I've never understood those that criticize the premium fee. $50 for 100s of hours of content each year is not much to ask.
My main issue is that they keep promising more staff members "soon" and have done so ever since they were bought. But here we are 2 years later and now there's even less members on staff than we started out with (of course I'm not taking Ryan's passing into account, his spirit will always remain with us).
A second issue I have is why is there no dedicated weekly feature for Jeff and Vinny yet? They should know by now that people like those two, and yet there hasn't been a single Jeff & Vinny feature since the DP endurance run? Why?
I will cover all parts for you. In year one the E3 equipment was stolen, that same stuff was the super important stuff they needed for all their video work in office, that stuff is expensive. They had to borrow and book Gamespot stuff. So when they got their next budget which was to hire people it had to buy the equipment again. In April 2013 is when this budget would have been done.
So they carried on we lost Ryan which was a huge blow to EVERYTHING. Since Ryan was the Joyous frontman to a lot of things a few shows being made and going to be made halted. They soldiered on yet the budget took a hit as they had to buy a bunch of PS4's and Xbones for reviews and coverage, that expensive.
So thats the budget accounted for in basic until 2014, they have all their video equipment...they have all the consoles.....its time to hire people! So April 2014 would be the new budget and so Jeff is vetting candidates to join Giant Bomb. This is no easy task to make a short list let alone a real list, this may take time.
Finally the reason why there is no Jeff and Vinny stuff....is cos of MEETINGS! How did all the above get paid for? By Vinny and Jeff sitting in meeting's convincing the budget people to give them the money. Aswell as permission to do anything and everything. Then what ever standard meetings they have. Jeff is Chief Editor and Vinny is Head of Video, so they both have to do meetings. While Drew tinkers with videos and Brad sends EMAILS!
Its sadly aint so easy to get things done in a corporation.
