Guys no more E3 with GT. Fuck....no

Fuck! No bets between Bosman & Huber. Fuck fuck fuck.

 

[Maitiú]

Man its really shitty that the crew wasn't even given notice to allow them to create any kind of closure with their audience.

Heartless fuckin bastards, man.

 

[The perfect Dark]

*Shakes head*

If this is true that's ......I have no words. Sometimes you want to scream "fuck this world".

 

[Drencrom]

What the fuck.

Seriously.

What.

The.

Fuck.

[JigglesBunny]

Holy shit, this sucks! I loved GT and the whole crew!

Best of luck to all those losing work.

:ours one out::

 

[Xion86]

Shocked to hear about this...they just moved to a new place too right? I mainly go on for The Final Bossman...I really hope Kyle makes his own YouTube channel. Sad times

 

[kodecraft]

Man after the 1up Show, GameTrailers was my go to place for reviews. This industry needs these players in the game of journalism what's happening here.

 

[BlazeHedgehog]

That's a bummer. The Gametrailers user movie section back in the day is where I really gained confidence in my video editing ability. The video review show I still do was largely inspired by how they cut their reviews. I'm constantly bummed that the reality show idea they contacted me about never went through.

I wish all of the Gametrailers staff good luck in the future. You guys deserve to land on your feet.

 

[Trojita]

This is crazy. I liked their review videos.

[everyday math]

See yah space cowboys

 

[doctorblurg]

Let me give money, I'll do a patreon and I've never done one before, I can't lose GT

 

[DoubleTake]

They were my go to E3 squad. :/

 

[AHA-Lambda]

*Shakes head*

Wow, that is REALLY shitty. Fuck sake be courteous and give them some damn notice

 

[Johndoey]

Goddamn son.

 

[Andrefpvs]

I remember getting enough GameTrailers Dollars to get Resident Evil 5 for free on PS3, back when it released. I really enjoyed the game, too.

I uploaded an insane amount of videos to the site, even made my own original content. Fun times.

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

Absolutely gutted and a little bit in tears right now.... GT staff kept assuring us everything was alright but I knew Defy was going to land up doing this.

RIP my all time favorite gaming site. All the incredibly talented people that went through there over the years... hope they all land on their feet.

 

[Lunar15]

That is one dick move by the company.

 

[Ron K]

I'm not surprised, but they don't deserve this. They're the best crew in gaming and they belong together

 

[Oblivion]

Wait, they've been around since 2003? I didn't know they were that old.

I remember watching the first video there, which was a review of Super Mario Galaxy and was impressed by how well it was done. Sucks to see them go.

 

[Blue Calx]

Man, this sucks. I loved their reviews.

 

[Zomba13]

That Bosman sass.

 

[MMaRsu]

Damn that really sucks. Hope everyone lands on their feet

 

[DirtyManos]

Sucks so fucking much.

Really hoping they land on their feet quickly.

Their videos were always good to great, and they had collected a wonderful set of personalities that did so well together.

 

[Majine]

Defy Media seems like one very scummy company.

 

[Jarnet87]

I didn't watch a ton of their content but the countdown and retrospects were always great. Sad they are closing, hope their staff finds jobs quickly.

 

[boinx]

End of an era

 

[Feltrol]

Damn shame.

 

[Drencrom]

:ours one out::

You gotta tell them about the Patreon money, Greg!

 

[JBourne]

Damn. I watched almost all of the video reviews they put on Youtube. Very sad day.

Hope they all find new places to keep producing content.

 

[IzzyF3]

This sucks. My taste aligned with GT and their video content was high quality. Everybody there seems to have a lot of talent so I'm sure they'd land on their feet. So sudden though.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Ugh.

Absolute damn shame to hear.

 

[Illucio]

What did they do anymore?

I think they made some chronological history video on Kingdom Hearts recently... Did they even do game reviews or news articles?

I just haven't heard much about them or from them in recent years. But 10 years ago they used to be the biggest thing since slice bread.

 

[J-Skee]

And then it hits me, no more GT Time. This is insane.

 

[Blunoise]

This does not make any since, what is happening to the game industry

 

[opticalmace]

Well that bloody sucks.

 

[NeonBlack]

I never knew the closing of a business could hurt like this.

 

[FTF]

Wow, that is REALLY shitty. Fuck sake be courteous and give them some damn notice

Seriously, fuck that company for not giving the staff and everyone a heads up and any time to look for new jobs, etc.

 

[legacyzero]

*Shakes head*

Looks about right:

 

[Lorcain]

I visit GT every_single_day for the past 10 years and this news hit me like a fucking baseball bat right between the eyes...

I don't even know what to say, in 20 minutes they'll stream for one last time, make sure you pay your respects: http://www.twitch.tv/GameTrailers

Thanks. I'll be watching.

This news sucks

 

[Bold One]

*Shakes head*

 

[crash-14]

Guess I won't be visiting gamesites anymore. But everyone that was still visiting the site often should knew this was coming. Even they say it many times.

Funny to read certain people saying "I'm shock, I wasn't watching their content since years but I'm shock". Really?

Hope everyone will find something they can jump on, but it's sad to know there won't be something with the exact vibe...

 

[dmr87]

Patreon. Now.

Goooooooooo.

 

[Savinowned]

Looks about right:

I'm not even sure if he knew then..

 

[Golden Slumbers]

Man just when I started listening to GT Time too :/

What a shame.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

GT closing kind of feels like the death of "positive" games media to me.

Almost as if big sites can't get by without being pessimistic as fuck anymore :/

 

[Static Veins]

+1 for the Patreon train. I'd be all over paying for their content. Worth every last penny.

 

[everyday math]

And then it hits me, no more GT Time. This is insane.

You don't know what you got tell it's gone.

Hopefully they don't leave the game industry permanently.
