"I've been here since the beginning and I noticed those things too. A lot of people won't care, but I do. Except for the Kessler kam. That just needed to go away. "
Agreed.
" @SethPhotopoulos said:Maturity : The Inverse of hondorondo's nature." @hondorondo: Your better then 17? Does that mean older or younger? Maturity in the metaphorical sense is measure by how you act. And younger people tend to be more immature so when you say stuff like that it makes you seem immature so people assume your younger. "define maturity, mr. i know everthing! looking down on people makes you mature? i guess than im happy to be immature! "
so will this show up as something nondescript on my credit card statement like the porn websites i subscribe to?
thats kind of a deal breaker.
I too have noticed the fall of in-house produced video, but I have written it off as "momentarely" due to the moving and stuff. Sure hope I am wrong, though.
It's sad and true, but I am now going to Destructoid for everything. Not for the membership deal being pushed down our throats, oh no, it's because I don't want to encourage the staff of dickheads to boss around their user base.

I will agree that other then the odd bombcast I haven't enjoyed the site as much as I have in the past. There just doesn't seem to be anything interesting happening all that often, but I'm not going to be a chicken little an run around saying the sky is falling. I'm just not happy with a lot of the decisions that have been made recently.
They have Will and Norm. Go back and check out the PC Gamer mags of the past and you will see that the two are awesome additions to Whiskey. Seriously, they make being nerdy look good. And what do you want people? Invisible barriers to keep them out of mailbag videos? My God.

"Actually that would be kind of funny to see them running into invisible walls and try to figure out what the fuck is going on. Especially if it's right in front of the bathroom door.

What is your problem with the membership? They backed off on the only real membership thing that was an issue, splitting the bombcast. They need to make money dude, advertising doesn't cover everything.
As for the ads, I don't see them here in Australia, right now, and my paid sub will mean I won't.
The bombcast is a non issue. You will have 2 hours of bombcast a week, even if your a free user account. This was a token gesture to make the people paying for it to feel better about it, without actually taking anything away from the free users, or free users having to actually pay for the bandwidth they use by listening in.
Less Quicklooks right now, and agree I want more. But an office move, massive website changes, PAX, The BIg Live Live Show Live, Thursday Night Throwdowns, and a bunch of other things, combined with the fact that its been the slow period for game releases, quickly show at least why. Hopefully the subs turn a growing pile of debt into a successful business, so their continues to be any kind of Giant Bomb.
Yeh more Kessler Kam would have been great, but these kind of short run behind the scenes things will continue to happen. If you like them, help fund them by throwing the guys a couple bucks a month.
The other teams involvement in the live and candid stuff is bad? I mean did you watch Will and Rory at the after party? Prolly the funiest stuff to ever grace the site. Love Will in the mailbags, and its never a bad thing having that hot little minx from comic vine? in the frame. Alex and Rorie are a different thing all together - for myself and a lot of other long term fans, having these two back in the same office as the boys is amazing, and can only mean good things.
Yeh I agree with the amount of articles not written by the core staff.
Your last point about the videos is pretty bad, and if were you, id edit your post. The reason being you have completely ignored the streams. There is actually more video then ever at the moment, the pre-recorded stuff is slower at the moment because of the nature of the games industry (its always dead for half a year). But 2 hours of TNT a week. Daily Streams by jeff and ryan, over an hour long almost always. The 10 hours of totally awesomess from the Big LIve Show and the after party they did JUST THIS WEEK. The hour and a half LIVE ADDITIONAL BOMBCAST they did also this week. The new show coming of fridays.
Man you missed the mark pretty badly on that last point. Compare that shit to 6 months ago and tell me there was more. You sir, need to spend more time watching awesome GB videos, and stop making up things to cry about.
The site will still continue to maintain it's different and fresh attitude towards games. I just don't see the crew suddenly changing just because of the recent events. And in all honesty, that's all I need to still hang out here. Jeff is awesome, and we will remain so. Ryan is insane and will continue to fill your head with random spews of hilarity. Everyone else does their job really well, at the very least better than any other gaming website.
All in all, what were most people expecting? For what it's worth, the guys have gone on exceedingly long without wanting anything from the community, but there's always a limit when it comes to income. They just reached it. Nothing good in life is free, and this should be no exception.
