Maybe they're all quitting and Dave's place really is their new office?

Crosses fingers.

 

[inky]

What the fuck?! ='(

 

[Keyser Soze]

Currently not planning to renew subscription (which ends next February). Although, the guys have a lot of time to make me feel like I need to... I don't even know what I am subscribed to anymore

 

[Zoibie]

Well... huh. This is going to be an interesting stream for sure.

 

[Gandie]

Noooo, fuck.

 

[FStop7]

This is called "putting on a brave face" - it is not good news.

I hope we subscribers are reimbursed somehow because this is not what I paid for.

There aren't going to be anymore subscriptions.

 

[Qwomo]

Yeah I don't get how this can be a positive from a content perspective. Financially, it's awesome. But c'mon.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Maybe they're all quitting and Dave's place really is their new office?

Gianter bomb!

A new start up where you subscribe and give them money for content! It'll be great and never change.

Ever.

 

[derFeef]

No more independent GB means shit GB :/
We'll see.

 

[ultron87]

This is going to be the spinniest stream since the "we're breaking up the Bombcast" debacle.

 

[slaughterking]

Even if this doesn't turn out to be really bad for the site I don't see how this could be good or exciting in any way. What a lame announcement.

I hope the stream brings some clarification.

 

[Hot Coldman]

BUT WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?

This is what I want to know.

I"m sure as hell not giving $50 a year to CBS. Of course now we won't have to pay for subs we'll have to just sit through constant ads.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Well, that's that.

 

[GillianSeed79]

so Whiskey Media is being split up.

Nooooooo!

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Seriously, if that article if for real, there's no spinning it, for me. Every. Single. Time that a merger has happened, it's made the site significantly more bland, to the point of being unreadable. I'd much rather WM do another fundraiser, but something tells me that the owner just wanted to get paid.

 

[ghostmind]

If BermanBraun gets the tech, then what happens to the GB site?!?!

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Maybe they're all quitting and Dave's place really is their new office?

Haha. YES.

I'd love them to just all quit and start anew again. >_>

 

[JBuccCP]

Does this mean John Davison runs Giantbomb now?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I made a thread about it.

[sixghost]

Well they had a good run. about 4 years or so?

 

[Hoo-doo]

This will break my fucking heart if true.

Don't do this to me, giant bomb.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I don't want CBS or anyone else to have my credit card and billing address.

 

[Gowans]

heart breaking

 

[Hot Coldman]

Maybe they'll return to a basement office again! :lol

 

[Neuromancer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[derFeef]

Giant Spot!

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Ummm whoa what the hell.

 

[Bento]

Dammit, if something like was ever to happen I at least hoped it would be Giantbomb + Tested not stupid Comic Vine Oh well.

 

[shadyspace]

The only way I could see this as good news for the guys is if Gamespot is closing and Giant Bomb is it's replacement. Dat revengeance.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

No way in hell I'm subscribing again if this is true. Anxious to hear how they spin it.

 

[jbug617]

is this the curse of Patrick Klepek?

 

[Heel]

You know what's really bad news? A start up company that doesn't make money and then stops existing when they aren't acquired. Thank about that. Most of you guys are ridiculous. I'm out of here.

 

[boredJonathan]

This is called "putting on a brave face" - it is not good news.

Yup. That was the vibe I was getting earlier from all the "HUGE AMAZING NEWS" teases. Curious to learn more about what is actually going to happen - but I imagine we won't even get that from this live stream, just more platitudes that it's all gonna be OK and how "great" this all is.

 

[Orgun]

At this time I'm hovering over unsubscribe, wonder how they'll spin this

 

[Willkiller]

Chat is over

 

[Broder Salsa]

 

[Plasma]

Hoping it doesn't change anything but I'm guessing it will ):

 

[Qwomo]

Seriously, has there ever been a single gaming site acquisition like this that resulted in good things?

 

[Data West]

The only way I could see this as good news for the guys is if Gamespot is closing and Giant Bomb is it's replacement. Dat revengeance.

Don't see how a bunch of people losing their jobs who had nothing to do with CNET is revengeance.

 

[Barrett2]

Haha, just finished a client phone call, saw 2 minutes on the timer.

All according to plan...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

 

[YuriLowell]

God no why does everything great having to be fucking ruined!

 

[JAVK]

I KNEW 2012 WAS REAL!!! Fuck you Mayans!

Spoiler

Its all Kony's fault

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

10 point review scale incoming

=/

 

[FStop7]

No, but tomorrow is pretty much the deadline for them to explain why before the users start asking a lot of questions. Tomorrow is TNT day plus Tested live streams their podcast. If neither of those events take place then something is definitely amiss.

I just hope it's not something insane like a merger with CNET. I'd rather have the sentient mold.
