Sometimes, independent developers ask my advice on certain practices. I can only say what I like, but I'll say that for free.
Here are the clearest cut ways to avoid being a wanker in the freemium market, as one dev was curious to know. I think this happens to be quite a fine episode.
Speaking of wankers though, we also gotta talk about Randy.

To be fair, if Randy Pitchford says Jim Sterling's name then his protective enchantments will be broken and Jim Sterling will know where he is.
W Jesh Pitchford's a wizard now?
W Jesh the he who must not be named of game criticism lol
Kenneth Ayoob I think he prefers “magician”, but that may be a cover.
@@KentaroMiyamoto21 Jim too; it's secretly what their rivalry is based on, but they have to pretend it's about video games so the public doesn't catch on
"he's got a british accent"
"he's always mad"
Oh, Yahtzee I knew you had a hard on for jiraffes but this guy?
I hear he wears hats indoors too, or at least the stick avatar of him does.
Thought he was into Dolphin blowholes nowadays
Come on, don't be so harsh on Randy. He just screwed over millions of paying customers and shamelessly hid behind complete lies and the appeal of a popular IP while stealing money from the game's budget to make Borderlands. We've all been there.
Not to mention he made a really cool video so all the potential players could see early on what the game would have looked like, if it hadn't been much worse! =D
Don't forget that he even stole the premise for Borderlands in the first place. Codehunters. (Whoops on the name)
Seriously. Who HASNT done that exact thing at least once before?
Glass houses man.glass houses.
At least Borderlands was a good game :^)
@@Grinnar The correct name is 'Codehunters' (And it's worth the watch, even at least for it's style).
Man just coming back to this now...it's prophetic
Pitchford. If you're reading this. Do it. Fire back. I dare you. I DARE you. I wanna see this.
Brawlatron he is most certainly not
You challenge the king you get the backhand and dishonor
Randy: Alright. Let's do this! What was his name again?
You're assuming that he has the spine to do so.
Who are you again?
Jim's gonna get a lot of mileage out of that orc rubbing his hands together, isn't he?
DialTheDude and we'll love every second of it!
He looks like a stereotypical Jew.
It's amazingly fitting. lol
And thus Greed Orc has joined jumbo shrimp and Bruhbarian in the vestiges of Jim Sterling's meme faces.
Take a bow.
DialTheDude yes he is friend...yes he is, because that's now how I envision the AAA executives now
Every single Jim Sterling video ever made will always have more views than there ever were Battle Born players.
thats not the games fault, that was no advertising, and overwatch that killed that game
It had more advertising than most games get, it just wasn’t a very well designed game which looked suspiciously like a ripoff of a better game which came out at the same time.
It wasn’t the lack of advertising, it was the fact that they were releasing at the same time as Overwatch.
Didn’t help that the two games had a similar art style while Overwatch had the edge of being a new IP from a big company known for making good games.
Battle Born was actually a decent game.
So if I have Battleborn AND watch Jim Sterling, what percentile do i fall into?
Who was that guy who pretended he forgot Jim's name again? Agh, it's on the tip of my tongue. Hmm, I dunno, uhh, was he working on that game Extraterrestrials: local soldiers?
Sht it's that guy, uhh i think he was Dr. Phil's cousin, ehhhh i think it's like Randolf Reykavvik
yeah it’s reckyivic
i seriously don't know who he is, not a joke, who is him? (edit) : O MY FUCKING GOD I KNOW WHO THAT ASSHAT IS, I DIDN'T KNOW HIS FACE
*One year later, Matt Damon?
Pretty sure it was like Rudolf Pitchfork or something
"Two-bit Mysterio" is the best way to describe these wankers who think they can play psychological games but end up acting like middle schoolers :D
At least actual mysterio is funny... And he tricked Wolverine into killing his friends. Randy "Colonial Marines was awesome" Shitbird couldn't even be bothered to hide his greasy hair under a reflective dome.
Wouldn't that be W2P?
*Wank to Play*
Darkness Prevails lol
Finally a game I can play one handed
Pay to Wank - Chaturbate.
it could be Fap to Play
Literally every Sakura game
Randy called me a child rapist for criticizing his business ethics.
Honestly he’s probably just projecting. I wouldn’t put it past the guy at this point.
"which is why, if you've ever emailed me to ask how you do this kind of stuff, chances are you never really needed my advice to begin with."
Probably the best line in the video as far as I'm concerned.
Randy Pitchford looks like the kinda person who literally never tells the truth. I wouldn't trust him to tell me that the sky was blue or that water was wet.
Owl Lightning Mage maybe he and mr Molyneux should team up in a glorious reunion from hell ❤
Owl Lightning Mage I get an 80s car salesman vibe from him.
And if he did say either of those things I would not trust it till I looked out a window at the sky and turned on a sink to touch water…….
Randy killed battleborn... It's dead, he killed it...
Well it was more like a stillborn but he failed to reanimate it as well...
Leinadlink no, it was Overwatch with the dumd free "Beta" wich is the equivalent of a drug dealer giving up free samples knowing that a big part of them will come back for more. Sure, some of Randy's reactions and strategies weren't appropriate but the customers didn't bought the game because randy was a douchebag again but because Blizzard tried to eliminate as much competition as possible
Rip Borderlands 3
overwatch killed battleborn in the same sense sonic killed bubsy, it was just a better game.
Brainbot Jezebel Sorry, but Battleborn should have just postponed its release a bit and stop competing with Overwatch. They wanted to compete and lost the fight. Releasing a more polished Battleborn half a year later would have had a bigger chance of success. People had to choose and seemingly chose Overwatch. That is neither the peoples nor Blizzards fault.
It wouldn't of been stillborn if Randy wasn't so fucking cocky and stupid and decided to release it in the same month as the hype juggernaut that was Overwatch it would of been way more successful.
Then he waited over a year to make it free to play and then refused to market it as free to play.
Please have a mud-wrestling match with Randy. Clothing is optional.
c l o t h i n g i s o p t i o n a l
Now this is what I can rally behind
Dildo bat, however, is required.
Also, an addition of the Steam Cleaner, Sterdust and the Cornflake Humunculus would up the game
GOD NO. I don't want to see Randy's Pitchford!
And no "magic tricks"
I study Media Informatics, including Game Design, and one of my professors told us that in one of the mobile games he developed and published, some stupid candy crusher clone, they the game especially appealing to housewives/mothers, made a rank up or rank down system similar to Hearthstone and then appealed directly to a mothers protection instincts by offering shields for sale that protect your rank in case you loose, he tells us he makes a shit ton of cash that way.
I told myself that I will never become a game dev like that, fuck that guy.
Why though? Your goal is to make the most amount of money possible right? The nuance comes in where you want to make people spend the most amount of money possible without realizing they're blatantly being used.
No, actually, it isn't. Sure I plan on making money, but my goal is to create something other people will enjoy. Videogames are a big part of my life and if I can be one of those guys that make kids excited for what's they get for their birthday then I'm happy. Even if that sounds pretty corny lol
If your goal is to make the most amount of money possible then you already failed at life and should remove yourself from it. Your goal is to create the best product possible, and some amount of money is needed for that, but the money is a means, not an end.
exactly. Well, maybe not remove yourself from life, but become a banker or something, not join the entertainment branche
That’s basic psychology and the mobile market in a nutshell.
Oh can we please see the main man; Jim motherfucking Sterling, son take on Randy "Check out Battleborn porn" Pitchford. That would be a battle of the ages.
Jim gets to use the 2 handed dildo sword.
HE JUST WANTED TO MAKE A GOOD GAME
Can has rap battle please?
I still want Brattleborn 2. With overwatch out now the game could do much better with less multiplater reliance
No, it wouldn't. It would be a bloodbath.
Randy Pitchford having a go at Jim? Fuck, I'm gonna have to invest in a popcorn machine.
Won't be enough mate, not enough popcorn.
ACBGames that is a disgraceful insult, I want $15 million right now.
not so sure...... my money's on an industrial sized popcorn machine.
remember when you played the shit out of a game to unlock shit using skill and progression.
Pepperidge Farms remembers
Balder's gate comes to mind
Smash Ultimate remembers.
Nintendo games still have that.
@@IVeNoMII thank god.
12:54 Almost two years later game companies are facing exactly what you talked about... legislation.
Jim does not like to say "I told you so" .. buuuuut .. *shrimp gif*
"Blandy Pitchfraud" had to pause the video for that.
Oh man I can't wait for the Duke Amiel show
What's that all about??
cloudbloom hell yeah !
yea man the dukes the funnyest
I'm still waiting for the Cornflakes Homunculus to get it's own show.
+dario
And a new sub-show of Jimquisition?
I appreciate Sterling's honesty about his addictive personality, his affinity for cosmetics, and how he finds micro-transactions constantly tempting. I think many of us who hate these things "in concept" like to pretend that we are not ever tempted to spend money on such items when in-fact we may be just as tempted as the next person.
I love how Pitchford is jumping on the "fake news" bandwagon in a feeble attempt to retroactively clean up his reputation after shitting all over it by producing sub-par games, falsifying positive feedback to make those games seem more appealing, and denying the very real flaws of said work to customers who paid good money for a dull and broken mess.
Sounds just as desperate as his attempt to sound like he didn't actually remember Jim *Fucking* Sterling's name (so pretty much the entire interview). Pitchford's not fooling anyone.
It worked so well for the politicians... although gaming kind of did it before the orange troll's supporters detached themselves from reality. Before, bad game developers/publishers blamed others for playing the game wrong or lying for dramatic effect or some shit.
And now we live in a post-fact world, so I guess we're boned.
I love it when I speak to some friends about games and someone mentions Randy the first response is always: "oh that's piece of shit"
Randy Bitchford looks like a guy who would steal your car and then sell it back to you.
And the radio is missing when you get the car back
But not before crashing it into your house and trying to get you to pay the damages.
I wouuld bet he actually did that allready once in his life. He is obviouusly beyond any human decency. What gigantic , rabastard.
Nah. He hasn't got the spine to do anything like that.
That's Shawn Murray
Funny thing about this is, he obviously knows your name very well but he's pulling that obvious move were it's like "yea I don't even care that much so I can't remember his name" lol
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I find it amazing how Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was utterly free of Activision's shitty policies.
The94Venom blew my mind too
Have to laugh at... That guy. You know, the conman and pathological liar. Rudy Shitcock or something, can't remember the name...
Kodaemon i think his name is randy bitchcock or randy suckcock. Tho im not sure.
Ralphie Throwchevrolet? Rudyard Flingchrysler?
Ummm... Runny Mouthoff!
No, that's not it...
Mandy Nipslord? I feel like that's close.
Sandy Beachfloor
Randy Bitchford is really asking for it now. When will he learn that doubling down on lies and idiocy only doubles the backlash he gets? Although at this point, he's already at 100% disapproval, so I guess there's nothing left to lose!
One word: Warframe.
I'm so glad Jim mentioned it. It's a great game with probably one of the most fair F2P monetization systems.
@Dhruv Menon
Oh look, someone have learned a new word! "Skinner's Box"! Don't you realize that it's something used by most games regardless of business model?
I think the truth is that end-game is shit for most online games. requires too much time or money investment just because.. why honestly? make players feel like they've accomplished something in a fucking game?
That's why I stop playing online games when I reach that point. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy them prior to that. That's also a reason why I think single player games are superior.
Dhruv Menon I respect your opinion, but I don't think that Warframe players don't enjoy themselves.
And you are wrong about content. Many times they released free cosmetics as rewards.
Also the Devstreams they made rewards the players with Platinum and a lot of it !
So if you are inpatient the Warframe isn't for you.
@Dhruv Menon What the hell you talking about "Don't make this game big" Why the hell you even think people talk great about this game? It's not because they only want that end loot and that is it. Every game has a form of grind small or big.. I think you just lack patience for Warframe and it ain't your thing! Because you are hella in the minority with your opinion...
As someone with 4600 hours in the game: both sides have a point here. I.M.O. the kuva grind is the most toxic part of the game at the moment. We need more challenging and rewarding ways of obtaining it. Besides that, platinum is a decent f2p currency. The plat discounts are a good way of rewarding patience whilst maintaining the value of plat as an in-game currency. Tradeable and lets players obtain items to trade for plat if they have more time than money. Gameplay is entertaining and variable enough to make obtaining items that are worth platinum as enjoyable as any other part of the game (EXCEPT KUVA ARGG)
I've got plenty of issues with the game as any veteran will, but the monetization isn't really one of them. Any time I buy some prime accessories , plat with a 75% discount and especially tennogen items I feel like I'm supporting something I enjoy of my own free will.
Blizzard can't afford east coast US servers for any of their games.
But they can sure afford to build their own e-sports buildings and shell out tons of money for the events!
Provide a good experience for their normal playerbase? HAH! What a stupid notion!
Also that FF7 music made me lose focus of what was being said. Damn you nostalgia.
They have to keep up with League since Dota2 and Evo already upped their budget for the venue... I am not defending blizzard, I hate them all the same..
And they tossed all the Aussie and Kiwi players on the west coast as well. So half the fuckin planet is running on one server. Yay.
Comments that haven't aged well :/
@@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD sadly it is true
Blizzard matchmaking = put 2 or 12 random ready queued players together, who cares if there's a bronze to grandmaster skill gap.
he meant Randy Bitchford
honestly I think blandy pitchfraud is the best one
@Pretty Good Gaming
Let's settle at Hardy Bitchfraud
Did Randy just declare war? Because that did sound like a declaration of war.
linuxares
Fucking hacker didn't even use a casus belli.
Nah, he was very smart about it and didn't say any names, so it doesn't count. :-P
at least we know what side we will join
I love how Jim’s videos just get more and more relevant as time goes on, like a quality wine.
Jim what about a series called ‘Sterling Reserves’ where you go over timelines of game industry nonsense via clips of your previous videos.
Bruh 💯
To a guy that makes games that sell millions in the US alone, he spends a lot of time ranting about a single journalist that can't even muster half a million views worldwide in a week.
That's not critique against Sterling, he does well enough and I wish I could get that kind of viewership, but when you're talking about a CEO for a AAA giant, that's on a completely different scale.
It's like the elephant being spooked by the mouse!
This may very well be the first and only time Jim Sterling has ever been viewed or referred to as " a mouse ". Just saying.
Gearbox is not a AAA giant, they are barely holding together at this point, and their resources come from 2K (an actual AAA giant)
....i literally at 20 years old, reading this as i rewatch this video, am realizing that’s what the joke is, that’s why elephants are portrayed as afraid of mice, something massive being so focused on and afraid of what should be almost completely insignificant to them
@@300IQPrower I don't want to be "that guy" but I am going to be.
Elephants aren't actually afraid of mice, they're extremely gentle and intelligent creatures that recognize they would kill the mouse by standing on it. If the appear to panic, it's because they're trying NOT to squash the little guy while he squeaks around under their feet.
My favorite part about Warframe is that premium currency and items can be traded freely between players. Its not only demonstrates a "you earn it you own it" policy that even some "AAA" games can't afford digital content, but it allows some dedicated free players to market to short-term payed players, and set the price of some content outside of dev's marketplace.
I love the trading system in that game, it's nice being able to free trade between other players. Plus it means you don't have to worry about missing out on old Prime gear once it's in the vault since you can just buy it off another player :D
All I need now is the addition of trading house and not AFK sell on relays.
I need to sell some of my prime parts but I can't do it for a long time cuz I need to have fun and get off my fkin mr 4 self... Not ranting just wishing it exist in PoE later.
Yeah it still needs work, but the fact that they implemented it at all is a good demonstration on how they feel about ownership of content.
Also I feel that low rank struggle. I was lucky to hit a plat sale on my early ranks (with some disposable income). But trust me, after rank 8 they just start to fly by. Unless you're trying to keep literally ever weapon you rank, them slots add up.
Naota Kenichi I'm just keeping my faves. But at least I want to sell stuff earn plat in-game, basically experience it. Or just keep the plat for future use or buy prime parts myself cuz even buying prime parts I need to spam wtb in chat lol.
I just hope we get it PoE (the trading house) or at least DE can make us sell items for plat and not just credits.
Well there's warframe.market which a few sellers use to list items, and it gives you some idea of who is selling what for what.
Jim I see that stubble growing in, you have to grow a huge beard - it'll be glorious please dad
Top ten Dark Souls beards please.
Nah just kidding.
No you know what, not kidding. There's some absolutely magnificent beards in those games. Jim's beard is Nr. 1 if he grows one.
Viking Jim!
Andre the Blacksmith already wins.
Salt and sanctuary next greyrat. Its 2D souls
Jim as a leather daddy biker with a giant beard :thinking:
Hi Jim! Fairly new sub here, just wanted to throw my hat in:
XL Games/Trion Worlds, destroyed ArcheAge.
From what I hear, alpha didn't even have a micro-transaction market. Later, introduced it and most of their playerbase left. They tried to reset the economy introducing 2 fresh start servers, but guess what! They reopened the market and destroyed the economy within the first couple days of it being up and running. Recently they just merged, sorry "evolved", severals servers together. Which reset: The guild you were in, houses you had to use resources to build from the floor up, custom images you put on clothes/boats/other image items, and much more.
I believe it was because of low population, didn't really read into it, but was their smoothest transition I ever experienced with the company. However, if you weren't a subscriber, there was little to NO chance, you were getting through the queue to get online, which is an annoying re-occurring problem with this company.
It's seems like they're trying to push out more "content worthy" patches, but it's all happening within moths of each other and with rollbacks on top of that, how am I supposed to catch up or even enjoy the content? April/May of this year was patch 3.0(one of their worst launches and a horrible patch that effected a HUGE chunk of gameplay/how you earned money), then in June was 3.5(wasn't around), now they're coming out with patch 4.0, again didn't read into when it was releasing, because it seems like nonsense.
This game really wants you to play, but there are so many restrictions on it, (FOR A FREE TO PLAY GAME) that it turns you away before you even hit lv 40. The grind is just absurd and after lv 30, you're thrown out into a world with no real direction, where someone 10+ lvls higher than you, can just come along and kill you; giving you a death penalty that takes away experience points. Even if they're on the same side as you!
The crafting system was unique but a NIGHTMARE to deal with, because you had to use labor. A resource you got just for being online, 5 points for 5 minutes-max of 2000 points for f2p players, 10 points for 5mins AND 10 points for 5mins if you're offline with a 5k max for subscribers.
There are ways of replenishing your labor, but they've added a 12 HOUR cooldown to a potion that gives you 1k. If I did my math right; you'd be able to get that 1k labor in roughly 3-4 hours. That's one hell of a penalty for just wanting to progress a little faster, when you give a CLEAR advantage to subs, on a "f2p model".
here's some alternatives to some 'AAA' fee to pay games that are actually free
Destiny 2- Warframe
Diablo 3- Path of Exile
Overwatch- Paladins
didnt see your comment, sorry- didnt mean to steal ideas, just thought similarly
Paladins sucks
POE IS BEST FEE TO PAY ITS BASICALLY 100% FREE APART FROM QUALITY OF LIFE !!!
I'll give it to you babe; right on spot with Warframe, much better than many AAA titles out there.
but diablo ins't Fee to play. its got a base price and 2 xpacs... I'm not saying its good cus PoE is better, but it aint fee to play
"I love that I'm in this guys head!" No, Randy I believe it's the other way around. You wouldn't keep mentioning Jim Fucking Sterling Son if that were correct!
That's what I thought too. Obviously if he bothers to bring Jim up in an interview it means that Jim's stuck in his head.
Yeah I mean how long has it been since Aliens CM? He needs to let it go. I actually like Randy Pitchford a lot, he isn't afraid to go outside the box, is the opposite of the stuffy corporate type, and is a passionate advocate for gaming and gamers. He's definitely got some honesty issues going on though. It would be tough to do but if there were fake Twitter accounts I'd admire him for just admitting it, and if the Aliens game was misrepresented (although I don't know, I didn't follow what went on at the time).
Jeff, Bitchford literally said that the massive graphical/gameplay difference between the trailer and game is a "very minor issue" and we're all wrong for complaining about it. It is our fault for having too high expectations after seeing the trailer. This is literally what he was saying in that interview. Bitchford is a slimey snake who should be out of the industry.
Randy is clearly projecting here. It's been 4 years since that game came out and Randy still can't stop talking about Jim, clearly Jim is still in his head
"He's definitely got some honesty issues going on though."
That's a very nice way of saying "He's a bloody liar"
So happy you're calling out Randy and for the old song
Wait a minute. Did Brazzers REALLY released an Overwatch parody porn? lol!
@@f25key57 Whoo! You have a braincell!
They did a doctor who one once, fantastic production values......seriously.
@@Grayvorn well then, allon-sy 😏
Couple of years later I still feel that overwatch should've been just a free to play game with micro-transactions.
It's still free to NOT play.
It literally should be free I'd sing its praises if it was
I see Randy "Just" Pitchford in the thumbnail and wanker in the title and I instantly click
Slagging off Randy AND The old intro? Jim, my birthday's not for two days now please
Alexander Thomsen As you heard Jim knows customer service 😉
Path of Exile is a good example of a game with microtransactions
Agree, but slight correction. A good example of a game that does microtransactions the correct, ethical, and fun way.
@@Bancheis
I like PoE as an example because it's not a case of "you totally don't have to" but a case of "if you need it you're far enough into it that it just makes sense and the creators kind of earned it."
When I got to the point where I thought "damned I need those" I also thought "time to spend the money I would pay for this game." which came to be about 30 bucks.
Londronable I buy the supporter packs because I enjoy this one more than WoW and LoL combined. The amount of money I’ve spent on those two games over the past 15 years makes it only right to drop the $120 when the time comes.
You look like you walked straight out of casino in New Vegas.
I've maintained that (his hospital visit notwithstanding) Jim has looked healthier and healthier since his legal battle with Digital Homicide came to a close, and now looking at Randy Pitchford, he seems to be accumulating what Jim is losing. The man looks like he's being inflated.
Zombiewithabowtie can no one spell fucking LOSE anymore???
it took me a while to realise it was pitchford. thats how bloated hes gotten off the teat of the consumer
Yes I can, but I can't touch type and I hit enter before I'd noticed the spelling mistake. I've corrected it now.
Man, Randy is the most jilted of lovers. "Who was that guy? I don't even know his name. Now I will go into an extended rant about him! This guy I certainly barely remember! He has a hard-on for me though!"
Haha! Now that you mention it, sounds exactly like something Donald tRump would do.
He didn't want to risk being taken to court for slander, so he didn't name him :)
I'm so glad you put Randy-boy in the thumbnail so I can find this episode when I need to.
I am really late to the game because I have the attention span of a goldfish but I want to say that it makes me so, so happy to hear praise for Warframe in a Jimquisition video. It's by far my favorite ongoing game and it continually impresses me with the level of quality content it puts out for free. I've reached late game paying actual money for only two things: cosmetics designed by community members who get paid directly for their work and premium currency on an occasion when I had 75% off and could get an absurd amount for only $5. The gameplay is loads of fun, the animation and general presentation are phenomenal, and the storytelling does a good job of being engaging despite the spotty and confusing lore. Absolutely should have won the Labor of Love award.
If you follow Jim on Twitter, he's actually been really getting into Warframe lately, so I hope this topic comes up again at some point in the future with Jim having a more in-depth perspective on the game.
Mostly because, as much as I love the game and the universe of Warframe, the paid elements vary wildly from impressively thoughtful to bafflingly frustrating. Platinum and it's application is often great, being not only intelligently managed with cosmetics that can only be bought with Platinum being cheap but earnable resources like frames and weapons being more expensive for the "rush" crowd, but being attainable in game through other means if you put the work in (ie. trading).
On the flip side, the emphasis on wait times and excessive grinding becomes /suffocating/ at times, leaving me feeling aimless and slavishly beating my head against ludicrous drop tables. Sometimes it isn't even to their betterment; some of the worst items to farm like the Brakk/Detron or some of the more egregious wait times like Clan Research have no alternative system of purchase, making me wonder why they're even bothering putting players through this.
Anyway, yeah, would also love to hear Jim talk about it at some point. Good but weird shit.
Kind of late now, but it might please you to hear that not only has Jim spoke favorably about Warframe, but also criticized it. The last part isn't the remarkable bit. What's remarkable is that Space Mom and the team actually listened to him. Granted, it's an issue the community has been railing against them for some time (purchasing the prime cosmetics without buying the full unvaulting prime access), but not only is Jim a fan of their game, the game's devs are fans of Jim.
Valkyr for life.
On another note, those drop tables do take a remarkable amount of piss at times. Ivara was a massive pain to get, and Equinox just took sooooo many runs at Tyl Regor that I got really, really sick of listening to his reasonably well-written and actually quite well voice-acted lines despite the overall good quality of them. But eh, it was something to do I suppose. I much prefer the story content and open-world helping people and stuff, though.^^
Uhhh so when does Cornflakes Homunculus get his own show? Thank God for Cornflakes.
"That's my name."
Jim drops the mic.
Loved that.
I love how this was recommended to me 4years later. What a wonderful look back
Just found this channel. And I've immediately fallen in love with its content.
Hahahaha Randy Pitchford misses no opportunity to make a fool of himself
Js Zirani *Bitchford
Old theme? What a treat.
Just don't get fucking used to it.
I like this one more because it's more fitting than the other. It portrays Jim as the badass as he his. Thank god for Jim!
I actually really like the new theme song. Both are great tho
Love that you used the clip of that developer "forgetting" your name. Thats why I subscribed!
The live action Overwatch scene @ 12:00 is the best part of this video! You earned my subscribe with that! XD
As soon as I saw the intro I knew shit was about to go down...
The Return of Drill Queen.
sly3o
It just doesn't fit any more.
Still good, though.
i dont know when you brought your intro back, but i'm damn happy you did
This interview is what made me check this channel out and I'm so glad I did.
So whats Randys goal here? Discredit Jim? When did that work? How does he have the time to do this when his games arent even finished?
WhereGodIsNobodyKnows Apparently NOT to remember his name.
at least he was right about the hard on
He has time to do this because he never had any intention of finishing them in the first place.
no one cares about Randy dude can be hit by a bus all i care, dude is liar and a cheat
He's not trying to convince anyone, he just wants oh so badly to piss off Jim with his brazen lies and bitching. Worked out great, Randy, he really didn't throw your shit right back at you laughing.
......That moment when you see someone kick the literal hornets nest that is Jim Sterling and you wince because you know they will the proud owner of a new hole to shit out of.
That ending "Everybody's thinkin bout me" was mad classy, Pitchford definitely picked a wrong option somewhere along the line haha
Rewatching this, it is impressive how far back Jim was predicting laws to regulate loot boxes.
Randy Pitchford is also the guy that had no idea about what G2A was before the shitstorm that ensued after Gearbox announced their collaboration with G2A for Bulletstom Remastered.
""""""had no idea""""""
Randy Bitchford's stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
Holy fucking Shit, Randy Pitchford will NOT LET THIS GO XD
Any game that sells progress, power, or time investment is abusing the f2p model. Don't see how someone can defend pay-to-win MTX systems while saying that a cosmetic-only MTX system is bad just because it occurs on a "premium" game. The issue with Overwatch's system is that it's gambling-based, not that there is an avenue for extra purchases on top of the 40USD base game. Judge the content packages on their own merits.
@@TheRodentMastermind
lootbox systems are Literally gambling, as in legally considered gambling and illegal to sell in games in belgium, as ea just had to comply with th-cam.com/video/fnh2Yu0eaiY/w-d-xo.html
the problem is that even if you personally aren't bothered by it people with addictive personalities are the ones being targeted, they always are
Fantastic work, Jim. I feel like you waited to release this until everyone was back from holiday so you could address a serious issue, like a real journalist, which you are.
Drill Queen?!?!? Now that's a reason to start "Poundin' It"
I always wonder how much a company has to make in profits before its consumers will stop accept 'development costs' as justification for additional price hikes. The Gaming Industry is definitely the worse but so much of the consumer base still buy into these excuses for price hikes in the form of paid content and other additional fees. It just boggles my mind, as if people like being ripped off by big business....
So long as people keep giving them money, what possible reason do they have to stop?
they do,did you live under a rock for the last few years?Masochism is like so hype now.
Jinx Dragon The live in mansions and drive luxury cars. They don't need more money.
...its all lie by the way. in the 360 area we already make high poly version of everything in the game. high = mils of poly. its not useable for any real time game but we make a low poly version and bake all the details into that. what does that mean?
Development cost has not gone up for the last 10 years...cause we been making high detail models,texture, and all of that. all that it takes to make a 1080 usebale texture (1024 by 1024 for an example) or a 4k texture is to make sure we have the right format and texture output during the export processes.
never, because they just keep claiming that marketing costs are rising or that engines are more and more expensive, and it's a cost people should just accept, in any other industry people would laugh at them because their inability to manage production costs isn't the consumer's problem, and that it's the developers who should be figuring out how to cut costs.
I mean imagine if I tried to sell you a bottle of water for $100 and justified the price saying it was because of how costly it is to ship ice from the himalayas, melt it with lava from mount vesubius and then put it in bottles handcrafted by a brazilian artisan with plastic from norwegian recycling plants, you think the "but it's treepuhl A quality" excuse would cut it?
Great episode Jim! Major props for putting Loadout on there, I miss that game so much. It was one of my favorite F2P games and I happily used to put money on it all the time for the cosmetics just because I enjoyed the modes and gameplay so much. Pity the servers died :(
recently came back to watching, haven't seen anything since the escapist days and man I just wanna say you are doing a sterling job(pun intended). if you read this, I hope you have a great day and a happy life you fucking legend
YES THE OLD INTRO MUSIC! IT SOUNDS SO SWEET
Please stay with this it made my day hearing it...
he won't
"Just don't get fucking used to it," says the intro card.
meh, i never understood the obsession over it, i prefer the new one as it's more thematic
I like the new theme too but I personally think it should be used as the end credits song while keeping the original as the intro music. It's too iconic (actual iconic, not Ubisoft iconic) in my opinion, and hearing it gets me hyped up at the start of every video.
The Jimquisition just feels so much better with the original theme.
Wanker my favorite British slang
wonka*
That last monologue with Jim talking about Randy always makes me go "DAMN, SON! JIM GO HARD!" every time.
The last time I was this early, Born Depressed was still the theme song.
Rabbidking Except
I can't believe anyone else remembers Loadout.
Ghost Mutton why ? It's a good game. Stole 3 months of my life when it came out.
Ghost Mutton too bad the console version ruined the pc version :l
Mr. Bean is it a joke or is it for real ? I haven't played it in a long while.
Jean Roch yeah, they ported it for ps4, and havent even touched the pc version since
It's a damn shame. I gave them about $40 in costume shit because I was so impressed with the game.
Jim, I know this is an old vid, but finally got round to watching it, and you are absolutely right. You were right back then, and you are right now.
FYI, you Sir, are a force of fucking nature, and I fucking love you. Keep it up there fella!
Love your work. Long time viewer from the Escapist to now, finally decided I should get off my ass and offer my patronage to the best man on youtube. Hope you stay healthy and keep doing what your doing.
"Just don't get fucking used to it."
It's okay. Jim's Big Ego's great
Anon E. Mousse Why cant he have one be the intro and the other be the outro?
I noticed the graffiti for the first time this episode and I thought it meant "shit practices of the games industry" but this makes more sense.
Love the way he is too scared to call you fat but is more than happy to mime it out.
I love the ork thing rubbing its hands together in shadow of mordor that has to be a loot box meme
"If you care enough, you are on the right track." This is true in most areas in life.
warframe devs wanted to make a good game so badly they went over publishers to prove it was a good concept without publishers meddling with it
If I remember well, publishers told them "It's gonna be beautiful, and you're gonna fail miserably", and they were like "bring it on". That's the short version.
Basically, and now they're flashing middle fingers at said publishers because it works so well in their favor.
Except that the devs of Warframe are owned (more than 50%) by a chinese food company.
A company that doesn't mess with their game.
Feels good to hear the good ol Born Depressed
Mad Panda
It does, but I've became a fan of the Stress song.
Drill Queen is SUPERIOR.
I prefer Jim's Ego, to be honest.
I like both
I think "Stress" is a much better fit for this incarnation of the show, but after seeing Randy Pitchford try to Kraz up (see: American Vandal) this idea that Jim didn't bother him, Drill Queen was the only way to go.
22:33 haha oh boy, never though I'll see that weapon from Saints Row 3 in real life.
I just started to listen The Jimquisition and its great, I'm loving al the videos so far, keep the great work Jim !!
I'm so happy born depressed is back as the intro song, please keep him
Who is that again?...Brandy Ditchfork? Franny Sinklore? Candy Pisscork?....I totally forgot 😈
definitely blandy bitchford
Brandy Shitstorm
Randy bitchford...i think
Ghandi Glitchford?
Rangle Gibfurd
BORN DEPRESSED IS BACK! HELL YEAH!
AND I'M NOT LIKE YOU! Hells yes!
Yea, just don't get fucking used to it.
Dazuam made up it's better than the other theme
I think it's a callback to how far back this Pitchford thing goes XD
I prefer the new one, but it's nice to have a reprise once in a while
Thanks for talking about how microtransactions have a place in the games industry, Jim. Means a lot.
You cheeky little man. You put vampire images on the screen and play "Money Money Money" in the background while talking about greed :D
...but don't we *ALL* have hard ons for you?
Waiting until you see the orgies at the Jim Fucking Sterling Con.
Thank God for my hardon for Jim Fucking Sterling Son. But more importantly, Thank God for Jim Fucking Sterling Son.
So Jim has gotten so large in the industry that someone like Randy Pitchford is playing silly beggers and acting like a child when it comes interviews either that or Randy has fallen so far from the big buck days of Borderlands 2 that he can only make himself look like he has any worth by pretending to forget peoples names. The first is awesome news for Jim the second is frankly pathetic for an individual that calls himself the CEO of a major gaming company.
Gearbox will be better off without this man around. He is nothing but a liability, people hate whole Gearbox by proxy just because Randy is a douche.
The only time any of their IPs has been good is when they lent the rights to TellTale.
ZechsMerquise73 That's very wrong, boderlands wad always great b4 TT.
Sorry but Borderlands 2 was a very good game and was a rare example of how to do a season or DLC pass correctly.
3 and a half years since the interview with randy bo-bandy pending like he doesn't know who you are? my! how time flies...
Ahwww...this was the nicest sentence I've heard from you towards new/upcoming developers. Thank you for this video :)
Dont lie about dressing up Jim, I know you like dressing like that.
I'd root for you in the fight.
