We did it!

" New thing?    I predict a blanket Whiskey Media Podcast hosted by Dave. "

Excellent, the Bombcast should stay free, and the subscribers should actually get something extra, rather than the 'bonus' of a feature that was previously free.

I was really happy when I saw this news. I think it's great that the community and Whiskey were able to reach a compromise over this thing, but I wonder what this new content is going to be? Whatever it is it must be something they're able to whip up in a relatively short space of time. Thanks everyone who subscribed.

We won? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
 

Congrats? Not that I cared. But I'm glad the community is happy.

That's actually a smart idea. "

"  Ooh, ooh.  A new podcast: "A Shot of Whiskey" or "Whiskey Shots" or Whiskey Shooters" (you get the idea).  A Whiskey Media podcast for subscribers hosted by Dave Snider, with one seat for each of the Whiskey websites.  The person to fill each seat can be random.  So one chair will be any of the Giant Bomb guys on rotation, same for Tested, Screened and Comic Vine.  I want these personalities to mix, dammit.  Just like my whiskey.  "

I just read 11 pages of replies and these are my favorites.... Why oh why did the videos not come along?

Until people get pissed about not having the new thing, and the whole thing starts over again. "

If people get angry over the new stuff (hopefully it's actually new this time, not this podcast bullshit)... That would make me a sad panda.   Subscribers are paying for something, except not much right now. The new thing should be only for subs because they honestly need to get some value out of their support.   If people aren't gonna pay, well tough luck.   Anyways hopefully the new stuff is worth it. I'm just itching to have an excuse to give GB my money once I get a decent income (as in not zero). "

" The new thing should be a live-stream of Rorie, Will, and Ana in the creepy back room of the bar for 2 hours with nothing to pass the boredom but bottles of Whiskey.  
 

Even if not, we can all agree that since this whole Bombcast mess started

   

It's Been a Looong Rooad...

Yay, its nice feeling that you help get something accomplished! Hooray for continued Giant Bombcast and even better Giant Bomb content and features!

You're welcome, free members.

You know, if they would have stuck this on as a quest we'd have had it done half way into the BLLSL.

I'm really proud of the community for pulling it together... I'm really curious as to the ratio of subscriptions monthly/yearly. 
I'm especially happy that they have something special planned for us since this "priviledge" is being taken away (: that was really cool of them.

I just feel sorry for Dave.  Didn't he have to do a bunch of work just to make the bombcast split work?  Oh well, I guess that means he gets to spend his time working on something else more amazing.

He doesn't want to pay for the new thing that subscribers get. "

thats right... i want the old giantbomb back.... and i want them to stop lying :( (e.g. no nasty ads) "

This makes me a happy panda :) I wonder if they actually hit 5k or they just decided to do it anyways. Either way good news for everyone.

Good work guys!

Now we can put this behind us and act like it never happened. Fuckers.

Happy Bombcast Unification Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" You're welcome, free members. "

Surprise! Now TNT is for subscribers only or some equally dumb shit. I wouldn't put it past them.

Awesome! maybe the complaining will settle down now. Also can't wait to see this replacement, the shirt, HD and live friday + the chance to support was good enough for me but you wanna keep throwing new stuff go for it!

UNCUT BOMBCAST FOR SUBSCRIBERS! BRING IT!

Well done, chaps. I hope the number of subscriptions continues to rise, the Whiskey guys deserve it!

Nice. There is peace again on GB. Hopefully.

I personally don't think they would have done it in the first place. Why do a two hour bombcast, only offer it to subscribers then have to edit it into two separate parts and offer them at different times. All it would have done is meant that they created more work for themselves. Reformatting how they record the podcast with news and releases up first etc, splitting that two hour podcast into two parts then needing to offer each part separately. Not to mention how they'd have to work out with iTunes how to distinguish between subscribers and non-subscribers. No such thing as bad publicity in the media business.

its kinda crazy that it took all that just for the bombcast to be... the bombcast, a regular-ass podcast

They just need to add an hour to the bombcast that only subscribers get.

Obviously, the exclusive  content will be a head-mounted cam on Vinny, which will be live-streaming every Whiskey Media day.

Ah I figured that'd be my one asshole comment on this. "

I personally hope it's a new video segment or weekly competitions for members to win stuff (long as people can only win once to stop singular talented people hogging all the prizes). To be honest though I'm happy with how things are and what's on offer already. Only reason I paid was to support all the whiskey media sites.

No no, I meant I'd try to limit myself to one assholish elitist comment on the reaching 5k thing. "

Good that everyone's happy. But I would pay anyway even if they didn't give anything extra. What they have been putting out is more than enough for me.

" I think this is the only situation I have ever seen where paying users actively worked to have exclusive content taken away from them. "

I loooooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeeee you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Whiskey Media for compromising

Good thing in turned out this way. When I was listening the "Let's talk about membership"-podcast, at the beginning I was thinking that, yeah, I'll definetly subscribe. Just to show my support to the site. But when the news came up that they're cutting down bombcast and there's a waiting period, I kinda felt that it became necessity. And by so they took away all of my good will. If you know what I mean. But maybe now I can subscibe and again feel good about it.

This is the sole reason I paid. And now that it's gonna be free forever, Whiskey Media can expect a yearly sub from me one day. As soon as I can afford 50 bucks a year. I should really think about getting a job...
 
Seriously though, I am relieved.
