Just announced on twitch.tv/pax, live from PAX East. The reaction was so negative to what happened with Giant Bomb that Fandom sold to Jeff Grubb and Jeff Bakalar. It sounds like this deal closed yesterday. Along with those two, Dan Ryckert and Jan Ochoa are now co-owners. Mike Minotti was informed of this deal this morning, and he will be the fifth co-owner when he comes back from Disney World. Blight Club and Grubb's morning news show sound like they are returning this coming week. This PAX panel is officially episode #889 of the Giant Bombcast.

A good catch up, but I meant more like: are these people worth following? Because yeah I didn't stick around once the east/west split happened to know these people.

Grubb's got an excellent morning news show that he'll be back to doing this coming week if you wanted to poke your head in and check it out. They've also got a number of shows that are a good laugh, like Blight Club, where they take turns playing awful video games all the way to credits.

I can only take so much of Dan, but I like the rest of them. Grubb is great, Jan is a sweetheart.
