Giant Bomb Presents: Discord Q&A from 03/24/2023

Thanks for this, I appreciate that you didn't dodge the harder questions. Reassured me quite a bit.

Really miss pre-covid days of GB, not exclusively the people that have left, but mainly that the crew was all together in person in a studio and that just made for much better comedy and fun. I think they can rotate people in and out all day, but as long as they're heads in boxes it's just missing that magic.

Thanks for posting this. I'm basically not on Discord anymore so I didn't get to listen to it.

I also appreciate y'all immediately dealing with the tough questions including the layoffs.

Hey y’all, thanks for taking my question first thing, long live Giant Bomb!

I’m not 100% satisfied with the responses, but the fact that they went straight for the future and new hire questions, as well as the value of premium, does matter to me. Thanks all!

Oh, sweet, they're going to E3.

Mitch is so over

Good talk. As someone that only interfaces with the website it's discouraging to hear that it's the lowest trafficked space. I personally don't want to wade through YouTube or Twitch nonsense and was hoping resources would go into a functional front page but I understand where they're coming from.

Thanks y'all! This was great, and I'm optimistic for the future.

Oh no, they recorded this before E3 got cancelled. ;-;

Just commenting after the first question. Really appreciate the response and want to acknowledge yea, things go slow in that structure. Best wishes.
Edit: Just finished. Thanks y'all! While I still feel disappointed with the layoffs, I'm encouraged by your energy. A lot of what was discussed makes sense in reality (wiki, premium, etc).

PS, I super endorse Tam + Jan pre-recorded Sekirochoa continuation!

In confused... your new corporate overlords purchased GB et al., fired a bunch of people, and now want to hire a bunch of people, but have no timetable for which to do that. This leaves me with little to no confidence that things will improve, or that management has any idea what they are doing.
