It sucks but I kinda saw it coming. G4 would've been a cool channel during the pre-internet era. But since video game content can pretty much be consumed everywhere I just don't see it having a place.
Is Abby Russell still with them?
I hope the best for all of them, but specially for her.
Good then I suppose!
He said on Discord no on-screen talent has been fired.
This is basically how I feel.
I remember watching some of their YT videos and was like "why didn't you all just make a podcast? It would have saved so much money"
I just don't go out of my way to watch live TV or scheduled programming anymore. Something like First Take on ESPN I'll watch the upload when it's on YouTube rather than watching it live because I'm not about making time for TV shows anymore , I watch things at my own pace.

They showed commercials on the TV broadcasts and Twitch IIRC, just not on youtubeI watched g4 on YouTubeTV for about 30min not too long ago and one thing I noticed is that I didn't see a single commercial during the "breaks". That was a huge red flag
IIRC he said he had a family emergency and that's why he hasn't been there for a whileGoddddammit... but I could see it, I'm a huge G4 person and barely watched any of this and even the discussion online were dead. Just a lil too much for this day-n-age.
And they really back burnered Adam and he was why I'd watch.
Oh ok. Wonder why it's like that but at least they are getting some type of revenue.They showed commercials on the TV broadcasts and Twitch IIRC, just not on youtube
Ohhhhhh, had no idea. Damn...IIRC he said he had a family emergency and that's why he hasn't been there for a while
Iirc, back around when they launched, they mentioned they'd look into releasing podcast versions of things like Vibe Check. But yeah, I don't think that's panned out at all.
