Attention: Giant Bomb isn't dead dead, but Brad, Vinny and Alex have announced that they're leaving at the end of the week. So while it's still around it's definitely won't be the same going forward. Jeff is signaling that it's not the end and there will be more to come.
there might be a non-compete exit clause in their contracts I guess, but they also must grapple with whether they still want to do video games talky show shit anymore
These thread titles (here and in G&T) are really breaking my ability to not start weeping in the middle of my office.
Sorry

i'm not going to cancel my subscription immediately, i'll stick around and see how things go, but i've been falling off for a little while, the new people brought me back in, then the new people left, now the old people are leaving, so let's see if there's any new new people

I think the realities of that are that if they want to continue doing that, they don't even need a website. They can make a podcast and run a twitch channel and/or a youtube channel, have a patreon, or something like that.
I don't necessarily think any of them go that route, personally.
Brad has been less forward facing for awhile, Vinny sort of fell into that role in a weird way, Alex I don't think would be comfortable doing it on his own.

I highly doubt it tbh. Even if, without Vinny, GB is dead anyway, at least to me.

Non-compete's are almost impossible to enforce unless you're the CxO of some company.

Whatever happens next, Vinny, Brad, and Alex leaving is not a minor change!
All this sewage, like sludge in the rain, a rain of more sludge
God bless you all
Fuck, what a miserable day

this is so, so sad
GB has been synonymous with video games for so long now, for me.
Sorry

but FUCK this sucks
Might have to get another external hard drive for that
Fire boylt!
Later Brad and Vinny. You knew humor when you saw it.
Surely working in game criticism would be better than engineering for equity and compensation and harassment and- ahahahahaha
No, seriously, someone hire me

Not gonna lie
now knowing it wasn't an accident breaks the magic of this one a little bit
I need to grab and finally watch the persona 4 run

I lost it when that was revealed - I think Jeff's commando-crawl setup for it enhances it
