http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com https://www.thejimporium.com Capcom has decided to embarrass Street Fighter V with ads, or "sponsored content" as they're calling it. Today, let's talk about that, give a brief history of product placement and ads in games, before having a bit of a whinge about the potential future of ad-support videogame garbage. #StreetFighter #Capcom #Ads #Jimquisition #JimSterling __ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jimsterling Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimsterling0 Jim’s Big Ego (No Relation): http://bigego.com/ Bandcamp of the Sax Dragon - https://carlcatron.bandcamp.com Nathan Hanover - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-8L7n7l11PJM6FFcI6Ju8A

http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com https://www.thejimporium.com Videogame publishers are greedy, exploitative predators for which no amount of money will ever be enough. While we know and loathe this, it is also by design that they are the way they are. Layoffs, cutbacks, excessive monetization, it's all part of a system built on unsustainable, short-sighted growth. Now we're in the endgame, where we find out there IS no endgame.

Games Should Not Cost $60 Anymore (The Jimquisition)
http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com http://sharkrobot.com/collections/Jimquisition-merch There is a constant problem plaguing the game industry, if its spokespeople are to be believed. Games cost $60, and that price doesn't work anymore! Weirdly enough, The Jimquisition agrees with this assessment. "AAA" games should indeed not cost $60 anymore, and they most certainly have outgrown it. Loot Box Spiderhead in thumbnail by the talented Jude White!

http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.thejimquisition.com http://sharkrobot.com/collections/Jimquisition-merch I'm often told that videogames have be a mess of greed-fueled bollocks because the $60 price tag never raised along with inflation. This is crap. It's a myth. Games stopped costing $60 a long time ago. __ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jimsterling Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimsterling0 Bandcamp of the Sax Dragon - https://carlcatron.bandcamp.com

http://www.patreon.com/jimquisition http://www.twitch.tv/jimsterling Even though it never surprises me, it always disappoints me to see games media pundits fall over themselves to repeat corporate propaganda in defense of corporate garbage. The arrival of the PS5 and Xbox Series X has been used as an excuse to finally raise game prices... after years of using fixed game prices as an excuse to fill their games with predatory monetization. I wonder how they'll justify their microtransactions now! At any rate, the obligatory chorus of apologists are backing up the decision with one heck of an argument. The exact same argument they've been using to justify publisher nastiness for years and years and years. #PS5 #XboxSeriesX #AAA #NextGen #Money #DemonsSouls #COD #Activision #Ubisoft #GameJournalism #JimSterling #Jimquisition __ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jimsterling Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimsterling0 Bandcamp of the Sax Dragon - https://carlcatron.bandcamp.com Nathan Hanover - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-8L7n7l11PJM6FFcI6Ju8A

Games frequently portray extreme versions of bodies, especially female ones, that don't represent this wide audience. Games like Dragon's Crown, Dead or Alive, and Bayonetta are standout examples of this trend, but the way it has spread through almost all games is troubling. Is it sexism? Game design? Both? Join Jamin in this week's episode of Game/Show as he asks why do games have such exaggerated body types?

The Lady Sidekick - Tropes vs. Women in Video Games
The Lady Sidekick - Tropes vs. Women in Video Games
This episode examines how female sidekicks and companions in games are often designed to function as glorified gatekeepers, helpless burdens, and ego boosters, a pattern that works to reinforce oppressive notions about women as the ones in need of protection and men as the ones in control, who take action and do the protecting. We then feature some games with relationships that subvert traditional power fantasy mechanics, putting players on something closer to equal footing with their AI companions as they offer examples of what real communication, compromise, and mutual support in games might look like. Full transcript for this episode: http://wp.me/p7K8cI-aLy ABOUT THE SERIES The Tropes vs Women in Video Games project aims to examine the plot devices and patterns most often associated with female characters in gaming from a systemic, big picture perspective.

Damsel in Distress: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games
Damsel in Distress: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games
This video explores how the Damsel in Distress became one of the most widely used gendered clichés in the history of gaming and why the trope has been core to the popularization and development of the medium itself. As a trope the Damsel in Distress is a plot device in which a female character is placed in a perilous situation from which she cannot escape on her own and must then be rescued by a male character, usually providing a core incentive or motivation for the protagonist's quest.

It's happened to all of us at least once. A game that we might have loved suddenly disappears (or is patched out). There's no way to access it or find it... except through roms. That's okay. You bought it once right? That means it's yours! Weeellll... The legal grounds of ownership can get trickier than you might expect, especially as more and more of our media becomes digital exclusive.

When a game comes out, blame or praise often falls on the one person we think of as its "auteur," the lone visionary who directed its creation.

In Defense of Short Games - Worth Every Dollar - Extra Credits
Games can be only two or three hours long and still be worth every dollar charged for them. Stretching out playtime to meet an arbitrary goal doesn't make the game any better, but it would force developers to go over budget. Kneejerk reactions too often cause short games to get bad reviews even when they deliver on an excellent experience.

The Copyright Dilemma - On Trademarks, Copyrights, and Patents - Extra Credits
Trademark and copyright play important roles in the gaming industry. The need to defend trademarks has spurred many companies to undertake unpopular lawsuits. On the other hand, attempts to copyright or patent game designs have been rejected, which allows developers to incorporate new ideas into their own work but leaves them unprotected from clone games.

But actually, the role of game designer can mean a few different things, especially in bigger companies where people tend to specialize more. So which kind of game designer are you? Are you someone who dreams up worlds as a content designer? Draw out maps and place spawn points like a level designer? Balance numbers and spreadsheets as a systems designer? Or know how to combine nuanced elements to draw out a very specific feeling, like an experience designer? ___________ Support the people who make this show, vote for future Extra History topics and get great perks at our Patreon! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Subscribe & ! to our channel on YouTube at http://bit.ly/SubToEC Got more info about Extra Credits on our website at http://extracredits.site/ Grab your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://extracredits.store/ ___________ Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!
