In an ideal world, sure. But we do not live in an ideal world, and sometimes we need to drag ourselves there a little bit. An ideal world would allow me my to pluck a series of developers and just happen upon a more diverse cast. That wouldn't happen, so I need to seek that out, while also trying to make sure we accomplish our goal of entertaining the audience. Giant Bomb has a pretty limited rolodex of regulars that we need to expand. Really tough to see the harm in that.
That's kind of sad to hear. From a Filipino kid in the Philippines who has followed the site since it started, I did so because I have trusted the vision of the site from the get go. It's all about the games and games are just that, games. It's dumb but I love it. You guys have covered it exactly the way I wanted you to. Casually. And yeah, sure, there are intelligent conversations to be had about how it's made or how it's covered but i visit the site everyday because of the humor and the insights.
I don't care if you guys are all white guys. You had Dino Ignacio that one time, and he's a hero of mine. He's is interesting and all but I don't mind having him not on. I just want interesting stuff to listen to. And if white guys have the best stories, insight or opinions RIGHT NOW, I feel like you shouldn't let that affect your booking. I want relevant conversations, not just people who are there for the sake of being there.
