Blizzard Is Pathetic (The Jimquisition) Jim Sterling 2019-11-11 | http://www.patreon.com/jimquisitionhttp://www.thejimquisition.comthejimporium.comBlizzard went out of its way to make sure Blizzcon was marked by two major game announcements and sorrowful contrition. To anybody paying attention, it was really marked by insincerity and cowardice. The company is a big pile of toss, and no amount of Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2 will actually change that.

It's really, really bad. #Silent Hill #Konami #Microtransactions #MobileGame #Jimquisition #JimSterling #StephanieSterling #Games #Gaming #Videogames #Horror
