Honestly, yes. I echo so many of the thoughts expressed in this thread, but at the same time thinking about letting my subscription lapse seems completely strange to me. I have been following the core crew since probably 2004 or around that time, came over when Jeff got fired and it was just Arrow Pointing Down and subscribed since day one. Giant Bomb has been a huge part of my life through ups and downs, but honestly, I can't even tell you the last video I watched of theirs. I think the last Bombcast I heard was in May. Yet, I am still here.

I have felt like Giant Bomb was slipping away from me since the pandemic hit. Before that I still watched and listened, though less and less frequent. I don't enjoy the Twitch streaming format, and I agree with the others a big part of the reason I loved Giant Bomb was the in-studio content. Seeing Jeff being so vehemently against any one coming back, when other game channels like Funhaus have been going back into their office and improving their content immensely after not being forced online any more, I gotta be honest, it feels like the site is slowly losing all relevance. Seeing Kunakai's post they went rom 9 to 6 down to 3 or 5 employees in a year with no new hires really hit me. It makes me realize why Vinny, Alex and Brad left, whatever is going on at Giant Bomb is not sustainable and they still had things to say but couldn't. Maybe the site will morph into something else and be successful and I hope that is true. But it probably will be with out me at some point, because I am coming here for the content anymore I am coming here because of the good times I used to have here.

Very well put, thank you for this!

That wolf motherfucker from Commandeer Keen! I remember being a little kid and being terrified, as soon as you got on the same platform/eyesight of him he would make a soul-shattering sound that made me want to avoid him like the plague! Looking back at him now it looks comically tame, but back then when I was like, 5, I remember feeling so much anxiety whenever I met him.

@brunothethird: Stay stronger duder, sounds like a really bad and toxic environment but you can console by remembering that, whatever they say, doesn't meanthey are in the right or that you have to accept what they say.

Did I miss something?

@jesus_phish: Also, to add to your point, most of the comments in this thread have been constructive and level-headed, even though many of us are pretty disappointed in the GOTY format this year.

I will ecco what some of you have said, I really love the first one in a lot of ways (the visuals are amazing!) but I never finished it because the end was a little too much for me. Still, look forward to a new one that could improve on some of the shortcomings of the first one.
