Today's Jimquisition... The look on Your face at the beginning told it all I'm sure it's tiring but KEEP UP THE FIGHT!
Thank you, Steph. I just finished watching today's Jimquisition and I'm with you. The video game companies have killed my interest in video games. I just play a few games that are years old and not really interested in getting more. If it isn't the companies repulsing me, it's the game themselves. I need a new hobby.
WTB Mx Sterling’s take on the Activision lawsuit while they are hemmoraging players from World of Warcraft 😚
The lawsuit is civil, so the worst Activision-Blizzard will be hit with is a slap on the wrist fine. And, with as much time and money as players have invested into WoW, I'm sure that in 1-3 months, they'll be right back in WoW. In other words, absolutely nothing will have changed.
