Well you can't have something positive on the internet without some trolls , especially on youtube.

Well i would even like more that Amazon buys them now then that they go separate ways. Amazon has enough money, they own Twitch, they have Gaming Studios group...

And some more:
Thanks!
Any one of you playing "I like this, please do some other video" , "he was the only one who kept the boat floating" etc are probably people who never worked in a team or 12 years old.
And this coming from the wonderful, magical place NeoGAF claims to be is astonishing (not really to me, but you get my point I hope).
Also, I watch some Kinda Funny, and they are working many, many hours a day. They already had some equipment to record, they don't do fancy stuff, just single camera podcasting, 2 podcasts split in 4 parts uploaded daily on YouTube. And even they have a guy who only does editing, because if you think anyone can put up what GT did with only 2-3 people and even the most expensive of cellphones you're delusional - or you don't know what you're talking about.
I think anyone having a job and knowing what a team is should think twice before posting such comments in a place probably monitored by the same guys you talk about, because not only you come out as fundamentally stupid but you also might make someone feel less than what they are.
Well, it's youtube comments, but deep inside you know they're right.

Thanks!
That's a shame and a little heart breaking. I haven't visited their site in quite some time and the only thing I sort of watch from them anymore is the Final Bosman but I have a lot of great memories from their site. I remember I used to download a lot of their videos, use some horrible compression tool and put them on my MP3 player so I could watch them during long road trips and commutes.
And some more:
Thanks man, you are awesome.

I have been going there for over a decade, loved their coverage but never really knew what was going on behind the scenes.
Anyone has a timeline of major events? I kind of remember that at some point MTV bought them and at some other point I stopped seeing Keighley in videos.... what happened?

Is there anyway we can start archiving the videos now that the site is shutting down? I would hate to lose such great original shows and not have a back up. Backtrack was my favorite show and now it seems like its gone. The Chrono Cross ep and Streets of Rage ep is not backed up anywhere. What can we do here?
Internet Archive didn't save the videos either.

More i think it makes more sense that GT crew goes to Amazon/Twitch. Twitch will soon introduce video hosting as far as i remember so GT Shows like Retrospective etc. would be nice push, with GT Crew they will get more hosts for big events like E3, they could create behind scenes videos... We should create hashtag for this to push this idea to Twitch/Amazon

I noticed something was up when Screen Junkies launched SJ Plus, while Gametrailers didn't get any noticeable upgrades. Defy went all in with them.

This really hurts. Wow. I first started watching their videos when I found our about a game called Battle Stadium D.O.N. Back when I was in high school, I had never really frequented a site for trailers or reviews, but in that instant after watching that trailer, I knew I found a new home.
Ever since, I have followed almost everything they did, from the Reviews to the Retrospectives, Final Bosman (from episode 1), ect. And everything in between. I hope everyone on the staff lands on their feet, and hopefully find a way to continue their stellar original programming .
Goodbye Gametrailers, it's been a wonderful ride. :'(

Were they one thing? Or did it just happen at the same time? Isn't 1UP the site that Jose Otero, current IGN employee, worked at before?

I found this on twitter (Gametrailers is trending atm)
So much truth in that, they really cared about games and this industry and thats what I loved about them the most.

Damn.
In the stormy sea of the internet GT Time felt like home. My only wish is that somehow they'll find something new all together.

What a shame to see GT fall apart like this. If just subscribed to their YouTube channel (a game they started playing far too late), as their reviews had always been done in a style I appreciated, were pretty balanced and well argued, and had that amazing VO.
I was starting to get into their other output too. For an arm of a larger entertainment group, they offered content they might have had a tendency to overhype matters on occasion, but it was generally solid, reliable, and most importantly didn't feel fake, and had warmth behind it.
I hope the group manage to salvage something to continue to work together.

I havent really cared for the site since the Invisible Walls-days, when they still had guys like Satterfield and Stevens, but of course very sad to see them go. And very surprised! When they also cooperated with Screwattack for the Nerd-stuff, Video Game Vault and Top 10s they used to have tons of content, and I would guess they must have had great traffic numbers. Especially during E3 when they without question had the best coverage (well untill Treehouse Live at least). Good luck to all of them, but especially Bloodworth who was the only guy left I really cared for. Hope they all land on their feet. RIP.
