If you're a customer, does it make sense to support stances that benefit you?

Jim generally makes sense with monetary issues. Social issues are kinda hit or miss at times.

Game devs are horribly overworked and unions would do them good.

Also fuck microtransactions.

government regulation? where the hell did you come up with that? closest i can think of is him wanting steam to manage their greenlight program better.

Generally.

Sometimes his videos are extremely one-sided or take things out of context though. I remember there being a lot of bullshit in his "Video game developers lie" video.

Sometimes he is harsher on certain companies than others as well. Such as criticizing the lead developer of Sea of Thieves for saying there's no lootboxes while praising the lead developer of Monster Hunter World for saying there's no lootboxes.

Jim's not exactly entirely pro consumer. He's a supporter of censorship and there's really no way to paint that as pro consumer. Though when it comes to microtransactions and stuff and like his stances are generally pretty logical. Though he can be a bit melodramatic about it.

Doesn't change that the examples he picked out were shitty and lacked context. It was just typical outrage bait. Which is an issue for a lot of YouTubers like Sterling. At a certain point they're not spreading information anymore. They're just feeding on an outrage culture to get people to watch.

Jim has no problems with developers making tons of money. His issue is that the ways they do it are deliberately anti-consumer. Selling you DLC that should've simply been in the game, loot boxes creating impossibly long progression systems if you don't buy in, etc

Hard to believe he's pro consumer when he has a history of calling gamers entitled.
