Jim Sterling / James "Stephanie" Sterling / James Stanton/Sexton & in memoriam TotalBiscuit (John Bain) - One Gaming Lolcow Thread

Looks like it's over. the troon declares victory: https://www.patreon.com/posts/48952904
It's far from over. It's the most interesting and relevant thing to happen to him in years, he'll keep milking it until it's dry. I think he'll try to poke that Gilson guy hoping for some kind of escalation - first shots will be fired this Monday. And I must admit, I hope Gilson will take the bait and we'll be blessed with some fun drama :)
 
Here's a nothingburger. I was looking up Breath of the Wild on Wikipedia, and saw:

"Jim Sterling was more critical than most, giving Breath of the Wild a 7/10 score. They criticized the difficulty, weapon durability, and level design, but praised the open world and variety of content."

Thank you to the nameless Wikipedian who updated his pronouns, and will have to change it again when he calls himself Jill or whatever.
 
Has Jim Sterling ever actually spelled out an actual plan in how Communism, Socialism, or Syndicalism will work in creating video games and keep up quality, demand, and/or the quality of life for those who make them?
He just wants game developers to work less and get paid more and he wants games to cost less with no microtransactions.

Edit: I probably should have mentioned that he never has a solution or proposal on how to achieve any of these things, but he's made a career on padding out a 20 minute video every week complaining about how we don't have these things.

Well how does he plan for the first two to happen when everyone that is 40 and under wants to work in that field being highly competitive? The last one is fair enough
I mean you expect him to make it work? He just wants it and basta, he doesn't give a damn for details. In his eyes, all devs are these latter drinking-neon-haired colored hipsters- who need to make games about progressive stuff while tweeting about MAGA Nazis and Drumpf.
 
I mean the latter is something I can agree on. There are things Jim has a point on, but ultimately the guy is such an egotistical erratic glutton that...
It's funny how much he and Randy Pitchford have in common.
I wonder if him and Pitchford have CP in common as well. I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

It’s such a generic, pandering and ultimately naive request though, you could say you also wanted everything to be higher quality and cheaper while all workers should have an easier work schedule with higher pay (And no crunch/holiday rush allowed no matter what!).

I meant the latter as in the microtransaction bullshit. Regarding pay...well this is the game industry and crunch and all of that has always been part of it. When you want to get into videogame development, you know full well of the consequences of what it's like.

The people who respect platitudes like that are not the same kind of people who think about how to, or actually do make things better.

They just make broad proclamations and leave it up to the proles to make it happen, while they kick back drinking champagne to celebrate for their part in making the world a better place.

When I used to watch his shit I left comments numerous times asking in good faith what alternative he would propose to replace capitalism.

I never once got a reply from him or any of his dick-riders; in fact I've never managed to get an actionable reply from any of the commie LARPers I've put the question to.

There's a reason the communist solution to capitalism is "Give someone else all the industry". They have fuck and all in the way of solutions, they just want to give it to someone else and it becomes their problem to solve it for everyone else.

Its just the dumbfuck attitude of not being responsible for yourself, everything is everyone else's problem and doing. Except applied at an economical level.

That's why I find it weird Jim rags on Capitalism so much, given his success and massive paycheck is owed entirely to Capitalism.

Most of the time Commies are white/Asian suburban trust fund kids, so it's easy for them to fuel their delusions because they've never worked for anything in their life. They have zero concept of actually earning something so of course things like individual property rights have no meaning to them; what's the difference between mom and dad giving you everything or the government?

Jim's different though: for all his other faults he grew up fairly poor (from what I understand) yet built a really strong brand and product through nothing but his own hard work. He is the fucking definition of a Capitalist success story, and I don't think he's dumb enough to not realise that, but it seems at some point the performative wokeness became sincere; possibly owing to the fact he is legit fucked in the head.

Lie to yourself long enough and you'll eventually believe it. Jim is so far removed from his roots and sunk so deep into his bubble he might as well be on another planet, so it's not hard to see how he's deluded himself into ignoring his entire career path.
