I think... in general... things change. You could loose interest in some things in a variety of ways and thats fine. You might want to take a step back and ask yourself how much you have changed also.
Personally I find this series to be in line with most of content that has come out of this site since day one... and I'd argue the site has ALWAYS been a bit of throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks... remember the farmville series? That... kind of went no where? Things always seem a little bit better in hindsight I've found.
There have also been quite a lot of ebbs and flows of the site being "structured" and a total mess of content over and over again... I think that's kind of the beauty of Giant Bomb... it's kind of amorphous and is always changing aside from mainstays like the bombcast.
Also... I guess I just kind of cringe a little when the reasons for leaving are so personal against team members, and you even say you have defended the site in the past over similar gripes. When Ben and Abby joined the crew they did that "my first e3" series and the reaction seemed overwhelmingly positive. They are just good together. So it kinda seems natural to keep that ball rolling and this series is what comes from that. It makes total sense to me.
But I also think its totally fair to loose interest in something and leave, and I hope you do find something that fills that void that it seems this site used to...
Ok - honest feedback ... was this great? no. Ben needs to be more conscious of the audience's viewing experience. But I DID really like his "SHH" move after firing the gun that last time... that honestly made me chuckle.
I really really like Ben. He will find his way through figuring out what makes a more watchable stream.
