Man, I'm kind of gutted, but at the same time not surprised. Their content was circling the drain since the pandemic started, and I thought Ben and Abby leaving was a sign of better things to come once they all got back in the office, given how garbage they were and how they did not at all fit with the tone of the site.

Best running theory I've seen is that it's been almost exactly 6 months since the acquisition was announced, and these 3 probably had a 6 month retainer/non-compete.

Best outcome I can see is they spin off and do another group collab, and Jeff joins back up with them once his contract with red ventures is up, and we get the original 4 back together again, but somehow I feel with another kid on the way, Jeff will want the stability of staying. I can't see how Giant Bomb continues as a separate entity though, and I could see them just getting folded into GameSpot with Jeff in a senior role.
