@curseofthewise:I mean I get that, but do you really think that's how things are at Giant Bomb? I think things are pretty relaxed over there. They still haven't even gone back into the office, right? From what they've been saying too, Red Ventures is better than CBS.
I'd say it's more likely that they don't want to re-memorize and re-do a bunch of corporate bullshit from square 1 again, only to maybe be sold off again in another 5-10 years, it's gotta be exhausting on all of them. And RedVentures can SEEM like a lot of things externally, but I'd say them being difficult to work with getting time off is the more likely scenario than "They all had a massive falling out with Jeff Gerstmann that didn't extend to Jason, Bakalar, Jan, and Rorie."
I agree. I think it's that they saw an opportunity to be their own bosses through the success of their peers with patreon. Why keep making money for a corporate company after corporate company when you only get a small piece of it and you're breaking your back doing all the work making original content? Good for them, they're getting paid $$$$ now. You gotta respect it.
