A fond farewell, again, to those that have left Gametrailers. Seems that this list (mentioned in the closing bit of the new and final episode of Thanks for Playing) are those that are confirmed to be leaving:

  • Ryan Stevens
  • Jeremy Hoffmann
  • Rob Manuel
  • Justin Speer
  • Rob Slusser
  • Rohan Rivas
  • John Santo
  • Marco Rosado
I don't recall John Santo being mentioned in this thread yet. I saw that Marco was mentioned as staying (in this thread), but guess not :(. It was fitting to have that bit at the end for the final episode of "Thanks for playing" and best wishes to you all.

Thanks for watching the last Thanks For Playing. Glad some so the gallows humor in the credits. Also, th Slime Girls theme song sounds rad slowed down to quarter speed. Also, bonus #justinspeer joined twitter!

It sucks for the staff but the content has been going downhill for the last few months. Has Kyle signed up with another site? Loved his series.

What's the deal with the Bonus Round? Since Keighley is no longer working under the same umbrella as GT, I thought the show was gone as well; yet there are currently new episodes airing. Were those left in Keigley's old contract and he's just fulfilling that, or is the show here to stay more permanently?

I saw that Bloodworth at some point mentioned on Twitter that Geoff does whatever Geoff wants to do - and apparently that meant continuing with Bonus Round. However, I can't seem to locate that tweet anymore, so maybe things have changed and this Quake Con batch of episodes will be the last?

No matter what it's a shame that Pach Attack has ended. I liked the interaction Pach had with Kyle. Hopefully the new show will be good.

Amazed so many people commenting on that Pach tweet saying GT has down the crapper and he was the only reason they were still gonna visit the site. Pach was alright to watch sometimes but there's way more quality on show than that.

Also I thought Pach did his show for free? So why is he trying to find a new site to host a new show?

Because he's following his producer, who got fired, as opposed to GT the brand with which he doesn't seem to have any ties beyond Kyle Bosman (who worked on Pach Attack).
