I do agree with Jim here it's all pretty ridiculous. But for me all those versions of the same game make me avoid buying any of them cause it just seems like I'd be getting screwed over no matter what I choose.
Who dis goofy gumball
Huh, never thought this would be the video to get dumbs. Are people just really allergic to Sterling, or really loving 5 different preoder editions?
Yeah, since Jimquisition is a weekly show, sometimes he pulls topics out of his ass, like the KH one, but this one talks about a real problem.
because its cool to not like what others like
I feel like I'm in groundhog day, we have this discussion every 5 and a half minutes and most of the time it's Jim starting it. We never, ever ever even come close to actually discussing the causes or the solutions, just continually angrily overdiagnosing the problem. This video isn't adding anything meaningful to the discussion, it's just splurging the same tired talking points over and over again and even worse it's a pretty bad explaining the situation. Nor is it presented well, at all. If I'm being honest, this video is lazy, and laziness is the norm for Jim. Compared to industry professionals and reputable journalists like Jason Schreier (Blood, Sweat and Pixels) this guy comes off as just another ranting loony on the GameFAQ forums, just with an unreasonably large platform. Call me "allergic to Jim Sterling" or that I don't like him because I think "it's cool to not like what others like", but I really don't like his stuff. He's a lazy and bitter man who has made a career out of aggressively missing forests for trees.
this is really an effortless video about an well known issue that adds nothing to the discussion just for clicks. Just like 90% of the other Jimquisition video where he just shit on a topic without doing any kind of research and just parrots what other people are saying while doing it in a toxic persona. 5+ pre order editions for games are bad, and so is this guy's video.
Funny, considering how you people come in every fucking thread to effortlessly post about how you don't like Jim Sterling.
The only thing more repetitive than the Jimquisition is the same people coming into every thread to post the exact same thing as to why they don't like Sterling.
Its the industry that keeps repeating the bullshit, but yes Jim is bad because he speaks about it with that negative persona
I've seen people get confused by this chart and I still have no idea how anyone could possibly find it confusing to understand, it's fairly straight forward if you actually read it.
ngl this adds another into the "piracy is a service problem" you just get everything, no fuss.
and every fucking thread that gets rated dumb got people asking why, and I am just explaining my reasoning I know the point is not meant to be in-depth. It doesn't makes it any less dumb.
You could just...not click the thread?
