Yeah can't see it lasting more than a year. Big part of it was certainly Ryan dying, but it also did not help at all, that they were bought and split up from the tested/anime freaks, and then split up again into two different offices. Just had such a different vibe, when they were all in on building together doing dumb shit. Dave and Drew were also good lads I thought, who left, and Rorie just seems to... Never do any actual content anymore, despite him being the only one really interested in the typical pc games.
Then there has been some absolutely shit hires. No idea how Abby is as a video editor or whatever her actual job is, but she adds very little, and got the attitude of Brad towards people not agreeing with her. Jan or whatever he's called? Who the fuck is that man even. Ben? Jesus fucking Christ, Ben. No doubt the worst person on GB to listen to talk, and that takes a lot considering they have Alex Navarro. Klepek? I mean, I dont think he was all bad, but man, he was annoying as fuck sometimes too.
Dan while often being exaggerated into an almost Karl Pilkington figure, was fun and brought some much needed energy. He did new stuff and was exciting to listen to. So cant blame him for leaving, even if it's for some weird wrestling shit.
I'm still subscribed to their youtube channel, but I very rarely even watch their videos. Still sometimes listen to the beastcast though, cause vinny is my daddy.
But feel like everyone I know are very much in the same or close to the same opinion on GB, just not that interested in it anymore. The numbers on their videos seems to suggest it is an overall trend.
