Sounds like you need to have sex OP.
He is a living shitpost.
Stopped watching him once he went full commie
how's that EA dick taste corpo-cuck
>caring about how much multi-million dollar CEO's don't get to take home
I care about some random obese fuck spreading communist propaganda and having the absolute fucking cheek to say "I, a complete stranger, get to decide how much money is too much". If he doesn't like living in a capitalist nation, then he should go live in a commune.
>Watching Jim "use a meme and you're a nazi" Sterling
Found the problem
He only talks about the big EAs and Activisions my heart just bleeds for those jews
Imagine willingly staying that obese.
He's the brit version of boogie1488, both fake as fuck and both utter creeps.
He's fat and disgusting.
You can stop buying ea without "WE MUST SEIZE THE MEANS"
fuck off Randy
They’re always fat or useless or generally undesirable, aren’t they? They’re always fucking losers, not just at present but in their fucking soul.
Wealth distribution from poor to rich: good
Wealth distribution from rich to poor: bad
Yikes
Imagine falling for corporate propaganda that says trickle down / supply side economics works.
Reminder that the U.S. had the best economy when the rich were taxed at 90%.
Bootlicking a CEO won't let you take his position in the near future, it just results in your dignity and self-respected being traded for a permanent taste of shoeshine on your tongue.
never started watching him
fuck The Escapist
>wanting consumers and employees to not be exploited makes you a commie
He's independent now.
Considering this fag makes over 100,000 a year JUST from Patreon it is funny to hear his lardass talk about income.
Jim's right about lootboxes and predatory monetization practices. You faggots can hate him all you want but he's right, it's turning the AAA games to shit. Pay2win, glorified slot machines, minimal effort dev cycles with day one DLC, it has infested the industry like a fucking plague. How many AAA games was I looking forward to in 2010? I can count at least nine of them, off the top of my head. 2020? One. Maybe two.
The problem with Jim is that he approaches it from a commie's perspective of "muh late stage capitalism", which is just as fucking cancerous as the industry he's trying to "save".
Patreon is his only income source.
Literally all his videos are him crying about Capitalism, what a disgusting subhuman fat fuck he has become.
Why would I care about the opinion of a fat white guy?
I kinda liked him around the Digital Homicide era, but when it came to him bitching about "TRIPLE EHHH GAYMES" and making countless Gearbox videos, I tuned out.
what decade was that?
No one that fat deserves to be listened to
"Yeah sure the industry is bad, but this guy complaining about it is just as bad"
Yikes.
So you don't like it when he shits on Randy Pitchford and Gearbox? Fuck off Randy.
Excuse me but do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior?
Why are you white knighting that fat wrestler so much?
Why are you white knighting Randy fuckin Pitchford?
Reminder that Jim Sterling makes more money than anybody on this board, he is the true capitalist pig enemy.
>but when it came to him bitching about "TRIPLE EHHH GAYMES" I tuned out
But user, that's all he's ever done. Whinge about AAA games and say steam greenlight is shit.
Go back to sleep, Jim
I enjoyed his videos playing shitty steam asset flips, he’s legit funny.
He doesn’t do that anymore and i don’t give a shit about western AAA games (or indies for that matter) so i stopped giving him views.
I don't think anyone here disagrees with his commentary on lootboxes. It's his persona and politics people despise.
I'm not those other blokes retard. They literally just don't like the fat wrestler and I agree with them. You're the one assuming they love who he opposes.
>Standing up for consumer-friendly practices isn't a legal right
Pretty sure he sells merch and gets ads.
If they're defending Gearbox, Randy Pitchfords company, they are defending Randy Pitchford.
Somehow I sense the gigabillionaires are a bigger problem than the entertainer making 100k.
fuck off Randy
Yes good goy pay the fat piggy to tell you what to think
>Companies like Activision pay zero dollars in taxes
>Companies like Amazon get paid and subsidized by the government
>Companies like Google create monopolies that the government is dependant on
>Companies like Facebook create their own currencies to usurp the government
>WTF are you a commie? The trickle down works!
How am I supposed to believe you people aren't the Jews?
You mean the decades with war?
They literally didnt :^) but you're so precious that them saying they don't like the fat wrestler triggered you so much that you think they are defending them
yes goy defend the big corporations from the scary fat british youtuber
He probably makes double that but considering he likely consumes 5-6 times an ordinary human (you'd literally have to to maintain his weight) he honestly probably blows 60% of it between that and his enormous wife. Couple his undoubtedly gargantuan medical care for himself and his wife and I wouldn't be surprised if he were actually close to impoverished.
I don't really even care about his persona, I think it's funny. But he's a cuck, seems to want Anita and her ilk to step on him, and his politics are just cancer.
Corporate taxes are unethical and should be zero. The company owners and employees already get taxed on their income, so why should it be taxed again? Literally double taxation.
>he doesn't want to worship Anita's smooth soles
Grow up
Yeah he sells merch, but he doesn't monetize any YouTube videos. He's the dude who came up with the concept of Copyright Deadlock. Companies would claim his videos to monetize them, he doesn't like his videos being monetized at all, and especially doesn't like the money going to companies he criticizes, so he splices clips from various companies that got his videos claimed in the past, and with the way YouTube works, if more than one company claims a video then nobody get's the revenue from it.

Actual kike
I used to like his content but then he started to sneakily inject his own politics into his persona. It's always the ugly fatties with the niche fetishes to.
In terms of his actual politics, there is probably no one worse in vidya-journalism than Jim. At the same time, there has been no journalist as consistent in pointing out the immoral, unethical, legally dubious, or downright corrupt practices of major gaming publishers and studios.
When in 1960, a CEO made x10 the income of their top employees, productivity was the same. With automation and technology making productivity and profits even easier to generate, CEO's now make 400 to 500 times the income of their top employees. Jim is a great example of a person you can hate every waking moment of the day and yet still agree with their observations on videogames.
Again he's attacking the annoying videos not the subject behind the video. If a pedo attacked gearbox and I said that the pedo is a cringey nonce is that me defending gearbox? How is this a hard concept.
Here I thought pushing the ideology of communism made somebody a commie. Thank you for re-educating me.
And you're a fucking moron if you think anyone was paying 90%. The effective tax rate was 36-40%
Yes because Billionaires are so famously healthy and virile and definitely don't overindulge in dumb shit
Doesn't matter who shits on Gearbox, the more they are shit on, the better. Saying otherwise implies that you don't want them to be shit on as much.
Of you’re talking about a ceo or small group at the top having nearly all the money going to them, I personally hate it but I wouldn’t put a cap on it. If anything there should be a relative wage of some kind that won’t let an owner make X amount unless their employees are making a minimum of Y amount.
This fat fuck was more or less bearable 3 years ago when he actually exposed some shit happening in the industry like the situation surrounding Deus Ex MD. Nowadays he is so repetitive you can accurately predict the content of his video before even opening it.
Surely if you're a billionaire you'd hire a full time personal trainer and nutritionist
The 50's
You mean every decade since The US was founded?
>I stopped watching his videos because they are shit
>I literally want the fat wrestler to stop making videos
Do you see these two statements as the same?
BORN DIFFERENT
You'd assume that, wouldn't you?
I imagine a lot of them just fire them after the third groping doesn't work.
I find it hard to trust people who can't control their weight and can't grow facial hair.
That isn't the argument though. The argument is that he tuned out after Jim was making "countless Gearbox videos". That would imply he would want other content and that he doesn't find any appeal in watching videos of Gearbox being shit on.
I would then find this person a fucking retard with shit taste because watching Gearbox, the company that Randy Pitchford has majority ownership in, getting shit on is great entertainment.
Again you could hire a full time prozzy to release their urges on... Maybe I'm too poor to think like a real billionaire
Why do you care? You're a broke-ass NEET.
>taxfoundation.org
You're correct but the danger of falling into such a high tax bracket required the wealthy to distribute their profits and obfuscate their worth more effectively causing a greater distribution of wealth among the general population. Instead of today where they can hoard hundreds of billions of dollars, underplay their workers, outsource to third world shitholes, and say "fuck you what are you gonna do about it?"

Your just showing how obsessed you are with hating gearbox by saying that if someone doesn't like videos about them it means they like gearbox. Which is not the case. You're clearly too much of a brainlet to understand.
If someone passively makes money faster than they can reasonably spend then yes.
>raise taxes on the rich
>the rich leave the country
>people take their place and become rich
>no jobs are lost
>t. Brainlet who thinks he's smart enough to run a multimillion company
If you don't like criticism of a topic, and you don't wish to see more of that criticism. Then you are implicitly defending the target of criticism.
Let's plug format into the argument at hand: He doesn't like criticism of Gearbox, and doesn't wish to see more of Jim's criticism of Gearbox (as he "tunes out" when exposed to it). The effective result of this is that he is defending Gearbox from criticism by not wishing for more of it.
Don't be so hard on yourself!
Why aren't you a billionaire right now?
He's right on pretty much all issues, but he's physically repulsive and has a grating sense of humour.

What's intellectual property protection? Why isn't Brazil making a Nintendo alternative after they pulled out?
Jim is based. Triggers the dumbest of the dumb on the regular. No, you're not intelligent or knowledgeable because you graduated high school and have been unemployed ever since. Yes, multibillion dollar companies should be taxed more. No, they wouldn't leave the fucking country for the imaginary tax-haven country.
I'm waiting for the tax increase so I can take Jeff's spot after he leaves the country.
This is an interesting point actually. One of the biggest obstacles to the fabled “free market” is the difficulty to compete against the established monopolies. So if anything, “persecuting” the rich would actually be more libertarian than just letting them be.
Ironic
I could take him seriously if he didnt get crowd funding and wasnt richer than 80% of the US
>Yes, multibillion dollar companies should be taxed more. No, they wouldn't leave the fucking country for the imaginary tax-haven country.
>Today Nintendo announced its intention to pull out of the Brazilian market. This means Nintendo will no longer offer its game consoles, handhelds or video games in the region, which means fans of the games will need to import them themselves from another region. Nintendo cites the reasoning as high taxes, but it’s a myriad of problems.
nintendotoday.com
Just watched one of his videos for the first time.
Aside from his opinions and the horrible presentation, I don't understand how anybody can stand the sound of his voice, it's just such an unpleasant sound.
I stopped watching when he started playing with dildos in his videos.
>fat socialist borderline communist
Is there anything more ironic?
Sterling is a fat hack. Go watch his PSVR vid that was gifted to him by sony. He doesn't say a single negative thing while repeating it was gifted. The fat hack was bought for the price of a piece of hardware.

Big brain moves
Why would they abandon an entire country worth of branches because they had to move?
That's one of the most retarded business moves I've ever heard.
This. It's the same reason why I can't stomach any of Matt's videos and some SBFP vids. They have incredibly grating voices.
Oh shut the fuck up, you whining tranny loving faggot. Sterling is as far from based as a person can get.
It really is
how dare the man criticize irl cartoon supervillains! grrr!
Doesn't take a genius to figure out that the invisible hand of the free market would fill in for the demand, man.
You are a retard that pretends to two economics. The term trickle down is literally an invented term of the left for “other man bad, me good”. There isn’t any book on economics that references it. You fucking tool.

This is beyond cucked, why the fuck would you tax domestic companies more?
Are you kidding me? China's one of the biggest markets out there and people bend over backward for that shit. I had no idea people who knew things about running a business parrot talking points like a 14-year-old redditor.

He's a commiefaggot. Natsoc is the patrician anti-capitalist ideology
not him but I don't understand the whole fuss about wealth inequality in the first place. is it morally wrong just to have much more wealth than other people? it's not like a CEO is robbing his workers, he's just paying them less than he could. if the workers didn't consent to this, they wouldn't have taken the job, right? what's wrong with the situation? do you guys think it's sinful to hoard wealth, like Christians do?
People nowadays even take someone that literally roleplays as a puppet in reviews seriously.
I'm just as confused and baffled as you are.

This is international business 101. The only reason the entirety of the greedy jews in the US haven't already moved wholesale to China is the unstable political situation where they might just decide to seize their businesses and foreign capital at any moment.
Then they all flood into a red area, dye it blue, and move onto their next victim.
Most gamedev being here "because of passion" are the reason they get exploited in the first place.

>wants the state to dictate every part of his life
i am not a CEO and neither are you
China is a pretty huge exception to have though. One of the most hostile states towards foreign economic rivals but somehow foreign big business is drawn to it. China should be your ultimate example here.
And yet no one points out the irony of him getting pissy when he was blacklisted and demonetized for using licensed music/fclips and begged for patreon donations.
It's a huge exception because the profits are determined by consumption and China has 1.3 billion consumers. Foreign companies don't care about how restricted their media is or whatever retarded marxist policies are forced on their population, they only care about profit.
Who's this fat fuck?
Whats happened is China invited tech firms in offering lower production costs, copied all their tech and now can out produce and undercut the west in all things.
The only thing stopping China from obliterating the global economy is world trade bodies blocking IP infringing products from global sale.
Its really quite hilarious. The prime example is Chinese reverse engineered CPUs getting black listed as patent breaching security threats, yet they are set to dominate the smart phone world. and want to push them for desktop use. by 2025

Exactly my point, entire countries are too broad of a market to lose. I never said it was about Marxism or morals, they've made it intentionally difficult for foreign companies but they don't just drop China because of how profitable of a market they are.

JJ Rousseau ("the father of Socialism") postulated the idea that private property led to political inequality (which he held opposed to "natural inequality") in his Discourse on Inequality. Marx took that a step further by concocting a system of inequality and outlining a good guy/bad guy dichotomy. By the way, Marx's definition of capitalism (and his terms associated with it) is intentionally different from any textbook definition. He defined it as a system consisting of a working class who were exploited by a master class. That's the only thing required to be capitalist according to Marx. Capitalism has nothing to do with free markets or anything that springs to mind when you form a concept of capitalism, according to his (il)logic (i.e. there's no difference from capitalism and mercantilism or feudalism or corporate capitalism or plain old slavery or etc etc). This has ensured that capitalists and commies have been arguing past each other (against and in favor of different concepts) for over a century now.

It's okay when liberals do it because the irony is more apparent. A conservative ranting about black crime stats and food stamps who uses the nigger word is seen as more hateful as they aren't traditionally supportive of black issues.

There's nothing ironic about it, liberals are no longer counter culture so they try really hard to be edgy, but without allowing themselves to use "problematic" words. It's one of the main reasons why so many teenagers are becoming right leaning.
The person political background shouldn't even matter, only the context in which the word is used.

Based as fuck
If people are fucking stupid enough to buy AAA shit and even more stupid to fall for cosmetic/micro trans/lootbox shit they deserve to be robbed and Todd deserves his funbucks. It just sucks that its dragging the gaming industry into oblivion.
Gigabillionaires at least create jobs, Jim just earns for himself.
the only real problem is that the Billionaires get to buy favors and escape taxes because they've bought the government itself.
take that away from them and everything would be alot better.
In context, the worst I hear from liberals is from comedians. In context the worst I hear is from people who don't see blacks as people and openly express real hatred.
>but without allowing themselves to use "problematic" words.
That's wrong though. The wording more often gets used ironically than a conservative who actually harbours resentment. Not saying liberals are perfect and beyond that, but more often their actions show they believe in concepts like privilege and systemic racism, rather than a conservative who would work to deny those concepts.
>one of the main reasons
That's fucking sad if true, but it probably has more to do with immigration and demographic shift.
>The person political background shouldn't even matter, only the context in which the word is used.
That's part of the context though.
they don't pay those anyways, or really income tax.
the biggest problem with our current system is that the uber rich escape paying moderate taxes due to a billion loopholes, but regular people and moderately wealthy people get utterly reamed, because that's where the real tax revenue is from.
Captalism is great, until its crony capitalism, and because we have that, now all the retarded commies come out of the woodwork, screaming that the only solution is full on socialism.
oh he's smart, and funny, but he's still a fucking Commie.
despite living fat off capitalism and would never survive Socialism (or be allowed to live, both because he's fat, and because he's a politically minded outspoken Socalist, the post-revolutionary leadership kill those first)
agreed, he's right to point out all that shit, but he's wrong about the answer, it isn't fucking Communism.
what is it with Brits and Commie shit? eh, I can't throw too many stones, with all the "hip" Socalists popping up in America now.
the monopolies right now only exist due to government intervention.
the freemarket sure as fuck isn't perfect, but the government strangling it in the interests of the financial elites is the problem.
He gambles away patreon money while whining about lootboxes for a living. If that's not based, i don't know what is.
Small business can't compete with the scale and scope of the monopolies. You can say that it's now too late because of government and try to make that argument, but just try out doing the big tech companies in your garage and see how far you get without government protection of your intellectual property.
its a moralistic Lefty talking point, they don't talk about Poor/Rich anymore, because even the Poor live like kings compared to yesteryear, now its Amoral to have more.
once your past 70,000 dollars a year anything beyond that is irrelevant, it doesn't matter if you make trillion a year, "Wealth Inequality" is such an idiotic talking point, yet it presists, because Bernie either really believes that wealth is a zero sum game (when we live in a time of literal money from nothing, Fed Reserve shit) or just uses it as a cudgel.
It persists because wages haven't gone up in decades and people are having trouble keeping their housing. Millenials are slated to be doing worse than their parents, live more often paycheck to paycheck, and everyone is struggling to get paid more than $16/he for non-burger flipping work. Add to that how much a hospital costs, everyone's lives can be fucking ruined by a loved one needing medical attention. It's getting worse for everyone else while the wealth concentrate more in a lower percentage.
that's why it pays to be poor and not middle class, at least in america.
money still isn't a zero sum game, the elites get paid more, but this doesn't mean they also couldn't just pay everyone else more too.
they just won't do that, because they don't have to, because workers gave up all of their leverage.
once women entered the workforce and the population rose, it was over, the working population is so massive that companies never have to pay out any real money for the average person.
Lefty types fail to realize this, they think that all the money that could go to the lower class is being sucked up by the Elites.
no, they just are NOT paying the lower class more because they have no incentive to do so, they don't need the average worker now, the average worker needs them.
>>no, they just are NOT paying the lower class more because they have no incentive to do so, they don't need the average worker now, the average worker needs them.
where are they going to go when the average worker can't buy their shit? America is the only country where they can get away with that bullshit, unless they want to kiss China's ass. Any other western country will fuck them dry.
they just change marketing.
Apple did it, they simply make their products for the middle class.
they sell people a thousand dollar peice of aluminium that holds your monitor up, with zero technology in it whatsoever.
so if THAT is something that is marketable, then you are a long way off from people "not being able to afford the product".
this is you being a retard, they don't need them, they don't even need them to buy their shit.
they'll just produce more and more expensive shit and market it appropriately, the lower class people who can't afford it will literally go without in other areas to get it.
your ass doesn't even think about say... inner city niggers, who can't afford to buy anything more pricy than chicken.. walking around in thousand dollar shoes, driving in cards with 6,000 dollar rims, and wearing hats that cost 200 dollars easy.
that is the extent the "retarded poor" will go to buy shit.
By the way millenials are killing industries, it sounds like they need to make sure people can buy shit. Those jobs were still there, those workers were always competitive, having a bigger workforce gives them incentive to undercut workers for sure, but that's what the idea of regulated wages kicked in in the first place.
Literally no one thinks wealth inequality is bad. It's the increasing degree to which it's unequal that's the problem. The profits of the wealthy have steadily and dramatically been increasing while wages have been stagnating since the 80s. Wages are not keeping up with inflation resulting in more and more people no longer making a livable wage.
regulated wages haven't ever helped, inflation due to Federal reserve fucking us in the ass (since we are off the gold standard, and money is just debt now) will always outrace it.
its a pointless stopgap, the minimum wage is a literal hindrance on workers, it doesn't help them at all, if anything it takes away any leverage the lower class could wield.
You're arguing in favour of a feudalistic commie system where the government caters to the whims of the largest entity around in order to crush competition you fucking idiot
these are seperate issues, wealthy making more and more money isn't tied to the lower wages stagnating.
they are stagnating for a separate reason, and that reason is simple, the workers now lack any sort of leverage over employers whatsoever.
now that money is just debt, its irrelevant how much the elites make, Bill Gates raking it in isn't why Pedro's wages aren't going up.
>BOTHSAME
Centrist cuck.
>>I get to dictate how much money is "too much" for one man to have
Well how much is too much? After a certain point your quality life stops increasing - and from there we can deduce that it would better for them to "share" the wealth before we starting eating the rich.
>they think that all the money that could go to the lower class is being sucked up by the Elites.
It quite literally is though. Every year a smaller number of people hold a greater percentage of the wealth in the country, income of CEOs has gone from around 30x the average employee to hundreds if not thousands of times the average, and all these tax breaks for the rich are doing nothing but letting the rich keep more of their money, which they use to reinvest in stock buybacks instead of higher wages or more jobs.
>capitalism being the root of everything bad that happens in the videogame industry doesn't exist.
Yes, I too remember that time when giant corporations made good games like our beloved classics like Doom, M&M, and Ultima.
share it with who?
I'd also love to hear a number here, almost anything you could say is going to be hilarious.
have sex
"that money" will never, and would never be sent to the lower class and their wages.
wages are dictated by supply and demand, just like everything else, the lower end now have even less leverage or demand than ever.
so wages will stagnate, and with the swelling of population, that will continue.
wages don't go up because its a moral imperative, minimum wage withstanding (which hasn't really helped anyone, so I'd hardly call it moral)
dilate
>wealthy making more and more money isn't tied to the lower wages stagnating.
It is when they aren't reinvesting their increased wealth into the job market
money.usnews.com
nothing about what you are saying is arguing against the fact that lower class people and their wages are stagnating because they lack any demand or leverage.
there isn't any reason to pay them more other than "muh morals".
this is the retarded arguement every Lefty makes, they can never even begin to approach the problem of "WHY should we pay them more" beyond "because its right".
>all these kvetching replies
you did good this day
BORN KEKOLDED
why would they have to invest that money into wages? whats the imperative?, the demand?
it doesn't exist, there has to be a reason, you can't just point to that money and say "why aren't you upping wages with it", because the answer is "why should we?"
no one's going to unionize or strike anymore, workers simply ACCEPT it and continue on, they have no fight in them, and even if they did, someone else WILL do that job for that wage.
so that is EXACTLY what the job is worth, the real problem is the massive lower class population, until you can figure out a solution to THAT beyond genocide, fuck off.
>Well how much is too much? After a certain point your quality life stops increasing
the data points to 75k usd or something
above that line, people don't suddenly work harder, smarter or faster.
and the CEOs of the world are actually paid that in cash, their 'value' is in stock which isn't money
you should pay people more so they can actually afford to have kids and society doesn't collapse.
>they can never even begin to approach the problem of "WHY should we pay them more" beyond "because its right".
Because the economy is unsustainable when NO ONE MAKES ENOUGH TO LIVE OFF OF. Just because you're too ignorant to listen to opposing arguments doesn't mean they don't exist
that's for the hippies to worry about, Businesses do not exist to worry about society.
its supply and demand, and PR, all the way.
what's the business reason they have to? moralistic shit is pointless, you can never give enough for the Lefties, so there is zero incentives for them to do so.
That's why you don't listen to morons like him. So why are you?
>what's the business reason they have to?
because their business would collapse along with society?
>actually, the corporations who have raped to death the medium we love are good
>be thankful for your gruel, serf
I hope you die of AIDS
Then what's the motivation to invest money on anything after you reach the cap? If there's no profit past a certain arbitrary limit then people that reach it would stop giving a shit. Nobody's retarded enough to invest serious money for a measly 75k profit, it stumps the market growth and prevents big projects from being started.
Centrist is better, at least we get to fight corporate greed with a full stomach and free of intestinal parasites.
Venezuela and North Kore isn't too lucky.
this is an irrelevant problem to the business, they aren't philosophers or hippies, it isn't their job to wax poetically about the woes of the lower class.
you have to make a demand, with leverage, to make them pay.
telling people "you should" without an actual position of power is pointless, I should do alot of things, fucking make me do them.

what did he do this time
Activision literally had a mass firing recently despite Overwatch making them shittons of money.
means you were always expendable, it means your job was functionally worthless, it means you lacked any real leverage or function.
some 60% of all jobs now are make-work jobs, they don't matter, they exist only due to HR and other factors floating them.
I have 3 people at my grocer job who I've never actually seen work, and yes, they aren't white.
Jim is one of the only honest motherfuckers in vidya JURRRRNALIZM, and he's a force for good
If you dislike him, it's either because you're shallow ("He's a fag! He weighs 900lns!") or because you got infected with the /pol/-antiSJW brainworms into thinking capitalism is a smaller threat to civilization and culture than, say, otherkin pansexual furries
oh noes, big projects and profit won't be had, you're just have a nice house, car and plenty of food.
wont someone think of the economy?
this means they have leverage, these aren't minimum wage jobs regardless.
your "average worker" has none, they aren't really that useful, Pedro will do it for less if he could.
That's a weird concept. "If you get what you want you won't have leverage". Sounds more like it'll shut them the fuck up.

But then, if there were eugenic laws maybe we'll be the first to bite the bullet too since the average user is ugly as sin?
>More skilled and talented people will want to work for them for one thing.
The skilled and talented should learn how to make a game themselves then.
Seriously, though. Who cares what it's called?
If tax cuts + deregulation were called "fagballs economic policy", it would still refer to the same concept. Why argue semantics when you can argue policy?
It sucks that the difference between a parasite and a job creator is how much wealth they hold. While it's true someone born into wealth isn't guaranteed to keep it, they still stand a better chance than someone born poor.

Besides, U.S. intel agencies and police have murdered tons of people before as well. Ever heard of Fred Hampton?
He made the same mistake MovieBob did where they thought any gave an actual fuck about them outside of their content. I honestly didn't mind listening to either of them in the past, they came across as reasonable and SOMETIMES insightful. However, because of the way they plaster their image on social media and now in their content, its tainted them.
On a side note, I've noticed Yahtzee has begun doing this, granted he had a good 7 or 8 year run before he did. Those E3 videos he did with the Escapist made me realise what a insecure wreck he actually is.
communist jews control the government lmao
R*agan didn't deregulate shit. Republishits haven't substantially decreased the size of government since 1920s. And thank to women's suffrage it's never going to happen either.
If Reagans muh capitalism talk wasn't just talk he'd end the fed and fiat currency, end the wars, end drug prohibiyion, end social security and public educaction and cut down as much shit and taxes as possible.
Reducing taxes a little ain't shit.
If communists run the government and corporations, why aren't we living under communism right now, dipshit?
The US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation. Counting wars, military attacks and foreign occupations, there have actually only been five years of peace in US history: 1976, the last year of the Gerald Ford administration and 1977-80, the entirety of Carter’s presidency.
How do you get by in life being this fucking stupid?
It comes from the ideal that the State is there to provide for the people. Maybe in some Scandinavian/Swiss utopia sure, but most governments are corrupt and fully of lobbyists.

Not so. It is there to follow the will of the majority. So if you're a minority, unless you have significant numbers, too bad.
oh yea, /pol/ is right up there with fucking Stalin, tell me about it.
trying to downplay the Socialist nightmare events is retarded, no evil commited by America could even begin to scale to the Orwellian shit Stalin enacted.
the fucking insane show-trials of his political "enemies" (really just people he feared) with coerced testemonials on the auspice that their families would be killed if they didn't were the cherry on top, sure not as glitzy as the millions of bodies, but to me the trials were the best.
then, after the trial and the person was executed, he'd kill their families or send them to Siberia anyway (which is just a slower way of killing them)

A republic is accountable to the people, a corporation isn't. Corporations are like empires without borders, they can go where they need to without having to answer to anyone but investors, and there will always be investors who only care about profit no matter what the consequences are, unless they're lied to about how much money they'll be making or losing.

I wonder what kind of shitty upbringing you have to have lived to develop such a spiteful mentality.
I think what he's getting at here is good luck getting any of that government intervention to work for you as a small startup.
Essentially, what happened is the companies started to pull in large profits and then something would happen that would risk their ability to keep those massive profits. Not ruin them completely, mind you, unless what they were doing wasn't exactly ethical to begin with, but just something that would keep a rich company from getting exponentially richer. Because they are a rich company, they can take their money to rich government officials willing to agree with them (because it would make them BOTH more money) and thus the government enacts rules and regulations that benefit the big guys because those big guys helped put them where they are or otherwise just help line their pockets.
Government intervention is the reason monopolies exist but it's because it was intervention driven by a government that is in the pockets of those monopolies. Government intervention is only bad when the intervening government is corrupt and only acting out of self interest of those that run it.
Protection of intellectual properties is certainly a good thing but the issue is that monopolies have the money to strong arm everything to rule in their favor. Even if you DO manage to come up with your own competitive yet distinct IP, they have the money to get away with suing you for theft or stealing it themselves and beating you to production and you can't do shit because they have more resources and important people in their corner than you.
no, its simply a fact of life, the 80/20 rule is everywhere.

Monopoly is the eventual state of unchecked capitalism. You could argue that there could never be a lemonade monopoly because any idiot can squeeze a lemon, but it's not regulation's fault they don't have the extra money required to advertise and distribute, not to mention the contracts with store chains that say "you will only carry our beverages". In the end, there isn't much difference beyond the lack of responsibility and regulation keeping rat shit and disease out of your loved ones.

When you put the resources on the hands of a "centralized power" who would choose where to invest it for the "greater good of the people and nation", they would hardly shove then into individual antisocial fun like videogames. Videogames, streaming platforms, and pretty much most of the entertainment industry would be cutted off and replaced by propaganda pretending to be entertainment, like state approved screenplays and movies. Those things don't generate more outcome, and don't generate anything tangible to justify the investment, unlike the propaganda driven content. Unless you are talking about sources of entertainment that can be done without high resources, like books and comics, you can say bye to it. Videogames are not on that cathegory.
Videogames are only possible under capitalist climate, just like most entertainment without short to mid term social pay-off.
Minor point here, but the Commie plan is :
>Seize the state
>Use the state to change things a fix shit
>Then dismantle the state and hand over power to the well educated, politically aware and organized people created in the process of fixing shit (rich folks rely on large populations of uneducated bootlickers fearful of change to remain in power)
Most of the totalitarianism is a result of the commies only really getting a foot hold in the war torn shitholes of the world and having to constantly fend off CIA plots to kill or overthrow them.
If the commies took power in the absurdly wealthy and untouched by war USA, aside from them cracking down on the home grown jihadist the rich have been funding, things would be pretty sweet.
I'd say Jim is more of a proto jew nazi like sweden has. Effectively the same thing though.
>propaganda pretending to be entertainment, like state approved screenplays and movies
Capitalist climate hasn't stopped these from thriving
That's why every unironic pro-commie here is actually a non-gamer, non-weeb trying to take your anime and games away, again.
>he can't into nuance
>we will one day let go off the power and dismantle the state, bro! Believe me! This will totally not be eternal totalitarianism!
How can people be so foolish. I put more trust into people who believe the earth is flat, than those who believe in comunism and anarco-capitalism. At least the earth flat people are smart enough to realize people naturally lie and are untrustworthy, and no amount of indoctrination will change that.
>communism is the government doing anything against corporate interests
How did this board become more politically illiterate than /pol/
Yeah but at least we live in a society where it trives along with these.
Ever since the acceptance of the slippery slope fallacy.
And never will. The point is that under communism that would be the only shit available. The thought patern is simple: Can you do it alone, or maybe with just a handful of friends investing occasional time, and resources that you can get for other means? Then it is possible. Books, comics, political charges, none of those require extensive funding. Do you need costly funding and material, or people working full time on it? Then it is not possible under communism. Videogames and animes fall here.
True communists would call out those who put so much value into costly shallow entertainment. People who say videogames and animes would exist under communism fall in only those two cathegories:
1) People that are lying, to fool imbeciles into supporting his shit.
2) Dumb idiots who fell into the treachery of the first group, and are too retarded to realize.
The USSR had a nation wide vote about dissolution in 1991, 77% voted against breaking up the USSR. Then the USSR broke up in a tidal wave of political bullshit and suspicious deals with the Americans.
Thats a pretty odd thing for a totalitarian dictatorship with no intent to ever surrender power to do.
It's not trickle down. It's flood down.
lmao
>political bullshit and suspicious deals
Funny way to say it was not of their own volition. You got the deal, retard. The group in power would never let go of it if they had the power to maintain it, and no nation without government would remain peaceful until the first jackass shat up on your house.
You are more imbecile that people who believe in heaven. At least they have an excuse for all the problems and conflict that comes naturally when humans interact with each other just suddenly disappearing.
Jim is a full on commie faggot
Who fucking cares about Randy Pitchford
The rich leave the country
Their companies, don't.
Jim Sterling is:
>fat
>british
>cuck
>leftie
I can take one of then at the same time, maybe 2, but 4 is just too much. I am not giving him any views.
>Degenerate
You sound like somebody who defends censorship if appeals to your political views.
And there is good enough reason to go into panic mode, because games aren't censored on a whim, that means that Sony changed their policies to a degree that in the future will affect a lot more tittles. Until now Sony was viewed as the "best option for those who like weeb games", and that sudden betrayal means a terrible future to those who like those games. THey went so far as to reject a product EVEN NINTENDO, who is widely know for being heavy handed about this stuff didn't reject, only made it as DLC.
Yeah, those are liquidated and they just leave with all the cash and means of production with them.
slippery slope while real is used incorrectly often as a weapon against people with legitimate concerns, and evidence
This is one of few examples of the slope fallacy
But if they did not have the power to maintain their control, could not a well organized people overthrow the corrupt and size power?
>Do you need costly funding and material, or people working full time on it? Then it is not possible under communism.
Not to defend communism here but how do you think they made it to space
So kill them
Video game online communities attract some of the lowest IQ posters on the internet. This is true of all websites, not just Yea Forums.
>kill the rich
>even the ones who are poor before but became rich through hard work
Your kind are the ones who makes communism fail.
>Good
This actually goes for any community that allows free speeh, you get low IQ opinions and Galaxy brain ideas in the same package. Isn't free speech great.
No it doesn't. Specifically video game forums and boards attract low IQ posters morseo than other forums.
Yes, and the power would just trade hands. Other people, same history.
My country had a military coup and sub sequential regime in 1964, that lasted for two decades. There was no revolution, overthrow of powers, of people beheaded to end their regime, they peacefully let go of the power to give doors to a democratic republic. Does it mean people would just let go of the power by their own volition? No, they did it because at some point they realized it was unsustainable, and not making a peaceful transition would cause even more unrest and chaos. If there were no outside powers pushing for democracy they would stay there forever, with outside cooperation disappearing because nobody wants to fund your regime.
Humans are not sweethearts, and don't matter how much you have success into brainwashing an entire generation, in two decades a new one will arise, with the same classic natural wish to repel the concepts of the previous one. You look at people and you see ants, bees, that's why you believe in this fairy tale bullshit. The matter of fact is that humans can't be controlled down to that level, just like any mammal, humans are only social creatures to the point it benefits than and their peers, in the moment society goes against their personal interests, they flip. It's just their nature. Go out and talk to people, you will realize that it's impossible to force everyone to do what you want, and some people are just naturally prone to not cooperate.
The only way you become a billionaire is through vast family connections and wealth. And if you support that then you don't support true free market capitalism you support a fucking aristocracy.
No it's not. You can incorporate small parts and good ideas from all over the political spectrum because government is made up of all sorts of ideas and small parts. It's not some abstract thing on a graph people can't even agree what left and right mean, it's real through people making real policies.
High school mentality.I don't give a fuck what he looks like retard
You literally sound like the Joker. We really do live in a society huh?
Which is better than the tax rate being 30-40% and the effective tax rate being around 0.
The rich are parasites and if you want them to pay their fair share, you need to demand they pay a wildly unfair share.
>don't tax the rich
>rich cut jobs and corners and legal protections to raise personal profits
>millions lose jobs
>this is somehow better
I've been watching some Wha Happun?, and Matt's annoying. He thinks he's a lot funnier than he is, and if he writes his own scripts on those things he needs a good slap from an editor who knows that sounding smug isn't a good thing.
>We really do live in a society huh?
Normalfags do.
Nerds and incels don't.
