It’s all personal tastes but I’m fine sticking around. I may not renew premium next year but that is more a testament to my finite resources and the increasing number of talented people who have Patreons I want to sub to.
Even when I was a teen I rolled my eyes at my generation’s “YOU WOULDN’T GET IT OLD PEOPLE” stuff and in my mid-40s I hate it even more. Thus forking and the Reel Layers are content I just don’t like.
I ignore the non-gaming stuff. I acknowledge it’s good but I have never been a “listen to an album” person so I just ignore it and I’m glad they still make stuff I do love!
In short, I love the core crew and the rotating guests like Mike. I don’t get anything I used to get from GB when I hopped on in late 2011 but that’s okay; life changes! I still get cool gaming content and a different kind of fun so it’s good with me.
I will say - as an avid Trek fan if Fandom runs ads on this site like they do elsewhere in their webring, I’m OUT. Try Memory Alpha on mobile, ads will cover at least 70% of the screen. Full screen pop over ads. Bleh. So if I do have to go non-premium and that’s the experience, no. But otherwise I’m sticking around and still having fun, just different fun!
