Vinny, Brad, and Alex are leaving the site. Last day is Friday.

Sad to hear Vinny, Alex and Brad leaving. You’ve brought a lot of fun goofing and bad dad jokes. Thanks!

Wish you guys the best and can’t wait to see what you’ll be doing next.

Absolutely gutting. So much great fun and memorable content all the way back. The future is sure to be interesting.

Wish the best to everybody.

Like a lot of other people here these guys have been a good 4-5 hours of my life every week for a decade. I'm going to miss them all and wish them nothing but the best wherever they end up.

Heartbroken.

I mean, I’m in shock, I’m absolutely gutted. All the best for the future guys and thanks for all the amazing content. Giantbomb will never be the same again.

@dinosaurcanada: Yup.

This fucking sucks, but they've delivered literally thousands of hours of content so fair play to them and thanks for the memories :(

This was a Fucked way to start my day
I wish the world and beyond to them all but man this hurts

Good for them tbh

Thank you Brad, Vinnie, and Alex for all the memories.

Wow. Best of luck, guys. Never thought I'd see the day. Thanks for the years of entertainment!

Nothing lasts forever, but it still hurts the same.

Holy fuck. That's going to change a lot about this site. Will miss these guys a lot.

This is actually one of the worst days of my life. So much of my free time in the last 13 years was spent listening to these duders. Damn... :'(

My favorite, and most personal, Giant Bomb memory:

I am devastated. I met my wife across the pond on these very forums. I owe my marriage to these guys.

Thank you very much for the amount of content that you have given over the years.

you will be missed.

We live in interesting times. Best of luck to all of them, and all the best to the continuing Giant Bomb crew for the future of the site, whatever it may look like.

Thanks for everything you've given. It's been a good long road <3

Thanks for everything, guys.

Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Brad, and Alex always had a special dynamic and it really felt like a privilege to be allowed to listen in on the conversations of what seems to be a truly genuine friendship. I cannot thank you guys enough for the limitless amount of entertainment that you've given me across your videos and podcasts.

If any of the three departing members remain in the public eye, I will absolutely be there to offer my support.

@vinny, you are genuinely one of the funniest people I know of. You have been such a warm, friendly presence in my life for nearly a decade since I found the site.

@brad, you've helmed a ton of my favorite videos on the site over the years, and your passion for technology has inspired me to do a lot of learning on my own.

@alex, you've unmistakably been an inspiration to me and have gotten me to better my life in a significant way. The quarantine drum streams inspired me to get into drumming, and I've been doing almost every single day for over a year now. Your endlessly entertaining videos aside, you've had a direct positive impact in my physical health, as I almost certainly wouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of exercise I have over the last year.

Thank you all. You've all been an unquestionably positive influence in my life over the years, as I've dug myself out of depression, found a career, and got married. I'm not even close to the same person I was when I first found the site, and that's weird to think about.

Uhhh, well it was a good run then. Guess I’ll let my sub expire.

Wow. Very rarely am I shocked, but this one definitely made me stop what I was doing. I'll have to watch the archive later on and see what's what. I hate that I'm so behind (2 months!) on all the podcasts.

Super bummed out, RIP GB East.

I'm currently in an emergency room. Of all the bad news out of left field I was expecting, this was not the one. Fucking goddamn.. I just had to give up my subscription today as well. What an avalanche...

I can't thank the crew enough for the memories and what they meant to me, at multiple intervals in my life. Cheers.

Holy.....

curious to see what happens going forward, but yea, speechless

I’ve been a fan since the Gamespot days, very sad to hear the news. Good luck everyone!

I have been with you guys since the game spot days... I have seen you guys grow over the fifteen+ years and although this is hard to take in...I wish you all the best in you’re future endeavours... your Irish fan base will miss you

Huh....

GB has always been a personality driven site and, sad to say, with these 3 departures there isn't really anything left for me. So I guess I'm done? Like, I love Jeff too, but not his solo stuff... And I think the only other person is Jan? That YouTube channel banner is getting emptier and emptier.

Best off luck to Brad, Vinny and Alex. I'll probably check out whatever they try next if it's public facing.

What?!?!

I really, really hope this isn't the end of Vinny and Alex talking about things on the internet.

I haven't been following the west coast content for a while but Brad leaving is also shocking to me. I've been a fan since the original office, so Vinny and Brad leaving Jeff as the only original duder is really... yeah, it's just shocking.

Selfishly, this sucks ass. I hope I get to hear them all somewhere from time to time.

I wish them all the best and just want to thank them for all the joy and entertainment they have provided me with over the years.

I was about 18 years old, could also have been 17, when I started following Giant Bomb and I'm 30 now... just letting that sink in.

I guess part of me knew that some day most of, if not all of the original GB crew, would move on to something else and GB would either end or involve into something else. Change is inevitable. I just never expected that Vinny, Brad and Alex would all stop at the same time.

I'm excited to hear about what their next adventure are going to be, when they fell ready to announce it.

And I'm also glad that Jeff, Jason and Jan are sticking around. I appreciate all the work they do. I really hope GB can somehow reinvent itself after this. GB is about the people not the games. So it will inevitable change after this.

And you couldn't have asked for better people. Thanks for all the good times Vinny, Brad and Alex.

Saw Giantbomb trending on twitter and was like wtf.

Wow, this is a big shock to see them all leaving at the same time and this soon. Wish them and the rest of the Giantbomb crew the best. This is gonna be a tough one. I will be keeping an eye out

Just realized, that's all of Giantbomb east....woah.

Really sad to hear about this but I hope everyone finds stability.

I'll always have Hardcore Dave.

I am sad now.

I am still processing but all I can think is good luck to all of them! I have been listening to the earliest bombcasts from 2008 recently and just yesterday listened to Vinny joining GB and Alex heading to harmonix. I'll miss GB east so much.

I almost wish. Jeff would have left too, that way there is no decision to make, its over, let the lady sing and the the curtain comes down.

Ouch, that's a punch in the gut. Been listening and watching my whole adult life.

Well wishes to the guys and thanks for everything you've done!

Wow. All at once? I haven't listened yet but damn. Been here since the beginning and followed them since their Gamespot days. Is this a "Time to Move on" kinda move?

Thank you all so, so much for your work these last 13 years. I would not be the person I am today without the presence of this incredible crew of people in my life,. Best wishes to all going forward. What a ride.

I can remember streaming the live show when they announced premium memberships while I was on study abroad in Australia. Shocked and saddened but hopefully good stuff comes out of it.

Wait, what the heck!?

I shouldn't be in tears at my desk but I am. This really really hurts. I started with GB in 2012 and have really grown with it. It's been a huge rock for me during the pandemic. Them leaving absolutely breaks my heart. Ugh.

Good luck, have Batman

Welp...this is pretty heartbreaking. Best of luck to them all.

Well, I think I will go bang my nose on the wall for a few minutes.

Virtually, anyways.
