I had a ton of requests to cover this one. While not strictly videogame related, the situation with Wizards of the Coast and Dungeons & Dragons is a perfect example of everything this show talks about. So let’s talk about how Wizards and Hasbro tried to become some D&D landlords….
Yes, we have to talk about Square Enix again. They shut down ANOTHER game after just 13 months, and their scummy president has doubled down on NFT and crypto horribleness. Also, I have a Godzilla pinball table. #SquareEnix #BravelyDefault #NFTs #Crypto #Scams #Microtransactions #JimSterling #JamesStephanieSterling #Jimquisition #Games #Videogames #Gaming
I’d like to report a murder. Or maybe it’s a mercy killing. Either way, when it comes to Square Enix and so-called “live services,” there’s a lot of death going around. God, Square Enix sucks. #SquareEnix #FinalFantasy #ChocoboGP #BabylonsFall #FinalFantasyVII #JimSterling #Jimquisition #StephanieSterling #CommanderSterling #Games #Game #Gaming #Videogames
It’s the final episode of 2022, and you know what that means. Time to look at the worst, the pits, the dregs, the sh*ttiest games of the year! From Babylon’s Fall to Gotham Knights to Diablo Immortal, we go in deep and come out hard. Let’s get sh*tty!
It’s that time again! Time for The Jimquisition Awards, where we pick five games that exemplify something good about an industry we spent most of the year dumping all over. We’re doing proper ones this year, too. The main question is this… will I dare to put Vampire Survivors on…
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…
