I've been using the premium sale as kind of a tip jar for the site for the last few years, I'm not necessarily loving all the premium content but I understand it all can't cater to me. I like enough that it makes it worth it to me.
Yes, This!
If there were no premium subscribers I doubt Giant Bomb would be a thing able to produce the free stuff it does. And like Jeff has said multiple times, if he likes a free to play game and plays it enough, he buys something to reward the people who made the game. I see giant bomb in the same way, shit the podcasts alone are worth the money, the extra stuff I just see as a bonus. But i'm here to keep this train rolling.
Edited to add that I'm an adult with a full time job that pays well, so I have the disposable income. I get if you don't have it. But for me it's worth it.
I'm not bothered because I grew up in the c64 era so i'm used to those things not matching at all. I don't agree that Bravely Default looks bad though, it's a stylistic choice. It's not great looking either, but pretty far from bad
Honestly, it surprises me that Giant Bomb doesn't use a points system, based on list order, to determine the entire sites GOTY Top Ten List, like you've done here. It would save so much unnecessary BS and talking in circles every year.
I mean, I think the discussion is the interesting part. I don't really need a top ten, ordered or otherwise, but I'm also the kind of person who prefers scoreless reviews.
But the statistics nerd in me appriciates the work gone into these lists
Nooooooooooooooo! Dammit, the second she got youtube famous with St. Vincent se was outta here. More seriously, Abby you'll be missed, you brought a fresh perspective and a lot of fun energy and showed me a world of Nancy Drew I never knew existed, and I've read most of the books. Best of luck, and I hope to see more of you somewhere else, streaming Fortnite with Bjork
