Surely people don't still believe things are cool between them all, right?so he's gonna join Nextlander?
Not surprising. I wish Jeff well. I mostly checked out when Dan left even if the best days were long behind them. I fully checked out when Vinny, Brad and Alex left. GiantBomb's hiring trends should be a case study, especially in a personality driven industry. I might not have cared for Patrick or Austin all that much, but they were at least well versed in their discussions. Everyone hired after Dan was a disaster.
8.8 for twilight princess is generous if anything. I'm bothered more by only a 9. 4 for wind waker.
If only we had not only modern, but historical patterns and trends to easily recognize the same ole playbook, instead of letting it happen over, and over, and over...Same story as Rockpapershotgun:
1. Site hires woke staff
2. Community warns about unhealthy dynamic
3. Loyal fans are getting banned
4. Woke staff slowly takes over the site
5. Original members leave
6. Community dies
What remains is a husk of its former self, artificially kept on life support to leech the last few clicks.
This isn't what happened with GB.Same story as Rockpapershotgun:

Woke culture ran that place to the groundLet's be honest, Jeff ran that place into the ground and hasn't had an interesting thought on games in 15 years.
That seems to be the playbook at IGN, except they seem to be more into temp bans. Any time they do a political article, I get a 1 day to 1 week ban by not going along with the woke viewpoint.Same story as Rockpapershotgun:
