The moment they hired that triggered guy who pretends to be girl it was over.
Frosk Jogurt or whatever her name is. If you are getting 24 hours triggered to everything and blame and bemoan your audience don't expect then to stick watching your tantrums.

That doesn't sound like much on paper, but stop to realize: 15-20 people is roughly 200% of the viewer base, so it's a pretty substantial number of workers to lose.

Out of what is the question. If it's out of 30 then it's disaster, out of 50 is massive out of 1000 well who cares. The real and useful context is missing.
Edit: now we have context. 20 out of 200 is Massive.

Even so, they have to protect her to their last breath. Out of all the career "changes," that are happening over there, guaranteed, she's gonna be the one to lock the studio doors the last time, for fear of Sessler getting labeled a homophobe misogynist or some shit.

I had no context of what G4 was or anything, but I saw that whole "Playstation is a dead man walking etc" thing and it's aftermath and concluded they are either willingly trying to create some sort of bait controversy or they simply have hosts that have no idea of what they're talking about and neither of those two alternatives justified watching a single second of their content.

Honestly, G4 had a good run and was one of the forefronts for a weird niche "gaming TV channel." I stopped watching a long time ago, so I wouldn't have any idea of what shows/personalities are even on now. I thought it was mostly re-runs of shows like COPs mixed with old AoTS and X-play.

OG G4 died in 2014...I'd rather watch old reruns of S-Club 7 over the rubbish content they've been pushing out as of late.

It's like they forgot WHO actually enjoyed their older content and watered it down completely.

Will wait for more info, but I will say that I had a strong feeling that the deal with NBC Universal was eventually going to end on a sour note. They took a big gamble with cable TV over other offers and outlets.
Quite a few members here will blame wokeness and Frosk but not realize that this was going to be the eventual outcome regardless of that moment ever happening in the first place.

There simply does not exist a viable market for their content anymore. If you're looking for in depth coverage of gaming, there are thousands of YouTube channels to cater to that need with lower overhead, more actual knowledge, and a better understanding of their audience. There's not a monolithic "gamer" demographic anymore who will just sit down and watch any general ass thing about video games. Instead there are people with increasingly specialized tastes in content: people who only watch speedrun videos, people who only watch videos on about a specific platform, people who only watch videos about Fortnite or Minecraft, people who only watch weird sexual ASMR videos about Sans from Undertale or whatever, etc. No one wants to watch some middle-aged eternal frat boy do 30 second reviews of the week's big releases. Who could possibly give a shit?
The woke nonsense was pretty clearly an attempt to use controversy to get eyes on their content, but that strategy stopped being effective like two years ago. So even their attempts to crassly exploit modern sensibilities are behind the times.

Massive for that little company maybe. Other industries such as automotive see 2 to 3 thousand go at a time which was more where I was coming from. That is a massive number.

This is exactly what happen when you hire talentless activist instead of actual competent People, G4 was a business, their main focus should be making money, the moment Frosk start that unprovoken rant, she should be fired instead everyone cheering her
Now you have old People like sessler who i doubt could land another job in the industry, when you are 35+ your job options start to decline, New and cheaper People could bring better numbers, because you become too old to your audience
In the end G4 failed because they are incompenet, their channel was full of old People, who acted like gen z teenagers, so thats full cringe, they never got a decent screenplay, and they shit on their audience
