Multiversus Is Insidiously Dystopian (The Jimquisition)

And you thought this show couldn’t get filthier
The Art Of Being Awful (The Jimquisition)
Return to Monkey Island has a lot of fans excited, hooray! It also has plenty of others who are angry, because of course it does. It wouldn't be videogames without some utter rage. Also, Cammy's pants. Also midges.

Bloober Team Doesn't Deserve Silent Hill (The Jimquisition)
See Commander Sterling at the UK's first LGBTQ+ wrestling show: buytickets.at/pcw Bloober Team is rumored to be working on a new Silent Hill, possibly a Silent Hill 2 remake. Fans are upset. I believe that upset is understandable, because Bloober is a real problem.

Activision's "Diversity Tool" Is F*cking Awful (The Jimquisition)
Activision Blizzard recently crowed about a "diversity tool" that it claimed would avoid tokenism, even though it's nothing BUT tokenism. It did not, as the company doubtlessly hope, deflect all the bad publicity it's earned.
