So I just wanted to create a little Hub here. Mr Sterling has actually given Bloodstained a lot of personal coverage over the last year and I felt like having a little thread collecting the various interviews and videos he's done about the game, or at least included the game in his discussion, would be a good idea both so fans can see what he has to say about it, and just to give him some recognition for his efforts on IGA's behalf. And I know he wont see this himself but I just want to thank Mr Sterling for supporting Bloodstained so much, both via his personal financial contribution, and more importantly, his continued positive coverage. He has a substantial audience and him getting the word out is certainly helpful.
A word of warning regarding the videos for people who may not be familiar with him: Jim Sterling can be a little, shall we say, crass at times. I know we're all adults here and can handle a little dirty language but I feel compelled to mention this all the same, for politeness sake.
-Interview with IGA: Jim put this out last year during the campaign, and the Updates actually noted this as well. Its a pretty good read about IGA's insights into the industry and his hopes for the game.

-E3 Demo. As a backer, Mr. Sterling has uploaded a video of him playing the demo (as well as a funny little "apology" video for people pestering him about the lanterns). He even got lucky enough for Amy's shard to drop:
Also, several episodes of his primary series: The Jimquisition, have discussed Bloodstained and its implications and challenges at length. I'll post links to the most relevant episodes:
1. This episode was split mostly between Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee and discusses the surge of "beloved devs who left AAA to make the games publishers wont make anymore"
2.While this episode is primarily about Mighty No. 9, he still discusses Bloodstained (and Yooka Laylee) a great deal later in the video. Primarily in regards to the, lets be diplomatic, lackluster reception to MN9 and what that means for other big KS successes like Bloodstained. (There's also one of Jim's famous random Cold Opens here about a Gospel show, just skip it).
Several others mention the game, but his references are very brief and can be summed up as
-"I backed Bloodstained to spite Konami and help one of their best developers get away from them"
-"Bloodstained is an example of a good campaign due to how open and honest they were about the project as well as how solid their financial plan is."
If Mr Sterling gives Bloodstained any more significant coverage in the coming months I'll be sure to update this thread, and obviously that will include a review when the time comes.
