The Fall and Rise of Real Gaming Journalists..(Giantbomb, Nextlander, Noclip, Game informer Plus non fanboy stuff)

Sucks. And I think every site bar IGN could suffer the same fate. Site made its money from subs as well and they still closed it down.
The subs didn't save Jess and Jason like they should have at GB all because someone up above wants to save a little more money.

Gits.

How's Gertzman doing with his pod? I haven't listened since last year I think... don't remember why I stopped, but I guess it got boring with only him on? Does he bring guests on now?
 
He's had 1 or 2 since it started but yeah mostly just him sadly which really makes it a hard listen for me.
 
He's on enough. Does a lot of retro gaming. He posts on social media occasionally. I guess it's enough to pay the bills.

I see a lot more of Vinnie, Alex and Brad. They teamed up with Patrick the other day.
 
Jeff said the ad revenue these sites relied on 5 years ago has pretty dried up thanks to Google and Facebook changing rules/blocking stuff hence lots of job losses.
It's why so many need patron now.

Sounds like Giantbomb is dead for sure. Fandom gutted it, but can't find anything substantial.

What is going on in gaming media? Either they are shutting down or being consolidated.

No one knows yet. They got told to be more PG-13 and spent the first 20 minutes of the bombcast s***ting on it before it was pulled.
Dan then criticised them for wanting to turn the channel into a guide only channel while daring them to fire him.

Jeff Grubb already announced he is no longer with Giantbomb and Minoti seems to be out also. Matter of time before the rest bounce. Dan for sure isn't going to stick with GB after his stream last night.
 
First chunk of the show is talking about last week and other s*** they had to deal with a few years back
