Vinny Caravella/Alex Navarro/Brad Shoemaker announce they're leaving Giant Bomb

[Spirited]

This can't be real, this feels unreal. I've been listening to the bombast for so many years and at this point what even is giant bomb?

 

[Professor Fate]

LOL at the people thinking everything was still great after Dan, Abby and Ben all left in close proximity and they weren't hiring anybody new.

Click to shrink...

Nobody thought this, dumbass.

 

[Gestault]

wat

 

[Liyfda]

This is wild...holy shit... I mean Brad said it perfectly.

"I started this when I was 28 & now Im damn near 42." So I mean I'm excited to see what they do next!

 

[Smokey_Run]

Wow. End of an era.

 

[ConfusedOwl]

No fucking way. This really sucks.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Hollllllly shiiiiit. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Yikes, I felt that in my throat.
Surely they must be doing their own thing then? The timing of it and all.

Fuuck man.

 

[exodus]

Brad, Will, and Vinny made another Tech Pod. Come on!

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

This hurts. I wish them all luck in whatever comes next for them.

End of an era.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

What in the fuck...

This is nuts.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Woahhhh, what in the hell man...Giant Bomb is probably done.

 

[Rev408]

May Fools?

 

[Rosur]

guess no more east then?

 

[VanWinkle]

I hardly ever watch Giantbomb anymore and honestly haven't since the first couple years of it, but that's so crazy to me. I respect these guys a lot. Wonder what they'll do. Makes me think they'll probably be getting out of the gaming personality space period, but who knows.

 

[belairjeff]

Didn't Jeff just join from CNET and then this happens?

wtf is going on...
My guess is paycuts, restructuring, or insurance related policy from the high ups.

 

[FormatCompatible]

I hated people going "RIP GB" every time someone left but to me this is pretty much it. Without GBE and Brad too it's done.

Fuck.

 

[airbagged_]

FUCK.........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Masagiwa]

rip they had a good run

 

[Rowsdower]

Per Twitch: Everyone is leaving, only Jeff, Jan, and Jason are staying. Three people. That's it.

 

[--R]

So I guess this is the end for GB? It's fucking wild.

 

[srtrestre]

I don't even listen anymore but

HOLY SHIT

 

[Neuromancer]

It's over. The dream is dead.

 

[wingkongex]

Fuck Red Ventures

 

[chandoog]

WHAT ?

 

[Bumble Bee]

Just gutting 😥

 

[modoversus]

 

[CloseTalker]

Per Twitch: Everyone is leaving, only Jeff, Jan, and Jason are staying. Three people. That's it.

Rorie is leaving too?

What happened with the new acquisition to make so many people think "yeah, I think this is the time"?

 

[Patitoloco]

Holy shit.
Holy. Shit.

This are the words I never expected or wanted to hear. This is just pure despair.

I'm sorry for Jeff, really.

 

[Grettir_the_Swole]

Man, that is a bummer. Hopefully they're getting better jobs elsewhere instead of just getting burnt out at GB.

 

[YuriLowell]

Clearly, no one likes Red Ventures at all.

 

[Deleted member 10795]

Insane. Although I listen to Giant Bomb largely for Jeff. I'm as curious to know where he stands in all this, as the people who are leaving.

 

[anariel]

Damn, this hurts. Hopefully they find something they enjoy doing going forward. Will miss all of them.

 

[rpm]

WHAT

 

[Tygre]

I guess all those people calling the Red Ventures buyout the death knell were right, eventually.

 

[discotheque]

Well damn

Sucks for the people who just renewed their membership

 

[Musubi]

Well. Guess it's done then. Best of luck to everyone.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

End of an era

I am gutted

 

[Anddo]

No...
But why?

 

[DrFunk]

I'm sick

 

[ToddBonzalez]

Wow. Did something go down at Giant Bomb? All these folks leaving can't be unrelated, right?

 

[Scythe]

Damn. :(

 

[ryushe]

omg...

 

[peppermints]

God man this sucks for fans but hopefully they land in good positions.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

:(

 

[Flandy]

The old joke of Jeff just streaming C64 games until the end of time really gonna become true

 

[giant_frying_pan]

[Kingpin Rogers]

End of an Era.
Damn.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Absolute end of an era. Followed these guys at Gamespot and all the way through Giant Bomb. What a bummer. I wish them all the best and I hope they're stepping away from the site with full hearts and optimism for the future.

 

[Aardvark Barber]

WOW WOW WOW.
