The Jimquisition: Arkham Shite
Batman: Arkham Knight's shameful PC tale is one for the history books. A chaotic mess of controversy with some unprecedented situations, it's a masterclass in how exactly NOT to treat a PC version of a major game release.
It's a meaty story, and one worth recording. Let's pull apart the tangled web, and look at what happened. Thank God for Steam refunds, right?

This video really sums up why I'm happy to be a patron. (Particularly as a PC gamer.) I really appreciate your viewpoint, knowledge, and consumer-centric review policies.
I thank God for you Jim. I was pissed at PC Gamer for withholding their Batman review to give Warner Brothers the chance to release a better version of their PC Arkham Knight. To hear you say that you have put out a review for the exact opposite reason fills me with admiration to no end. I do not identify with Gamergate, but I certainly do feel that the gaming press is hopelessly corrupt and inept, and therefore I place my trust, and again thanks, in you, Jim Fucking Sterling... son!
Reviews are not for the company's sake! Reviews are for us the consumer, more to the point, consumers who aren't pre-order cattle who want to make sure we are gonna make a sound choice when we buy a product! And why would Jim review a version of the game that has been reviewed already by so many others? I commend Jim for what he does for us the gamers, and anyone who thinks he's doing a disservice by not bending over and kissing the developers asses can fuck off! Thank God, for Jim Fucking Sterling Son!
Yep, that was a divine ending.
God-dammit, I love you Jim!
"What in the FUCK is going on?" ~Jim I think they're all pissed at WB's nonsense, too. They're throwing themselves from a great height in protest! If we could hear what they were saying, it'd probably be "AHHHH~ Fuck you, Warner Bros! ~AHHHHhhhhh~ Thank GOD for Jim! ~ahhhhhhhhh.....~" *bounce*
Pfff, all the lectern characters are staging a revolt! A great episode, as per usual!
Considering I play on both PC and PS4 I'm glad you reviewed the PC version. Keep on keep'n on Jim.
Thanks for all your hard work, Jim.
