Damn. GT is my favorite game site right now. Their shows are a lot of fun, their video reviews are the best around, and their E3 coverage was fantastic.

Toppot · Jun 13, 2014

Looks like they were bought:

Hope PopFacts/PopFiction survive and hope everyone affected finds work.

ezekial45 · Jun 13, 2014

Damn, cutting them loose right after E3. >_<

So sorry to hear this. I wish them the best.

Sucks, I don't know who.

Biochet · Jun 13, 2014

Ryan stevens.

GlamFM · Jun 13, 2014

They were just bought. Unfortunately this is how it goes usually . Best of luck to everybody.

gazele · Jun 13, 2014

Took 29 minutes for a gaf thread, think they're dissapointed at how long it took, haha

This really sucks though, hope everyone finds jobs soon

DXB-KNIGHT · Jun 13, 2014

Darn, that's rough

Good luck

So they have to choose between Keighly & Bosman?

wildfire · Jun 13, 2014

I hope when Pachter spilled the beans people were actively looking for work instead of believing the company spin that nothing was happening.

I dislike it when companies lead you on but then a buy out occurs and you get wrecked.

GrumpyOutlander · Jun 13, 2014

Seems like everyone was jumping ship over the last 6 months.

Maybe they saw it coming.

I get it
I think it's just evil to do right after e3 and having them go through all of that

Otakumegane · Jun 13, 2014

IS BOSMAN OK.

TELL ME HE'S OK.

Diablohead · Jun 13, 2014

GT was bought? well we can expect problems for the rest of the year then, always happens :/

Kasper · Jun 13, 2014

Awful news. Hopefully my favorites Kyle, Brandon, Damiani, Bloodworth and Huber aren't affected.

CheesecakeRecipe · Jun 13, 2014

Awful news, though I had hoped they were sending out some feelers for future job prospects after the E3 announcement that they were bought

I thought the editorial team would stay intact at least.

Are those people that work there?

If so, kinda seems like a douche thing to say when you still have your job

antitrop · Jun 13, 2014

FFFFffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

harSon · Jun 13, 2014

Did they have to do it on Friday the 13th.....

MoeB · Jun 13, 2014

I hope those affected with be able to bounce back as quickly as possible. Good luck to all.

Colonel Nasty · Jun 13, 2014

A lot of people from Gametrailers left? Do you mean Game Informer?

Deadman · Jun 13, 2014

That sucks. I loved their e3 coverage.

Shane and Marcus both left GT a year back.

Marven · Jun 13, 2014

Please not Bosman. Please.

Good luck to all those that were let go.

ElTorro · Jun 13, 2014

Damn it, I like that site. :-/

Ashtar · Jun 13, 2014

Dang that sucks gt is one of my favorite sites. Anyone know who's affected? Hopefully they all find work

Eterniti · Jun 13, 2014

Sorry to hear the news. Hope the people who lost their jobs find a home quickly elsewhere. I feel like it's kind of a weird transitional phase in gaming media right now.

People who used to work at GameTrailers. Satterfield was Editor-in-Chief while Marcus Beer did Annoyed Gamer segments.

K' Dash · Jun 13, 2014

SEGAvangelist · Jun 13, 2014

Damn this sucks. GT is a great site.

velociraptor · Jun 13, 2014

Wow, that fucking sucks. Gametrailers is probably the best source for anything gaming related, period.

MXAGhost · Jun 13, 2014

Sorry to those all affected. I wish there was something we do to help them.

Dug · Jun 13, 2014

Was Bosman let go?

dreamfall · Jun 13, 2014

God damn.

Sad - Ryan Stevens said he'll be leaving too :/

dc89 · Jun 13, 2014

Kyle pls. Be safe.

I feel like Brandon, Kyle, and Damiani will all be safe. They're the three biggest creators on the site. Pachter will probably be fine too.

Heyt · Jun 13, 2014

Ryan Stevens? Really?

Are there any other names we know about?
Now I get the Mandatory Update 'jokes'. Holy shit.

Ahem, you mean after GAF

GrumpyOutlander · Jun 13, 2014

Was my favorite gaming site, but it has lost a lot of great people over the last year or so.

Plinko · Jun 13, 2014

You know, Nintendo, hiring these guys for a new Treehouse show wouldn't be a bad idea.

I hope Bosman, Brandon Jones and Damiani gets to stay.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
