As news of Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate‘s microtransactions spreads, some folk roll their eyes at the usual pundits beating a dead horse and reiterating the same old outrage. This, friends, is how The Silence spreads.

The Silence is what publishers want. They keep their mouths shut and wait for their audience to get bored of the latest scandal. It’s an effective tactic, one that creates aggressive and infectious apathy. That apathy is then used to lash out at others who won’t “get over it” and continue to talk about scandalous antics.


So let’s talk about that, and the power noise has when it transcends that silence. Also, Jim has never heard of Jimsaw.

This is exactly why I donate to whatever depraved and vile plans you have for Patreon money. This industry needs a watchdog who won't cave to publishers or fanboys. Do whatever you want with the money. You earned it.

Proud to be a Patreon supporter! But I think you mean 'IN-dick content'…

Never change Jim, never change.

I don't mind when you bash bad Steam Greenlight games over and over and over and over and over, Jim… may I call you Jim? Too late… Anyways, I don't mind when you call out bullshit repeatedly, but there was this one time that I got pissed off. And it was when you interviewed those morons from Digital Homicide. I'm sick of these guys and it only interest me to know anything from them when they do some shit they need to be called on. It felt like you gave them some space for them to self promote themselves. That was a while ago though. Another thing that it's starting to get annoying, Jim, is those complaints about your Patreon money. If there's anyone complaining, just show them how they can unpatreon you. Because I, and most people here, don't care if you spend the money with mundane stuff like food and shelter, with action figures, with masks for Halloween, with hidden death traps to torture Capcom executives, with genetical engineering of gerbils to create an army of rodents to sabotage Konami's pachinco machines or with extra copies of Enya CDs to prank mail Jack Thompson. If anything, Jim, you're encouraged to do these stuff, as long as you record them and remember to hold the smartphone on landscape position while you do so. Keep up with your good work, Jim, and thank you for God.

Thanks for the feedback! I should point out that the Patreon cracks are *entirely* intended as goofs. It's not inspired by people actually complaining about Patreon, it's inspired by me dreaming up silly things for me to spend money on.

"Get over it" can not hold a candle to the always arrogantly dispensed: "Deal with it". -Yes, I *am* dealing with it, thank you; I.e. I'm trying to do something about it -- what *you* seem to be meaning, is: "bend over and take it.".

There was also a time where a certain Microsoft console was going to launch with always online drm and with Kinect required. It was that vocal outrage, and refusal to stop, that made Microsoft do it's 180. Saving, possibly, a system that could have launched DOA. So by all means, use my contributions to supply you with whatever blunt object you'd prefer to savagely beat whatever "dead horse" that tries to resurrect itself.
