Yup. It really sucks.

I agree with OP. I've been following the site for what seems like forever, and the negativity has become absolutely overwhelming lately. I love Gerstmann, but it seems like he hates literally everything. Not just dislikes, but aggressively hates on shit. It's exhausting. Jess is almost as bad, and just constantly shit-talks stuff she doesn't like. I think it was on UPF this week that she informed us that adults who like Lego are just pathetic, uncreative, old people. Cool, Jess, cool.

There is enough negativity and garbage out in the real world, on the news, and almost everyplace you look. I don't need it here too. I cancelled Premium a few weeks ago and I haven't regretted it once. I'm subbed through July, so I'll still watch stuff here and there, but there is no chance I'll re-up at this point. I can't even make it through a whole Bombcast anymore, and it used to be a highlight of the week for me.

For good vibes, check out Nextlander. Sorry, GB.

2027, huh?

The chemistry is really lacking lately. It's rough, I haven't even finished the past few Bombcasts.

Reel Layers is the least entertaining thing this website has ever done.

@raven10: I really don't think this site has enough content to need a Netflix-style recommendation algorithm. There is one new thing a day, at best. Old content is basically all about video games. New content basically isn't.

My assumption is that because Brad worked at GB, he couldn't use that platform to promote his side gigs. It's maybe not so much about "never talk about the competition" but more about preventing staff from promoting their non-GB endeavors in GB content. I mean, the Tech Pod isn't exactly competition to the Bombcast. Pretty different topics and format.

It's not the craziest thing to imagine that happening. Who knows?
