The sad bit about them not being able to hire extra people is that people who are hired as editors should be doing that job and not having to be a manager or pushing paperwork.

Do you know? I have worked for some very large companies that were never that slow and gamespot never seem to take longer than a month or two to get replacements.
There is a process and getting the right person takes time - but I get the feeling Jeff could move faster.
I mean he complains that they had problems hiring people without work visas. He could have found out that was a non-starter with a simple google search or asking Danny. I hope he didn't waste too long on that.
A gym teacher at my old school had sex with a bunch of 16-18 year old girls for years.
But I hope Drew will still live in the SF area and pop in for the next Mario Party.
nah, that's on Jeff. I can't find the link but he said it took him a while to find time to talk to HR. Gamespot's replacements when up almost immediately.
Now the positions to be filled are adding up and West is fucked in the meantime.
Not as much as me

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
This....sounds not right
There also work way more people at Gamespot. Jeff still has to produce content

guys, just look at the bright side to this
someone come up with a bright side to this

I have less reasons to lie about wanting to be alive and clarity is good?
There isn't a bright side. Not anymore. Never again.

The bright side
Not the worst outcome
Our expectations of giantbomb west will be even lower so when they finally hit a homerun we'll be even more surprised.
That's a dumb bright side, the real bright side would be that Drew will be able to do something he wants to pursue more

I don't see how that can be anything but a bright side.

Is this the gif made by a Gaffer here in this thread?
Yeah Rorie is cool, I've even started to kinda like his dark sense of humour lol
hey, i'm not saying they're sitting on the thumbs over there, but West's issues are no joke, have been going for a while, and were foreseeable. Maybe prioritise it higher? We're used to content droughts anyway.
No longer hearing about Drew's life will make us feel less inadequate?
The new guys are gonna suck.

Man, think about the content droughts they had with Drew.
Now think about the ones they'll have when he's gone.

I don't think you guys get it

But what if he's the one holding them back.
And now with him gone they have that weight off their shoulders to do more content.

UPF should take a permanent trip to GBeast
I was gonna say Jeff can do his tricaster stream thing but they just switched equipment right

Bright side is we likely get some super cool drew new thing later on similar to waypoint being awesome or gbeast getting awesome
But man that sucker punch of losing drew fucking sucks
But man that sucker punch of losing drew
fucking sucksI know GBWest will come through eventually so I'm not worried on that end at all but Drew leaving has crushed my soul and it feels so dumb to care. When the people you can consider "the originals" leave it's so shitty. We got to watch him grow into a huge part of the site. He stepped up every time they were down and became more and more of a presence.
Best case scenario for what drew does next: Travelling Documentaries.

I never pictured Drew in a public-facing job after Giant Bomb. I guess we'll see, he clearly is planning to announce something.

Stay positive guys. Maybe they hire PewDiePie. I hear he is available right now. There is always hope.
I mean, West hasn't put out a lot of videos on the last couple of weeks. Look, I'm not saying Jeff is the most efficient, I'm just saying we have little to no idea what is going on. Don't you think Jeff would be the first to speed that process up if he could?

Is it a content drought now? There's been quite a bit of content.
At will employment. Workers can leave whenever they want, and no good would come of trying to force someone like Austin to turn down a better offer.
quit stating facts. it's too posi. we are grieving
It's always something. Now it matters which side of the country is producing more than the other.
Non-compete clauses are pretty common.
yeah, for people with access to trade secrets worth billions.
this is talking about video games and cheese.
For workers at gaming websites? It's not lucrative enough of an occupation.
Also, they are void in California.
People in fields like advertising and sales making like 50k sign non-competes all the time
