t fun to watch anymore.

I just can't stand the way they endlessly bemoan the state of things while rarely if ever suggesting any solutions.
Like if it upsets you that much, by all means holler it loud and clear to get awareness to it, but at the same time it would be nice to hear an actual solution to the problem you're making us aware of for the hundredth time.

I think their videos are reactive to the very cynical feel of the industry and gamer culture. Jimquisitions were a lot like John Oliver's shows where it was a good mix of telling you about bullshit while also having a good sense of humor. Now it's just the former with the humor replaced with (justified) bitterness.
I miss when they'd play really crappy games you could find on Steam or whatever. I guess the incident with that hack Gilson B Pontes made them less likely to do that, sadly.

Which I can certainly sympathize with but it's kind of smothering to watch. I decided to watch the video before commenting and I do agree with most of it and sympathize with them a great deal but smothering misery was pretty much how I felt about their channel years ago. Pretty sure their escapist ad was literally just a picture of them with "Get Angry" in bold font. Sure, in this case and others it's 100% necessary to bring the misery and anger to certain topics but looking down the list of videos they've made since I've stopped watching, I haven't missed anything. Loot boxes are bad, all of the major companies suck, and here's some 80s cartoons spliced between every video. It's like Zero Punctuation if you vacuum out all the humor and somehow turn the cynicism up even further.

I'm not obligated to watch a channel that no longer entertains me, and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people feel that way, and we don't like being written off as bigots just because they threw on a wig.

Okay?
What solutions can they possibly offer? The game industry is exploitative and abusive of its employees and its customers. There's no actual solutions to offer besides unionization, government intervention, or the collapse of capitalism.

I mean, I'd still absolutely put the max exodus of subscribers down to bigotry, because the timing exactly correlates to when they came out. And "just because they threw on a wig" is a very yikesy way to put that.
