Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is a bad game with terrible performance and a litany of broken bugs. That’s not stopped it from selling 10 million copies in three days and enjoying massive amounts of praise. Yet when Cyberpunk 2077 had an identically rocky launch, the story was very different… #Pokemon…
The terrible topic of easy modes in Dark Souls rears its vile head once more. It’s not my fault, though! I’ve learned that the topic is so touchy, you can’t even joke about it. Not without some ludicrous consequences. #DarkSouls #Twitter #Controversy #Harassment #FromSoftware #Jimquisition #JimSterling #JamesStephanieSterling #Games #Gaming #Videogames…
Yuji Naka, co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, got arrested for insider trading at Square Enix. Oh what a wicked web! Let’s use it as an excuse to dump on some corpo scum! #SquareEnix #InsiderTrading #SonicTheHedgehog #DragonQuest #Videogames #JimSterling #JamesStephanieSterling #Videogames #Games #Gaming
So much for what I wanted to talk about. Gotta talk about more scumbags in the videogame workplace. This time, a story about Doom Eternal, a stressed composer, and a bitter feud with an executive producer. #Doom #DoomEternal #Controversy #MikeGordon #FPS #Music #Allegations #JimSterling #JamesStephanieSterling
When journalist Laura Kate Dale got offered a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, she received some extra fun – the chance to consensually plagiarize articles written by the game’s marketing team! Huh! Let’s talk about THAT unethical nonsense, shall we? #CallofDuty #ModernWarfare #Activision #Xbox #PS5 #FPS #Controversy…
Hellena Taylor’s story simply will not end, as she’s gone from hero to villain so quickly we’ve barely had time to breathe. In what SHOULD be the last video on the Bayonetta 3 saga, let’s see how Taylor definitively tanked all her sympathy. Spoiler: being an anti-abortion TERF didn’t help…
Oh what an amazing disaster. Platinum Games has hit back at accusations from Bayonetta’s former voice actor… unofficially, anyway. The whole thing is now an impeccable drama, and while everybody loves drama, the sad fact is that very real issues concerning voice acting will now be totally buried. #Bayonetta #Bayonetta3…
Bayonetta 3 is at the center of a controversy that exploded over the weekend, with voice actor Hellena Taylor revealing why she won’t return to perform the iconic character. So then, let’s talk about voice actors and compensation. A topic that is just as infuriating now as it was fourteen…
Overwatch 2 is a free-to-play monstrosity, and it’s hardly surprising. The years between the original Overwatch and its sequel saw Blizzard go from gaming darling to one of its most loathed villans. If only someone saw that coming. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Blizzard #Activision #FreeToPlay #Microtransactions #JimSterling #Jimquisition #JamesStephanieSterling #Games #Gaming #Videogames
Google Stadia is finally dead. I mean, it’s been dead from the start, but Google finally did what Google does best, and put a bullet in the brain of another terminal failure. LOL! #GoogleStadia #Google #Streaming #Games #Gaming #Videogames #JamesStephanieSterling #JimSterling #Jimquisition #PC #Failure
Dunkey announced his own game publishing company, Bigmode, and the response was… not universally calm. So let’s talk about that. And Vampire Survivors. And baffling outrage. #Dunkey #Bigmode #VampireSurvivors #Publishing #Controversy #Games #Jimquisition #JimSterling #JamesStephanieSterling #Videogames #Gaming
Grand Theft Auto 6 won’t be out for quite some time, but the takes are already exhausting. A recent leak showing off loads of early footage has certainly demonstrated that things are gonna get real bad. #GrandTheftAuto #GTA6 #GTA #Rockstar #Leaks #JimSterling #Jimquisition #JamesStephanieSterling #Games #Gaming #Videogames #Controversy
