Here we are, 17 years after a bunch of clueless suits fucked with GameSpot and led to the creation of Giant Bomb. Now it's a whole new set of clueless suits fucking with Giant Bomb. It's the circle of capitalism.

I was in deep for GB until the Nextlander split and slowly trailed off since then. I still have mad respect for that group and follow most of them in one way or another. This is a new level of dire for them.

The Giant Bomb Preservation Project still appears to be active so... at least there's that I guess.

It's looking like GB is now dead. At the very least, I'm confident I'll continue to get Blight Club and Jeff's news show, even though they won't be at a site called Giant Bomb. Hopefully everyone else found a place where they can land on their feet. Their personal brands are stronger than Fandom's.

Atari fucked its developers, who left to found Activision.

Activision fucked its developers, who left to found Accolade.

Time is a flat circle.
