Can you imagine if they gave him free reign to do what he likes with the edit to the announcement of a 2D Metroid though? I'd pay money for that video.

GameTrailers to close after 13 years

video is the future so I'm sure they can easily find new work. depends on where they go. I hope they stick together tho.
Seriously. I mean, they're all great but they were incredible as a group. I mean, what other website has given us something as beautiful as the Battle of the Bands?
Sure
and that's the image I use if someone wants to do it.
Could you add to mine as well? And thanks for doing this for everyone.
Yeah, Huber Bosman Moore would make a kickass core team though I'd like to at least see Brad as well.
I'm not concerned about Ian. He's just so calm and reasoned about this. Ian's got friends in every town and village from here to Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, playing games and taking names. You'll soon see him again. With any luck, he's got a new job already.
Seriously though, I would imagine he could join Elyse again if he wanted. But maybe he'll take the plunge and get into movies.
Comcast My exact response was:
"I am paying you an extra $35 a month to get off your terrible 300 GB data cap that shouldn't even be there in the first place. There were no terms saying I couldn't download 24/7 when I bought the unlimited plan, so please do not call me again about data usage."
I agree. It's not equating the losses as being the same. For me the GT logo is just there to show that I appreciate what they did and I'm going to miss them and hope they find some place where they can continue. Ideally somewhere where I can watch them again.

extra $35??? for unlimited download cap? welp.
I guess I'm happy with paying for my ISP unlimited sub of that same amount, even though I have less than 3Mb

I might have missed it, because I only read about 30 pages of the thread, but are there any statements already about what the guys plan on doing?
I know it just happened but since there are no decent alternatives to GT in terms of reviews and content, I'm kind of left out in the rain.
It's been a great ride and I don't want it to end.
Just as Brandon said in his farewell speech, I grew up with them. I feel like I've lost part of my family.

Google Fiber is currently being installed in my city. To say I am counting down until it's ready is an understatement.
ah I see. I'm using Comcast too but my limit has been suspended for years. they never bothered implementing it. I'm guessing they fear the switch to FiOS in my area. they shouldn't even be calling you until you reached the limit right?
Some of them are tweeting about finding work and looking for leads.
Few of them haven't said anything about their plans yet though.
Whatever it is, I hope they hang out on twitch some nights.
It'd soften the blow at least.
at least you get that option there, I have to stick to my connection in my shitty country.
anyway, how's the download going?
Yeah, they're just looking right now. They literally found out and were closed down yesterday.
Considering how things were going I feel like this was inevitable. I want to believe that rather than this being the end of something it'll be the trigger and beginning of something new and even better.
This hit me hard

Damn, I nearly made it 10 years as a member.
And as a forum mod on GT, this was definitely one of my most memorable moments.
The community was hilarious sometimes. I really miss the factions.
this made me a huge laugh...
damages and victimisation???? seriously?
although it is still sad to see a permaban, specially if it comes to someone who makes effort into the account, but those threats are not the way to solve anything

It just hit me that there will be no impressions video for Quantum Break this thursday by Huber. This makes me sad.

Haha, oh WOW!
I used to be afraid of getting PMs, because I have gotten some shitty ones, but most of them were like "why'd you close my thread instead of moving it? You moved the others?"
I was only a section mod for Non-Gaming though, so I couldn't ban people (I totally would have, though. Fuck your "get this many people to click and see this girl nude" links) and this was like 2008-9 before a redesign that prevented me from logging in.
Ah...good times...
Even here, where I'm even more of a nobody, I get suuuper nervous if I ever get a PM, unless I'm giving something away.
Who knows... we have to have hope, they might end up somewhere together.

This would be cool but I'd hate for someone like Bosman to be unable to speak openly regularly. Remember that one employee who went on that podcast?
Or Ben Moore.
I do hope wherever Ben ends up he's on videos or podcasts and has the freedom to rant when he wants to, he's fantastic when he gets going. Fantastic review writer so I know somewhere will snap him up in that capacity, but I need more Moore!
This is more on the production end, so like Blood tweeted, more for Ian or Don. Don was a bit shy in front of the camera anyway and not always comfortable (although fantastic when he was) so it could be a great fit for him.
I think now Ian has the taste of doing stupid shit in front of the camera, he'll be wanting more of that.

I fear for the day the mods here will tire of my shit and permaban me. Imagine sending something like this to Bish. I'd give you real-life life expectancy of 2 hours.

Got home from work with a few beers and been watching random episodes to send the lads off properly.
Man this fucking sucks
Such a positive voice in the industry taken offline with nothing at all to replace it. Will miss all the original content and reviews. Will miss the podcast. Most of all will miss the infectious enthusiasm that always reminded me why I love and what I love about gaming.
All the best GT crew. Wherever you end up I'll be dropping by to see what you get up to. Much respect.
P.s. e3 is going to suck hard if your bets and commentary don't show up somewhere/somehow... just saying.

Sorry bro
I left in the summer of 2013, just before E3. I've landed safely, but no longer in gaming.
All the best to the guys that carried the torch after I left, after Viacom, and post Defy.
This might be good news.
Oh God no, dear l...no!!

I mean Alan Wake was alright, but bless Ben Moore for that reaction. :lolOr Ben Moore.

Haha, perfect reaction

Ben Moore-chan is so kawaii it hurts.
Alan Wake WAS alright.
Kyle Bosman 4 Giant Bomb pleazzze
Yeah, I keep thinking there's no way they can Patreon an effort of 10 people, so it'd almost certainly have to be something smaller - 3 or 4 people, perhaps.
I've checked this thread half a dozen times today hoping for any positive developments, changes, etc. :-(

Kyle needs to stay far away from GB. He might end up thinking Shadow of Mordor was a good game.
You are underestimating Kyle. Under his adorable outerior he is a WARRIOR.
Shadow of Mordor was alright.

sad, really liked a lot of their shows before they got sold/bought a couple years ago
