The Entertainment Software Association represents the "AAA" game industry's interests in the US, and that alone qualifies it for side-eyes. Its recent pitch for E3 2020, however, is stunning in its awfulness.
So let's discuss the ESA and why the increasingly irrelevant E3 is set to become downright dreadful in the future.

The Jimquisition: Too hot for TH-cam's algorithm.
*shit
Too shit.
It's big, scary and now pink ;)
Well at least he attracts edgy teenagers
@@yap_yap_ No, actually. My viewing stats skew adult (single digit percentages for under 18s, last I checked). It's also part of why I am deeply unpopular - TH-cam's millions of kid viewers pretty much hate me.
@@JimSterling Think it's a combination of swearing not being kid-friendly and the content itself not being kid-appealing? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, it's just what you do and you do great job at it. :)
Wow, the comments didn't immediately fill up with "I miss the old logo" which is how you *know* a change succeeded. Justin killed it on the new logo, and I have some classy (read: delightfully garish) pink aviators and a tie coming. Probably keeping the hat for now, because it's awesome. The intro music isn't new or altered, but Justin used a different chorus (previous intro used the last chorus, this uses an earlier one), so that's why it sounds a bit different. I'll either record a podcast or put an article up discussing the aesthetic alterations, but the short story is that this is just more "me." Hot pinks and purples have always been my thing, as anyone can testify if they've seen the color schemes I often go for in a videogame's character creator.
I miss the old logo dude.. 😋
It's got a bit of a Saints Row feel to it.
/shrug/ I really like both.
I feel you, Jim. Not much for aviators, but I just today ordered a pair of pink, frameless glasses. I also wear a feather in my fedora, so I can always appreciate rocking a fancy cap. :B
@@greenredblue Hey, so long as you like what we've got, then we're doing okay! :)
Jim: TH-cam algorithm won't like this video
TH-cam algorithm: sends me this video after months of not seeing Jim on my feed
Funny, I regularly get recommendations for Jim's videos....
TH-cam Algorithm be like: "Oh, you think I won't recommend this? BOOM! Front Page! Haha, yeah, keep 'em guessing"
TH-cam's algorithms worship tzeentch...
@@alexdhall interestingly I'm subscribed to Jim and his videos never appear at my dashboard. I always have to go to subscription and see if he posted anything.
@@entitledOne Why isn't that the first page you check?? I have my sub feed linked and I only check the home page if I've seen everything I've watched from the sub's and I'm terribly bored. Which is maybe in the weekend.
Who knew reverse psychology worked on algorithms?
I think "Influencer" is one of the most cynical terms I've learned about recently.
I keep hearing it and it ain't for nothing good. It doesn't seem like anyone I follow openly calls themselves an 'Influencer' and I only ever hear it when they're trying to sell things or get things for free ala Choosing Beggar paid in exposure style.
This episode could’ve been called
“The ESA is a big POS.”
But Jim isn’t one for holding back.
Screw the algorithm!
@@JimSterling yeah fu- I mean, screw the algorithm!
This is absolutely gold!😂👌
A big "point of sale"?
@@weirdaljedifan2 'Pubes On Screen', close though.
Petition to force the ESA to change their name so it's not confused with the European Space Agency, a body that actually does good for humanity.
Or the European speedrunner association
ESA isn't even needed at this point, they only care about interests of publishers, not consumers, it was mostly made for rating system and protection, well they failed in that shit, and just advertising and shaking hands for scum practices instead now
Ha ha, it's hilarious when they get weird angry tweets that have nothing to do with them.
ESA, NASA, the Russian, Indian and Chinese Space Agencies should all combine to make a PSA (Planetary Space Agency)
@@kyotheman69 A ratings board is surely needed. Just not one run by the leaders of the video game industry.
Remember this? upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Parental_Advisory_label.svg/2880px-Parental_Advisory_label.svg.png
I really want to see one that says "Predatory Monetization" instead at the bottom, stamped on the face of any game that deserve it.
This is the first Jimquisition video that showed up on my home page. Apparently, leaning into the swearing is working.
Seconded, go hard jim. Pound it.
@@deandurden2516 he does!
@@deandurden2516 Pounding it... pounding it... pounding it...
@@DeusMachina_EXE pounding it....
I looked up one Angry Joe video for the first time in like eight months...
Now he's the only one showing on my page. Jimquistion never did (his other videos did), aside from that was just Nostalgia Critic and John Oliver (specifically videos over six months old.)
As a comfortably heterosexual man, I can confirm that I too want to have a romantic relationship with Keanu Reeves and live together in a mushroom house.
I'd question your orientation if you didn't.
i am comfortably gay and i don't see how any man wouldn't want keanu and the mushroom house lol.
Ghosty Toasty we’ve all got exceptions darling, that’s where the whole man crush thing came from.
(For the record, mind are Keanu Reeves and Henry Cavill)
The easiest ways to detect if someone is an alien is if they are not in romantic love with Keanu Reeves
I'm ace, and even I want that Keanu Reeves/mushroom house combo.
So if you want to go to E3 you will need a fake I.D and a burner phone to protect yourself from their incompetence
Only if you got something to hide
@@DCPTF2 What, like your social security number?
@@milesbeler3974 why on earth are you giving E3 your Social security number?
At this point it'd be easier to go to DEFCON. Y'know, the one in Vegas full of hackers.
@@DCPTF2 can you post your full name and address here then please? You got nothing to hide right?

Jim, you've just won video games journalism. All of it.
FOMO when i was young was "dad, but im missing out, my friends have it" dad " well, you must learn that you cant have everything you want in life" me: sulked for a day, forgot all about it.
The look on this generation's faces when they realize "influencer" is just another word for "salesperson" is gonna be hilariously... sad....
this generation? I am sure most people, of any age, will or won't know at about the same rate. People were not somehow more or less savvy in yesteryear's,
There's a difference though. Salespeople actually get paid on commission for the garbage they sell you. The ESA basically treats influencers as free advertising.
Sentinel Oh no, they get paid, believe you me. Those fuckers aren’t doing shit for free, all of them have rates.
Control content and the message.
That phrase sounds a bit SCP to me.
I recommend control btw, very good game.
SECURE. CONTAIN. GENERATE FOMO.
Secure, Control, Profit
@@Madway OK that's perfect!

DON'T SMACK TALK THE EUROPEAN SPEEDRUNNER ASSEMBLY
hey wait
Came here to say this.
or the European Space Agency!!!
ユノ ha
@@StrangelJean like nasa is doing so great
you needed a car sales man using Chinese tech and Russian rockets to launch your satellites
@@catnium not to mention the astronauts committing identity theft..
.... Is it bad i clicked on this video wondering what jim's problem with the European Space Agency was?
Same.
I was wondering what the European Speedrunning Assembly had done to earn Jim's disapproval
I mean it's kind of a weird relic of Imperialism that the bit of the European Union the European Space Agency launches from is actually located in South America, but that's more France's fault than the E.S.A.'s, they just have economic/physics incentive to launch from the closest-to-the-equator zone that's legally in an E.U. territory
"Control the content and the message"
Pfffft, I can only imagine the Colonel AI from Metal Gear Solid 2 spouting those words
I feel the thing fell apart the moment they mentioned "influencers". It's by far the worst term in recent years.
absolutely
In my mind it just translates to "waste of carbon" when I see the damn word.
@@SwissyChief1265 mmm? i dunno- when i see the word i'm influenced to say "oh fuck off!"
Calling these people influencers is insulting the general population by saying they're just followers. Which, if you think about it, is unfortunately true.
I like when they call themselves "influencers," as if they feel like they're actually important and respected members of human civilisation. 🤣
"...that's exactly the kind of thing Lex Luthor does."
Jim, that's not fair. Lex Luthor is much cleverer than that.
The same Lex that stole 40 pies?
Because that’s terrible
*more clever
@@Avirx yeah, that.
Well, to a point, at least. He'd actually be a lot more dangerous if he knew how to keep his ego in check. Your point stands though, at best the pubic hairs that work at ESA can only be considered Luthor's interns.
He's not stupid enough to say "I'm doing charity to excuse my eeeevil.". Nobody is. Apart from the ESA, apparently.
"Power of Social Good"
"Control content and the message"
La li lu le lo. La li lu le lo.
Why didn’t we listen to Kojima when we had the chance!
Fuck it, why not? Nanomachines Son!
ESA: Let your -country- ESA control your soul!
Let your -country- ESA control your soul!
Let your -country- ESA control your soul!
*Let your **-country-** ESA Control... Your... Sooooooul!*
Kojima was ahead of the times and that's real talk.
And he didn't pull it out his butt, this pattern's been going on for almost as long as human civilization. Kojima applied it to the internet age in a novel fashion.
Thank god for you, Jim, because you've just saved me a HUGE amount of money. I was seriously thinking about emitting a passport and going all the way from São Paulo - Brazil to L.A. to attend next year's E3.... But, by your description, even without the social media bullshit, it's a event riddled with long lines and not much to do besides being exposed to a buttload of advertisement.
And if that's what E3 is, I'm much better watching the Conferences on Twitch, and going to my local gaming convention (BGS) with my cosplayer friends. It's the same shit, but it'll cost me like 1/20th of the price.
Correct
What the actual heck Jim? I can't believe how irresponsible you've become. Putting up that long of a Wii Music clip? That's just barbaric.
i prayed every second he would finally cut away but it went on and on...
Remember the congress rap?
Especially considering his jab at the Nintendo CEOs horrible music at the beginning of the video.
Here's a TV that looks like an apple.
God that was embarrassing and I’m just watching that atrocity. And I’m not on stage doing that shit.
"TH-cam isn't going to like this video"
Literally recommended on my front page. WHAT UP! You win, Jim!
the algorythm is weird. Sometimes the video that makes a channel come back into my reccomendeds is their "youtube is censoring the platform" videos, which I find kinda funny
Keanu Reeves also worked because he was involved in the game and appears to be quite taken with the whole game too, not merely appearing in it, actually enjoying it as much as he would if it were a pet project of his own. There are a few people, that developer woman who recently left would be one example, of people who are involved in a game (or a game company) and seem to actually love working there and excited about what they are talking about (and, just as importantly, not talking about things if they aren't genuinely loving it). Someone who just did some voice work doesn't work.
Not taken. Breathtaken
I've been hearing that he was enamored with the game and actually wanted them to give his character a bigger part..
At least Luthor's evil goals revolve around hurting ONE person, rather than screwing over massive groups of customers.
What did i ever do to offend you Mr. Sterling? :(
Aww that's unfortunate
Esa Miettinen might consider changing your name..
Change it to something more good like lootbox or nba2k20
Did you consider suing your parents for what they did to you by naming you like that?
Dude you could sue the ESA for copying your name
About TH-cam's algorithm: I recently had one of your videos about lootboxes turn up in my suggestions section. Your inimitable style combined with your high-quality substance ensured that within watching a few videos, I had become a subscriber.
So Jim, I would like to offer you reassurances that while you might not be getting the recognition and exposure that you want, nay deserve, the algorithm has not completely buried you from new viewers.
Thank god for you, Jim. And thank you for doing *actual journalism* while remaining entertaining.
SableChrome hear hear!
Hear hear and it only takes one view for anyone with half a brain to realize the quality and message Jim works with👍
SableChrome Hi and welcome ... in my days only word-of-mouth helped getting me here ;)
"Control content and the message"
Sounds Orwellian to me.
Yup, there are actual elements of 1984 in how the industry goes about business. They hide the truth and obscure it from parents, and authorities, just keeping it between the abused and the abuser. This is their little secret, make it all glitzy and innocent-looking, while they touch us in places we don't really want them touching us in, but they do it even so. "Change the appearance of your character, yay!" (for the same price of the game).- In fact, charging money to do something that used to be part of the game cosmetic experience for free is pretty much r4pe.
Ironic that Jim deleted my comment calling him out for saying he can Report E3 better by not attending 6:50
Jim, when people look back and see the point in time when these corporations were defeated, I hope you're credited appropriately.
You're really driving the point home consistently and more and more people are catching on. Don't stop.
Agreed. The battle has only just begun. Jim has been kicking the engines for years, he better be credited!
"Why are you demonetizing me? I'm right."
He isn't deminetized by TH-cam, he does it himself. Jimquisition is funded solely by Patreon
@@exantiuse497 also because he'd totally be demonitized.
Woah there! Did you just compare Lex Lutor with the ESA?
Lex Luthor is evil, but he isn't THAT evil.
Lex would be like "Jim I do have "some" morals and dignity... well, compared to *those* guys at least."
Who da fuq is Lex Lutor?
@@TH-camDeletesComments You are either being sarcastic, which I'm mostly positive you are, so I fixed the spelling or you are serious and I can't even.

To be fair, we all want to live with Keanu Reeves in a mushroom house.
Not me. I want him to read the paper to me as we have coffee before heading out on our morning commute.
Tho to be fair that could happen in a mushroom house lmao
As would I... Until the athlete's face would set in. :/ Or was that the fate of the woman who lived in the giant shoe? *Shrugs*

I think all you people who suck Keanu Reeves off, who go on Reddit and "el oh el" circle jerk in Keanu Reeves themed subreddits, are all cringe lord weirdos who think they're being cute and funny but are actually just lame and embarrassing.
That “Power of Social Good” slide made me throw up in my mouth.
CrossfacePanda it is not just corporate, it’s sociopathic! It’s saying doing the right thing to make leeway when you fuck up, as opposed to doing the right thing because it’s the RIGHT THING TO DO!!!
@@stingerjohnny9951 Not just that. We're a generous generation because we realize how hard things are because of corporate greed. Corporate greed taking advantage of that sickens me
That was Saturday morning mustache twirling villain levels of evil
That's probably what most "charitable" actions big companies and billionaires do are really about, we just don't usually get to see them talk about it in public.
Same
Buzz and Fomo sounds like the worst buddy cop movie ever.
OR THE BEST?!?!?!
They want 10k more people for E3 2020. I don't know what's worse. The fact the ESA wants 10k more people for 2020 when the venue reportedly couldn't handle the amount of people that were there in 2019.
Or
The fact that they want 10k more people when they can't guarantee the safety of the people who attended previously. They couldn't protect however many people's information, so let's 10k more people's information to our watch.
Oh, the extra 10k people will have no effect on how difficult it is to protect. A database is a database. You can add another 100k people with no difference.
If they fix the issue they had with their current numbers, it's an automatic fix for the increased numbers too.
Big if though.
@@GNatanel point being they want to add more people to an unsecure database rather than protect those who are in it.
nonono. You misundertand. Some guy sitting in front seat staring at the presenter - clearly a rapist that should be escorted out. Leaking peoples personal information allowing others to commit ID fraud - hones mistake.
@@StrazdasLT ....wat

"The power of social good" I love how it doesn't even cross their minds how cynical that sounds.
Couldnt tell you why but that smacks of "Secret Police" and "Big Brother is Watching".

influencer is just a nice way of saying shill
Every word everybody ever said online or otherwise is said to influence ?
In TH-cam terms though "influencer" means possible revenue stream.
@@Lee-bt2cy No you dweeb - an influencer is a pseudo-"celebrity" with fans who follow them on social media who gets freebies from corporations in return for shilling and ass kissing.
You're not an influencer.
Noone cares what you think. Hence you don't get freebies or a place at E3
@@Lee-bt2cy Pretty much, yeah. In the end, our reality is shaped by what we see and hear all around us; our perception and impressions create the world we believe to be real. We are all influencers in the literal sense, online and in real life. We can either do our best to encourage a better world to take form, or we can surrender to the crappy one we've had dumped on us by douchebags.
I choose the former, when I have the strength for it.
"Shill", but with extra steps.
That is exactly what it is. They're nothing but shills..Fancy nomenclature doesn't change that, lol..
Our champion, Jim Sterling. Please continue to slay corporate dragons.
He might be right, but has he ever? I think I'd have heard him talk about how he took down some corporate chump by now.
The ESA kind of forgot about the Sterling Fleet.
But dragons are awesome, don't drag them through the mud like this
@@Mr._Sherwood drag r them though their shit
Most of those dragons have huge ears and noses, and have names like cohen, stein, berg, borg, inski, witz, levy, etc etc...
Because wherever the are some billions to be made (or rather stolen), we can count on those dragons.
The ESA is owned and operated by all the major publishers, its like self regulation lol
Where on earth did you get the idea that it is the job of the ESA to regulate the industry?
"After investigating ourselves we have found that we have done nothing wrong."
@@NShomebase Exactly. It's basically a front for them to pretend that "something" is being done to regulate the game industry when, in fact, the exact opposite is happening, and every time someone from outside tries to investigate they'll vehemently claim that they have this shit on lockdown and there's nothing to worry about as they are taking care of it right now.
Self regulation is just blatant corruption ngl
yeah, the president of ESA worked in EA, Ubisoft xd

Welcome to patient gamers brother.
You never need to buy it if you can just borrow it from a friend!
I was very confused, that Jim would talk about the European Space Agency... especially in this negative way!
Of course Jim would hate space, there are no video-games up there!
Finally my fetish of being violently advertised too can be satisfied.
Banditking Can't wait to buy 60$ games with commercials and lootboxs with commercials while we wait for it to open.
@@cryptkeeper08 don't forget the spyware to make the ads more "personalized and less annoying". 90s and 2000s nostalgia are big now and we want to enjoy our games just like we did back then, when we would get hit with programs like TimeSink and get lots of toolbars from our store-bought software. Let's not forget the good old days of shareware disks, where we had the problem of making a one-time payment once we send in the payment forms and the fact that these games would be given out for cheap or free, plus the free screensavers and wallpapers that came with them. We clearly need to get our jpegs from lootboxes and microtransactions in order to fully enjoy the game.

The fact that you're trending right now is beautiful.
Good work Jim.
Rewatching this video in 2021 makes me glad that E3 2020 didn't end up happening.
Every piece of modern marketing planning sounds like a villains line, what in gods name.

ESA: European Space Agency
This is what i get whenever i googled "ESA"
Well that’s just silly. Europe can’t have a space agency. Europe contains Poland, and Poland cannot into space!
Well, neither of them do anything noteworthy, so one in the same, I guess..lol
Wow, so even Google doesn't like the Entertainment Software Association.
Or maybe the ESA are paying Google to lower their search ranking so it's harder to see their gross behaviour?
The thing I appreciate about this channel is that it's not just a games industry channel, the content discussed is a bit of a microcosm of capitalism itself.

That video of Nintendo employees on stage physically hurt me
Ugh, the Wii Music presentation, that thinge made me physically cringe...
I wanted to throw up from embarrassment.
I know it's just a typo, but "that thinge made me cringe" should potentially be a thing.
Those Wii Music videos still make me cringe to this day.
Honestly, I think those presentations were incredibly valuable. They showed, with brutal clarity, just what a t9sser you would look like playing the game. I wonder how many people were saved from that horrendous purchasing error by those presentations.
@@AnonEyeMouse not really, imagine what you'd look like playing Fallout 76. 😏
I find them cute tbh
I don't see what's cringe-worthy about them?
I had to pause during that part of the video...
I believe it was Stephanie McMahon of all people who said "philanthropy is the future of marketing"
I can't remember whether she was talking about the breast cancer awareness stuff or the WWEs own "be a star" campaign
But either way, that's just fiendish
The first thing that went through my mind when I saw the title of this video was: "In Other News The Sky Is Blue."
Hey, Jim. I dig your new purple logo, but--and I say this by way of constructive criticism--I find your new flickering backgrounds to be really hard on the eyes (i.e. causing eyestrain to the point where I need to look away from the screen) by comparison to the static backgrounds in previous episodes of the Jimquisition. Just my two cents, though. Keep up the great work on the show, good sir!
I liked the intro logo, but yeah. The background... not so much, in all honesty.
Tend to agree - glitch effects aren't really what I associate with the "jimquisition"
You're marketable and watchable; the industry just doesn't like the truth! Thank god for Jim Sterling. Keep up the good fight, my dude.
This doesnt have to do with swearing but this is also accurate, rich people are just one corrupt cabal of assholes who have a mutual understanding of fuck the public
GREAT MOMENTS IN HISTORY! On the very day of the SOPA blackout, ICE (the US law enforcement agency) raided Kim Dotcom's home in New Zealand without any jurisdiction or suspicion of crime, but because the RIAA and MPAA _hired ICE to do so._ MEGAupload was killed (causing a terrible hit in the cloud-storage / cyberlocker industries nationwide). Extradition to the US failed. No charges have stuck. It's still in process to this day, eight years later.
At this point im pretty sure your channel is my favorite on all of TH-cam. And it’s cause you don’t give a f*|k about censoring yourself. And you’ve got a good head on your shoulders. Keep it up!
If you demand "credit" or acknowledgment for it, then it isn't charity. It's a transaction.
Charities that do real good are getting to be fewer and fewer as well.
God, I hate being this cynical.
Feels like the world doesn't give us much of a choice these days but to get more cynical. Shit like this is just apex corporate cynicism.
@@donbeverage8359 It's not truly cynical if it's based on every prior experience. If someone repeatedly punches you in the balls every time he sees you then it wouldn't really be cynical to say he'll do it again.
If a company donates to charity, 99.9% of the time it's a PR move. The only times it's not is if the charity is something very personal to the company.
Last charitable action that didn't smell of PR (that I remember anyway) was Ubisoft offering the Notre Dame model from Assassin's Creed Unity towards the Notre Dame reconstruction.

The ESA are hack frauds. They need more God-King-Immortal-Ellen-Star Rich Evans in their lives.
Jim: TH-cam's algorithm is going to hate this one
TH-cam: *places video on trending list*
trending list is hand-picked anyway.
lol TH-cam hates you so much that i didn't even get notified that you uploaded this in my notifications... i even had the bell enabled .. i had to browse your actual channel to find it lol.. keep up your god blessed work Jim.
I hate my job, I hate my life even more; but there is always Jimquisiton on mondays.
So the celebrity endorsement trend of the 90's is making a comeback?
There is nothing new under the sun.
I mean, they dusted off fucking Joe Lieberman who spent the 90s railing about violent videogames. The 90s are coming back!
...just the shit parts, apparently.
Porn stars and C&C making a comeback? I'm in..
Rexcor Jungmir looks like it
Am I remembering wrong, or many years ago did I see a very very strange game awards show hosted by David Spade?
Man I'm so glad I found your channel. Because you speak what I think and bring awareness to these things. You go against the machine not like these so called influencers that will practically lick the developers/publishers assholes just so they can get that early access to a demo or a free limited edition game. So thank you.
Digging the changes to the opening and background! Looking good there, brother. ;)
Oh Keanu Reeves I love you
I want to live with you in a mushroom house
A mushroom house
let me comment on the video while i've clearly not watched it yet
jim is right
THANKS LENIN
Dirty Commie
Thank you Lenin.
Thank you Lenin
Thank you Lenin
Just discovered your channel. Subbed. Legend, don't change
I just finished this video and saw your closing words about ESA . I see you as a very intelligent and caring person . I'm glad someone is exposing bad practices from these companies and organizations . I wish more people would hold these predatory companies feet to the flames. Unfortunately it feels like people don't care if companies use them , as long as they don't get excluded. I always tell people if they want to hear some really honest words of truth , listen to sweet dreams by the Eurythmics. I found your video very entertaining and insightful.
We love you, Justin. We may not always say it, but we feel it always.
“Social good brand”! Hahaha, PR and marketing absolutely is the pimple on the backside of humanity!
Oh no, not FOMO! 😥
You say TH-cams algorithm doesn't like you, but it's the only reason I know of your channel and it continues to strongly recommend every video you upload even though I only watch a quarter of them.
I love the new intro Jim. Very nice and short, very good!
Psychologists who work in advertising and public relations are evil.
Only if they want to. Usually psychologues are required to establish what kind of player a product is targetting. For exemple, you wouldn't make a ui for a kids game which has a lot of complicated menus and a lot of option the kid wouldn't understand Psychologue helps determining what will be your customer base and how to appeal to them before you make the actual product The problem is when the psychologue mess with the monetisation and advertising that's where its evil.
Tbh i study in programming, and usually there is always a psychologue/ergonomist and other specialist that went before hand to determine what the target audiance needs to have in the interface then designer design around that and i code the results. In theory that's how it would work. Althought i just think the business people are the one in any project that push for pricing to be in design document and since they wants garantee, for them its about getting the most garanteed money out of the product. In the end i truly think marketing and advertising should not play with whatever a product is supposed to be, the actual person who actually had the idea of creating said product should. Sadly these days every single product pass by a marketing and advertising department before being created, that apply to pretty much everything you can buy. In fact when marketing judge it can't make enough money, the product won't even go to the designer, usually the idea is canned at marketing.
Tbh if you change the way people make software you wouldve to also change the way any product is made. Aka make the marketing/advertisement depart come in after the designer design it. For software that would be after deciding you target audiance what they like, etv, then design shoild design the thing and present it to marketing. Things is doing this cost way more, cause you gotta pay all those people + their equipment,etc and when the product reach marketting they might canned it either way due to it not being profitable. Its not about being evil its about not wasting money on idea that might not work. Things is i despise marketing, i think any idea of product that is realisticly feasable should be given a chance before being sent to marketing to check its profitability. Sadly being businesses, they wants money, they only care about whats profitable. If you change the way any product is made prepare everything to cost mre and not just games, but everything
Honestly, making the conscious decision to use your understanding of the human mind to exploit people rather than assist them is an active evil.
Even if you don't want to become a bread-and-butter clinical Psychologist, there are so many alternatives that allow you to actively contribute to the wellbeing of mankind rather than assist corporations in their schemes to manipulate and misdirect.
@@CBonduMiel I said advertising and pulic relations. The work of the devil.
I don't think they are evil per se, that sort of label i reserve for pyschologists helping the military or different agency to develop new ways of psychological warfare or torture. Guys who are purely in it for the green i'd rather call a disgrace to the profession.
@@Nihilius84 the military ones who develop torture methods are more evil. But they are similar using their knowledge of peoples psychology against them.
TH-cam's algorithm recommended this video to me.
Control Content and the message.
That is what Colonel Campbell warned us about at the end of MGS2.
"We want to eliminate content and create context."
You're good Jim. I appreciate your creative honesty, and respect your not adhering to corporate friendly etiquette, or algorithms. It's rare that a person can somewhat trust that a stranger on the internet is being honest and unbiased about their opinion. Good work.
(I rarely comment or interact with videos, esp. gaming videos; and normally only to criticise)
I measure your success in this matter on the lack of advertisements I see attached to your videos. Truly a good sign
So they wanna make E3 have more people by limiting appointments that the average joes can't try the same stuff? That's all the more reason not to go in my eyes.
Ah, so that's the reason the E3 is dying.
@@TheAlison1456 Oh no, it's dying for many other reasons. This just seems to be their NEW gameplan for having people with potential negative opinions standing by the way side as they get spunky personalities who just rattle on being popular in front of their games giving them popular, un critiqued exposure as Jim said.
The thing is, they began the downward spiral when the booth babes were bouncing beach balls, and a magical good time was suddenly declared too much for the following year. They then turned E3 into a closed door kind of gig, and so people were only seeing most of anything at those closed door meetings out of light of masses all together.
Now they took things out of the shadows a while ago, but by then they already broke the spirit of E3. Now they hope to push the buzz to get those numbers back even further, but then stand them in lines at their ideal show times, and just have popular, chatty, biassed voices just yammer great things about games with no serious critique. Like watching Will Smith look up at a fortnite bus and say 'that's hot' like he did in that youtube video that was given more thumbs down than a spartacus convention through a kaleidoscope.
A proper spirited expo for games should be done like a convention. For the fans, some fair questioning, and with people being able to see some time special events, BUT, with plenty of things running around the clock for people to enjoy with questions in minds, and experiences to see that fuel feedback in turn.
Control content and the message.
Feels like 1984 was a prophecy and not fiction.
It's called Predicitve Programming
It's almost hilarious how close that book was. Like, not just socially, but even all the far-flung future technology described in the book has come to pass.
> Voice recognition? Well on its way.
> Floating fortress? Not sure how else you'd describe a modern aircraft supercarrier.
> Automated writing and music machines? GPT-2 and other neural nets are basically where they were in the book right now.
> Two-way viewscreens... It's Skype.
> ...that you can never turn off? That or Kinect.
A prophecy gleaned from the innumerable times that people have vied to control content and the message before the book was written.
One of those "no shit, Sherlock" prophecies.
It's possible to draw parallels between society today and 1984, but there are clear differences. In 1984 information was closely controlled, but I think we have more in common with Brave New World, where information is available in such a flood that it all becomes worthless.
Self fulfilling prophecy I guess
You're not pathetic or a wretch. You do good work and I thank God for you as you provide regular high quality entertainment all while keeping me informed about industry bullshit.
He kills me every time he does the mocking voice. I LOVE it. xD
