At least one, maybe 2, but not all.
Sounds like IGN will let EZA put up a video on gametrailers to let everyone know where they can find the staff now.
Edit: New video on gametrailers channel

Nothing. They're just archiving their previous content since the GT website is being taken down.

The only thing I could really see coming from it is maybe IGN would be more willing to let them use things from GT (then again they may still want to avoid it just in case)
Very cool though, keeping things available (legally) is what matters. Unfortunately they'll probably shut down the Gametrailers Archive youtube

All their old work is archived on a big site and if they've bought all the assets, I'm hoping they have some of the "lost" Viacom stuff.
it's one of the 3 announcements since IGN got Brandon to do the voiceover for the announcement and gave EZA a shout out in the announcement video.
They already have. Pretty cool of IGN. More promotional work for the crew from IGN than their entire time with Defy.

I dont understand IGN's plan here. They're already currently in the process of fracturing all their content and shows into seperate youtube channels and now they've obtained GT so they can put trailers there? That's a whole lot of seperate subs they're counting on spread out over more than a dozen channels.
As long a EZA continues own their own, it's IGN's headache down the line.

HASNEY SPECULATION TIME
IGN traditionally have a booth on the show floor of E3... I wonder if they're going to let them use it to film some stuff during the show days and that's an announcement?
I mean, you could always unsub. it's not like the old crew will be posting vids there.

Brandon also mentioned that Defy said they could get their show's names back but that they'd have to wait. Then Brandon added that they can't wait with that and decided to start Easy Allies?
Sounds like there's a good chance Kyle could get Final Bosman back in future if he wanted to...or at least that's what I got out of it.
2 more announcements during the group stream.

I can understand IGN wanting that sweet URL, but it's definitely nice of them to still archive everything and have an initial plug for Easy Allies in return for Brandon introducing the changes to smooth the transition.
Great announcement - I would never have predicted this in a million years.
That would be sweet, and to be honest it's the only one of the old show names that's really worth keeping, as opposed to stuff like Tabletop Adventures that's just as well off being called Tabletop Escapades.
I guess being able to make new episodes of "Levels" would be nice as well, but not really all that important of a get.

Oh, I didn't know this. If IGN signed a deal with them to let them have their show trademarks, that would be awesome.
...Other than GT Time, that wouldn't make sense now :lol
EDIT: Well shit. IGN already uploading stuff like old Retrospectives to YouTube. This is the first time I've liked IGN in years!
EDIT AGAIN: Just gonna post the whole update from Patreon. Sounds like they have everything in the archive. Squee!
That patreon post by Brandon sums up a lot regarding this situation. If IGN can really funnel new game trailers to this youtube channel, that will be fantastic. I am so happy that the allies can keep doing what they have been doing these past year, but I was also sad that I did not have a 1 stop place to go and check the daily game trailers anymore. That is why I got hooked on GT like a decade ago. I am hopeful that IGN can do the GT name justice.
Edit: Plus I am about to binge watch,a ton of old retrospectives.

Good on IGN for archiving old GT content and letting Brandon explain what's going on and plug Easy Allies.

Oh whoops on that My Edited Video thing going live. It was just a test and should have been set to private. I really hope that the original video will just fix itself and I don't have to replace it.
Looks like IGN found BackTrack and is uploading that as well which makes me super happy. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaQokWZfgbyn1GHPq5j9LEkfbcFSdrD4D

Good Guy IGN.
Obviously great effort by the community in archiving the Gametrailers videos, and they did a mighty fine job with that. But it´s also nice, to soon have everything in one place.
Good news all around.

That was... unexpected. Definitely good for the preservation of the old shows and retrospectives.

I think its extremely telling that the first thing IGN starts uploading is the Retrospectives, absolutely awesome of them. This news makes me so happy just to see that all the hard work Brandon, the EZA staff and all former GT staff did well over a decade won't be lost and forgotten.
Good on you IGN and glad to see that Brandon as well as the rest of the EZA crew seems truly happy with this.

Do you think there's a chance that they'll announce that kyle is the first full-time employee and that, after the ign acquisition of the gt properties, they got back the final bosman name? I don't believe these are the announcements, but that kinda makes sense...
Something tells me one is E3 related. No evidence for this, just my total gut feel.
I am super pumped to hear this. I could not imagine if any of my work that I put serious time into had disappeared.

All of those times Kyle has gone "eew" when IGN was mentioned. Haha.
Real out of the blue news this. I assume IGN just want that "Gametrailers" name yeah? Deep down they couldn't give a tuppenny fuck about anything else. Or is that just me being rather cynical?

I have to imagine that the bigwigs that run the company prolly felt that way. But I am sure that staff members at IGN are happy to share old GT content. They all work in the same industry. I am sure many employees at IGN respect quality content no matter if it was considered competition.

really interesting first announcement. I'm thinking an IGN/EZA E3 might be in the works. like, IGN didn't have anything unique for E3 last year from what I remember; they just kinda had stream feeds and re-caps. they need to give people some reason to go there over the other 500 gaming websites, or just going to Twitch.
I was certain the "announcement on another site" was going to be for Damiani's show, but I guess not. hm

I still do not think 1 of the announcements is about E3. It would be great if they scored a side gig with a big outlet or figured out a way to hold their own location, I just think it was too quick of a turn over. I hope I am wrong though. No matter the scale of their E3 coverage, I know I will be there.
That is certainly a very surprising announcement, but it is a good one. There's probably going to be a bunch of content that I've missed that's also not on the fan made GameTrailers Archive YouTube channel, so it's nice to have them easily available like this.
I know that Huber has expressed that he would like to continue the storyline from his show, so if what you're saying is true, the Huber Hype story might continue. Although, it would probably still be harder for him to shoot that stuff now that they aren't all working in the same space all the time.

E3's like 4 weeks away! I'm sure their plans are pretty put together at this point

So do I need to subscribe to a new Youtube channel? Or is everything being archived on the current Game trailers channel?
It's going up on the old GT channel yeah.
EZA comment section, best comment section.
Hey look that's me!
This would be similar to the Gamespot and Kinda Funny Games partnership last year. I think last year it was just the fact that Gamespot had a spare stage.

As others have said the old one, they've already uploaded like most of the retrospectives on there.
I understand it is close. I just think that they may not have had the time and resources to secure something that they would tease as aneeded announcement. Like I said, I hope I am wrong. I would love a stage and guests and whole whole nine yards. I just do not think it will be this year they can get those together. Will be watching E3 through them no matter what though.

Pretty cool that IGN is taking the time to archive, I know that some gaffers put a lot of effort into also archiving things, but I don't know how successful that was.
