@himsteveo: Uh, all I was saying is I think it's okay and appropriate for paying customers to complain before taking their money elsewhere, and that it can be ultimately beneficial and not just tears on a screen as long as 1) the complainer has a point and 2) someone on board on the recipient of said complaints is paying attention.

@davesavedtheday One can certainly argue they do in fact "owe" premium subscribers their money's worth, and it is really sucky having these GOTY conversations so far past the previously accepted due date. I understand the problems with end-of-year games being awkward sometimes, but the last week of January is ridiculous for anyone tuned enough into games to be listening to GB, and it's not like anyone was traveling this year either.

So sorry for the bad take, I guess.

If anything, I implied I'd like to see how the sausage is made. And there are all kinds of businesses that would be happy to give a tour.

I think a lot of frustration could be alleviated if, as others have said, GB was transparent about their whole work flow. There have been only a couple behind-the-scenes style videos over the last five years (the stream where all of the video guys were out on GB West, and Jeff called Vinny trying to figure out how to work the production equipment was a fun one).

Saying they spend a lot of time in "meetings" or "planning" is about as much of a non-answer as can be given. I'd love to just see one week showing exactly how Jeff, Jan and Jason spend the 35-ish of 40 hours not recording videos. Censor what needs to be censored regarding RV or CBS business practices, but I think it'd help everyone understand what's going on and be more specific with their criticism. Without this information, there is only speculation.

I don't feel like 'Copter levels are well represented in SMM2. This is my attempt to change that: TYM-6K4-TFG
