From Giant Bomb Co-Founder Jeff Gerstmann...
"Hello and welcome to Giant Bomb. You've come at a very exciting time, as we've just launched the site. I'm trying to think of ways that I could be more excited, and I'm coming up short. We here at Giant Bomb and Whiskey Media have been hard at work on this site for some time now, and we're happy to finally share all this stuff with you.
So what, exactly, is Giant Bomb? That's a good question. it's a lot of things..."
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
The site rocks
I've been following this site for a long while now and whilst I expected great things, the site has far exceeded my expectations.
The community features and databases are amazing and completely unprecedented in scope within gaming journalism.
Big thumbs up to Gerstmann and the Giant Bomb gang who had the cojones to pursue a new venture which has already rewritten the rule of gaming journalism in it's short life. The wiki editor and databases are phenomenal.

When did N4G become a site advertisement ?
Can we stop posting this sh!t already ? I mean how many times do we have to put up with hearing that Giant Bomb did this, did that. Quit making this crap an advertisement
Now we have to see another advertisement for Giant Bomb and their local fanboy Superfrag/ Marketing Manager.
Seriously guys...save me the trouble
