Really liking Jim's new approach covering multiple topics. I presume if a big topic comes up they'll make the whole episode about it but happy so far.

I'm constantly amazed by the random stock footage videos Jim uses in the videos lol
Like the guy getting angry over a laptop not working while he's in a bath full of petals?
3 women dancing with an inflatable cat face?
So funny and weird lol
Also Seedy PR is so getting some use in future

It really did surprise me about the news and reaction to the Star Wars Ubisoft news and agree it's disappointing Ubisoft's abuse did kind of been forgotten.
I'll echo what everbody here is saying, it's just sad how fast Ubisoft got away with their shit.
It was pretty much given that the moment a new Assassins Creed/Watch Dogs were released all would be forgiven. Same will happen when they patch/offer free dlc for Cyberpunk and the next Witcher is released. Some people simply don't give a damn.
Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be a 30 minute video devoted to our favorite demonspawn, Bobby Kotick.
Did Jim change their name? Or change it back to their birth name?
James Stephanie Sterling is their tentative new name. But their official name is still Jim Sterling.
Ah, thanks. I went looking on Twitter for info but couldn't find anything.

On today's Jimquisition, we talk about the politics of in-game vaccine delivery, we say goodbye to the former FCC head, and then there's Activision.
Thank god for Sterling, still trying to get use to their new name so I'll stick with the last name for now.
I wish someone would ask me if I needed help with my groceries. :(
What a dumb response from the studio though. Fuck antivaxxers.

Wait did they say that that's no longer their name? Their YouTube channel still says Jim, but I don't know how easy that is to change so it may just be a holdover.
Never mind: Just saw the end of the video, I see. Good for them!
Wow, good on Jim. They deserve all the happiness in the world, sending out all my NB feel-good vibes.
It's really not apolitical when your "no position" is no different that when being omissive causes big social impacts. And the fact it also strengthens the anti-reality clowns.
Fuck these "sitting on the fence" cowards.

Patenting Game Mechanics: A Worse Idea Than Stadia (The Jimquisition)

And we know the same WB, who uses other games mechanics, would cry a river in court if they were sued for violating a similar patent. Something, something, something about "stifling creativity" and not being fair to "the little guy" and "when we do it, it, it's different".

That bit about the Pokemon cards and how adults buy in mass to resell stuff for kids is something I've seen way too many times in my experience.
I'm a Transformers fans and scalping there is just insane for most toys to the point I just gave up buying Transformers of the characters I like because it was pointless get them, like I could get original G1 toys in pretty condition for cheaper then some of prices I was seeing for Titan's Return or Power of the Primes. I can't imagine how much it sucks worse for parents or kids wanting an Optimus Prime.
I've seen the same with Marvel toys, MLP, DC Super Hero Girls, Hotwheels, Star Wars etc etc etc. It's why it bothers me when people smuggly say, "Kids should play with physical toys more often to help with their imagination instead of just video games!". Besides other things, HOW WHEN SCALPERS TOOK THEM ALL!!!???
Also for f*** toy companies, make more affordable toys for kids, not every Transformer needs to cost over £10.

Woah, haven't seen Jim in a while and they have a wig I believe?
The color suits them very well, regardless.

The scalper defense of "We are a middle man, just like Tesco. We are just offering a service" got a good laugh out of me. The fuckers know full well what they are doing.
I didn't realize how bad this shit has gotten when they're basically starting to do this with any and everything with perceived value or demand. Buying physical shit is going to get monstrously hard if not outright impossible if the practice isn't outlawed and retailers step their shit up. It would have happened with shit like alcohol, toiliet paper and sanitizer had the feds not stepped in because people ABSOLUTELY were going to try.
It's 100% the truth. But it's an indictment of capitalism, not a defense of the scalpers.
Oh yeah, "blame capitalism" as if that's the only culprit here. We can't hold scalpers responsible and we can't hold the buyers responsible... so who's accountable for capitalism? Is there someone you can contact for complaints?
"You can't complain because it's not illegal and it's inherently part of the economic system" is such a non-argument that leads literally nowhere. I mean it's legal until we decide it isn't. It can be deemed as a part of the conventional economical structure until it isn't, either because it's illegal or simply because it isn't beneficial for the economy as a whole. It's completely arbitrary at the end of the day.

Fuck scalpers.
I had no idea about the Pokemon cards but I'm not surprised. I feel awful for the kids that want them but can't get them bc of selfish slime balls.
