The only reason you are doing this is to draw attention to yourself. I get that people have to give up their premium subscriptions because of changing circumstances in their life and unexpected financial hardship. You are going about it in a melodramatic way and I find it off-putting. Giant Bomb as a website is like everything else in life. It evolves and changes. People come and go. I miss the Whiskey Media days too but it is foolish to expects things to be the same for ten years.

For someone who has been a subscriber for ten years such as yourself. You are not a very active user on the site. Your last forum post was four years ago and your last blog post was ten years. The community is not exactly going to notice your absence. You are not being held against your will. The Giant Bomb community has a good open door policy. You can come and go as you like. You will always be welcomed with open arms if you decide to come back. Seriously, don't expect to be rewarded with a trophy or get a parade for leaving.

Good day/evening.

No offence to half the people in this thread, but I think neither the staff nor the community needs to hear your business plan for how GB could transition to Patreon, YouTube, or back to startup website mode.

If any part of the Giant Bomb or CNet organization ends up being affected by layoffs, that will be a sad day, and it’s already been sad to hear of the Gamespot layoffs, but I don’t think it’s productive to go off on this wild presumptive tangent where you treat the closure of GB as some forgone conclusion. It’s not a foregone conclusion, and if it does come to pass then the staff will handle it as best they can. But how about we give the CBSi staff some respect and not wildly speculate how they should handle their professional lives if they lose their job. That’s really not the audience’s place here.

This pretty much says what needs to be said. We are just going to wait and see what happens. The constant speculation of what is going to happen or how GB goes about their business is not helpful. Things change and we are going to have to deal with it one way or another.

I remember the teaser trailer for the Splinter Cell movie in Chaos Theory. At one point Tom Handy was attached to play as Sam in 2013. Other that directorial turnover, no news since 2017. I don't know how Ubisoft made popular games like Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed into terrible film adaptations. The series is in need of a comeback and I wouldn't mind Elias Toufexis was the voice of Sam Fisher.

If Alex wants to play Andromeda, that is up to him. I am not going to be upset if he doesn't. It has some pretty visuals, decent combat and has its moments. There are technical problems. The animation were kinda fixed but some side quest are broken. The main problem is that the previous trilogy set such a high bar in terms of world building and story telling. Mass Effect: Andromeda represents current Bioware. A shell of their former self. I wouldn't mind if Alex played the first Dragon Age or KOTOR.

Of all the choices, burgers are the safe bet. Especially in foreign countries. Just to get a taste of their interpretation of a burger. I am disappointed you don't have listed BBQ or fried chicken.

The Alamo Drafthouse. I can buy food and beer. They have assigned seating and their special events are cool. The one thing I like the most is that anybody talking or playing with their phones during the movie get kick out of the theater.

Toss up between Do they know it's Christmas? by Band Aid and You got it (The Right stuff) by The New Kids on the Block.

It has been trending that way for a few years now. GB has collected enough data on how people use the website. It did not seem feasible for the staff to spend so much time writing a well thought out review only for users to skip straight to the numerical score. I get more information out of the quick look and the bombcast. I wouldn't mind if Jeff, Alex and Brad would publish a written feature once in a while. I think the user written blogs are nice alternative.
