Giant bomb owns itself, but who pitched in to buy it? I don't imagine dan or Bakalar having very deep pockets to keep it running forever.

Still classy move by them, they could have just disbanded. Kinda shows that Bakalar is in it for the long haul.

The damage has already been done , and the evolution GB was pushing for has already been accomplished though. The point of GB was Jeff G saying "fuck you, I'll do it myself" to corporate, and the writers that came along with him. Those guys are all gone to nextlander/Jeff Gerstmann show, and the style of content they wanted to make is being made by everyone.

Best of luck to all the crew. Would be great to see the old horses return, alongside Voidburger (Jess is and always has been one of "us" faceless, alias users).
