They own Giant BombWhats Fandom?
Dan Rykert from Giant Bomb
Yeah. Ever since Covid in 2020 they really went downhill. You would think working from home everyday would encourage them to produce content at a greater rate as they could stream remotely. No, they had like 10 people and the content dropped. It got better when Grubb came aboard but still not nearly as good as when Jeff, Vinny, Alex, Brad and Dan were there.Well he left GB before. They are not good or interesting or produce anything worth listening to.
We shouldn't. Giant Bomb has been dead for years... not sure why anyone listens to it now.And why should we care?
is baby gronk the new drip king
All of these glitzy outfits are going to die sooner or later. Because they're tied to corporate ownership or venture capital, they attract people with worldviews, politics, and appearances that turn off Joe Gamer.
Giant Bomb, Easy Allies, Gamespot, Kotaku.
Soon even Kinda Funny will fall apart for similar reasons. Ah well.
lol…

Yeah, that one is out there. But Dan had his own rant on his Twitch channel last night (which is gone now) where he ranted heavily and chugging beer. I have not seen it though.Yeah, I watched an archive of the podcast's episode before it was taken down.
They all took the piss out of Fandom's new guidelines through the entire episode.
It's just ridiculous and whoever the new Fandom management are, they seem to have absolutely no idea how the internet works. They were allowed only one Fuck through the episode and were told to not talk about violent or sexually suggestive stuff... I mean that basically cuts them talking about every M rated game ever.
It was bought by Fandom a few years back I believe and they got rid of a few dead weight people. They brought in Jeff Grubb, who is actually the best one on there and isn't annoying (and he actually knows his shit).Giant bomb still exists?
Didn't a bunch of softies take over and then it died.
Yeah, they're Easy Allies tier. They are irrelevant in the current media landscape. Kinda Funny doesn't look much better either. I hear about all three on this forum but no one is watching them.Easy to see why they shut it down.
didn't they like prop up the likes of Alyssa Mercante though and have those cringe streams where she shouts at people to fight her and stuff.It was bought by Fandom a few years back I believe and they got rid of a few dead weight people.

Whelp, looks like Giantbomb, as we've known it, is just as good as dead.

Easy Allies already lost most of their "big hitters". They lost Brandon, Ben, Kyle, and Brad. Giant Bomb has been effectively dead for quite awhile ever since the mass exodus. GameSpot I don't know a single person that even goes there, and Kotaku is Kotaku.All of these glitzy outfits are going to die sooner or later.

Kinda Funny I don't see falling apart though. I don't care for them (stopped watching when Colin left and everything that went down just put a bad taste in my mouth plus Tim is a cunt and while I have fond memories of Greg due to IGN and early KF the fact he sold out his best friend for internet points disgusts me).
Last Stand is the only gaming "outlet" that I actually care about. LSM makes stupid money and doesn't bother with any of the stuff that a lot of places do. All of their podcasts are just recorded from home and they don't have a studio or any of that bullshit that costs money.
Best mid tier streamer in existence IMO, lol.I don't even know who works for Giant Bomb for anymore but they are probably getting decent salaries. It's easy for these guys to blame ownership, but they're getting fuckin 3k views. Why would anyone pay you a salary for that. Mid tier streamers like lord arnis get way more views and nobody is paying them a salary.

Yeah....I mean what did they all do all day? Meetings? Meetings for what? Most didn't make any videos at all. One Bombcast episode a week and that was about it really.Their content output was laughable.
Literally just needed post videos of themselves playing games and talking about said games and they couldn't even manage with an entire team.
And let's be real this content is just cut down stream footage done by lord n0pants. He puts in 0 effort into this.I don't even know who works for Giant Bomb for anymore but they are probably getting decent salaries.

Jeff Grubb also announced that he is out of a job so it's more then just Dan.
