In case this is read just wanted to chime in and say that I am essentially in mourning over Giant Bomb and what it represents to me, especially the Beastcast. At the same time I hope that Alex, Vinny and Brad will get to find something new to be excited about, whether public facing or private.

With all this said, Jeff's statement and knowing that Jan, Jason, Rorie and Jeff Bakalar are still on board is making me optimistic about the future of Giant Bomb - for sure something that will be different and I don't know how (or whether) I will connect with it emotionally, but something new. There is literally no one better in the world than a committed Jeff Gerstmann to point this thing in new directions - I am taking his comments about the future at face value because hoping for the best makes the most sense to me (but I am downloading stuff in preparation for the worst, fyi). Giant Bomb is its people, and there is no one I trust more to know who fits in to GB, and who can push it forward, more than Jeff. I am particularly excited about the possibility of a more diverse staff.

I coincidentally re-upped my premium for a year a few hours before the announcement and I am sticking around to see what's next. Best of luck to everyone leaving! Best of luck to Jeff and the remaining staff on the task ahead!

Thank you Alex, Brad, Vinny. It is hard to really overstate just how much of an impact you had on my ability to keep my shit together. The work you've done here is monumental, and it will be remembered for a long, long time. You have all brought so much joy to so many people, please remember this and be proud. Hope you're reading all the wonderful comments people are leaving you, to confirm what we all know. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I will miss Abby a lot on this site, she brought such great energy to every podcast and video she's been in here. Wishing you all the best in your future Abby and hoping you will find a new fulfilling job very soon!

Damn, love to equate an underrepesented, marginalised, oppressed ethnicity/race with a group of people who decided that carrying a gun would be cool, and 40 percent of whom abuse someone in their family, galaxy brains out here.

Oh damn, I thought the reasons were hundreds of years of racist oppression and an unaccountable militarised police force that is chock full of white supremacists, but yea, maybe you're right, maybe it's.... SEMANTICS! Damn those semantics, All Semantics Are Bastards

Fuck yea Abby is right, ACAB

Awesome! It's really cool to see the video Bombcast evolving.

I would say that personally all these changes look neat, but to echo a GentlemanlyGentleman, the splitscreen makes more sense whenever there are more people, if it's just two or three + Jan then a wider shot/cuts to Jan when he's talking seems to make more sense.

This is excellent work sir.
