GB is personality driven, when Alex, Vinny and Brad left, it already felt like a shift to the end. When Gerstmann was let go, GB really seemed doomed.
Fandom dictating what they can and cannot do when the site relies on their personalities and free form content just shows they don’t want the brand or people.
I really love Nextlander. I like fire escape. I miss Gerstmann, but I don’t want to listen to a solo podcast.
I hope the gang can aquire the brand. Fuck…
Yeah I loved Giant Bomb back in the day, but it was all about the people. With Vinny, Brad, Alex, and Jeff gone I just moved on to their new projects and stopped paying attention to Giant Bomb. Nowadays Giant Bomb is just a name to me.
I am absolutely in the same boat. I would love to listen to Jeff as well and every time he has a guest on I make sure to grab the podcast, but I can’t listen to one person podcasts. He absolutely needs a co-host or guests every week.
