It's really bizarre that his most hilariously outdated video (Doom Eternal) outperformed all the others. Especially given how hot Modern Warfare 2 and (presumably? there's a lot of autists out there) Sonic Frontiers are at the moment.
With the speed he has at releasing anything that's relevant I figure we'll see a video about all the tranny pandering in WoW: Dragonflight in about 2 months and about how it's the best thing ever even though he has never to my knowledge ever played the game.
That surprised me too. I'm guessing it's because the main demographic of Modern Warfare aren't the kind of people who watch fat troons whinge on YouTube, and the Sonic video is more about Yuji Naka than his Frontiers controversy (judging by the title; I stopped skimming his videos months ago).
Perhaps, but this was different from his previous issues. The Digital Homicide, Various indies devs, even the Breath Of The Wild DDOS attack all had Jimbo strictly doing nothing wrong beyond having the wrong opinion and being a dick, neither of which should constitute what happened to him in those situations. But with Sonic Frontiers, while his attack towards the devs is hardly the worst thing ever, there's no disputing it was wrong. He built his new brand off of how companies can't respect the little man, and he disrespects the little man for not doing a good job while demeaning others for doing so. Even those who normally sided with him called him out. Jim was never going to cover it because it requires him to actually take a risk when he knows no one is in his corner. He literally needed actually famous people to give him his milk and bottle in the Sub-900-Subs special. It's one of the less obvious traits of his, but him talking shit online until someone sticks his nose in it has been true since at least 2013.
Not sure what ADD has to do with it. Usually that enables people to hyperfocus on stuff like video games due to the constant finger movement via the controller or other input. I have adhd and I get through souls games fine Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 are two of my favorite games of the last 10 years tbf. It's things i don't find interesting that I lose interest in fairly quickly and get distracted/forget. I would be a shit accountant most definitely.
This brings up a good point and it reminds me how silly in retrospect Jim's crusade against low quality steam games seems now. Yeah the asset flip stuff was embarrassingly bad for the developers making them, but who really cares, it was mostly stuff coming out from ramshackle teams and often single people with little experience in actually making games, being sold for dirt cheap prices with at best a few hundred people buying that kind of crap. It would be one thing if Jim was just laughing at their incompetence, but such mockery would be hard to justify on pure schadenfreude grounds so Jimbo always pretended that this was some great moral outrage that Steam was being polluted by these games and he was valiantly bringing this injustice to light.
To be honest I fully agree with him pushing against low quality steam games and I hate that the dam broke, so to speak. It led to a total oversaturation in new releases that is impossible to stay on top of, and it just doesn't reflect well on a storefront when stock so many steaming turds. I've mentioned it before but the PlayStation Store has sccumbed to the same fate and it's an absolute chore wading through new releases to find the actual games in between The Jumping Taco Turbo and John Fart. Although it doesn't help that the storefront barely functions.
Nah, it's always been stupid. It's not like you were planning on playing every single game on Steam anyway, so why do you care if the new releases are more likely to be crap? All Steam did was make it easier for indie devs to get their half-decent experimental game to the 5 people who care about it, and everyone else didn't even notice. Unless they were perpetually miserable retards like Jim who go looking for something to complain about, that is.
I'd actually say there was a big issue with Steam's low quality releases. I made it back on my old account here, but here's the short version:

Gloria said it well so I won't go on about it.
It was just a joke about people not paying attention to the game, no need to get all puzzle pieces about it.
I agree, I'm not suggesting the engagement he'd have got would have been positive, but I think a lot more people would have watched the video and left a comment calling him a dumbass than they would for a JQ about a complete has-been's insider trading scandal.
I would assume it has a lot to do with people wanting to find out what "The Doom Eternal Controversy" is and watching long enough for it to count.
? It's not like I wrote a Harry Potter novel in my response to you. I'm out though, Sterling isn't someone I find all that funny, just odd, and I have enough Videogame sludge on my plate laughing at Razorfist.
Jim's put himself in an impossible position because there is no one to fill the void left by everyone fleeing his channel. The market for Jim's particular brand of content has shrank considerably any way, but even if it hadn't zoomer troons are all on Tik Tok watching freaks like Erin Reed and Keffals, and YouTube troons like Contra and PhilosophyTube look much, much better (RELATIVELY SPEAKING) and have production values and content light years ahead of Jim; not to mention they committed to the bit instead of pulling that enby shit Jim did to justify keeping the brand recognition of his flagship show while still demanding he be called Steph.
I think the general consensus of the thread is he used to be playing a character but it's not an act any more.
Not even Jim provides his brand of content anymore!
