"GT has come from its humble beginnings to be a post production beast propelled by creative, smart, and hard-working folks. And I love pretty much every single one of them. Things are difficult for gaming web sites these days, and GameTrailers is no different. GT will be changing in the comings months, and after giving it a hard look, it’s not a perfect fit for me. I’ve been working 60- or 70-hour weeks for the past 14 years and I’m a builder by nature. The building at GT is complete and has been for some time. Knowing that the site is in more than capable hands, the timing is right for me to move on to the next chapter of my professional life. Before I started working at GameTrailers I was a fan, and I’ll remain one. You should too.
The decision to come to GameTrailers has been one of the best I’ve ever made, and I’ll always cherish my time creating content for one of the web’s smartest, most-discerning audiences. So I bid adieu, and if you miss me stop on by Twitter (@Dinfire) and say hello. I know I’m going to miss the whole lot of you."
IGN today announced that it has acquired GameTrailers, the venerable video-centric site that launched in 2002 and was shut down in February by its parent company, Defy Media.
Former GameTrailers Staff have decided to come together to create their own company.
Good for them. I wish them all the best of luck and every success for the future.
I shall be tuning in to their shows with great enthusiasm :)
HuberxBosman confirmed. Shenmue hype engaged. For real though, Bosman's show at its best was one of the best game shows going. Dry, sarcastic and glorious.

That's great news. I'm pretty sure if those guys get together whatever they do will be worth watching.
Kyle was pretty much the only reason I visited that site. But I'll definitely give this new one a shot.
The guy is a perfect example of a lot of things wrong with professorial game criticism. His comments about TWD and Journey were just embarrassing and sounded like something you would expect from the COD section of gamefaqs. Not to mention the whole "If you give a popular game a bad score you failed" comment which is a whole other level of dumb. I hope he goes somewhere easily avoidable like Rev3 or Kotaku.
See ya wouldn't wanna be ya!
I know it's an awful thing to say about someone you don't know personally in the slightest... but this man is just awful.
Good riddance.
Now I can FINALLY enjoy their podcasts without some his dumb ass ruining the whole thing for me.
And there was much so-so rejoicing...
Think I stop listening to the GT podcast specifically because he often got things wrong, then stood by them.
...just because of his and Marcus different mindsets about games. You need people with different opinion, or everything become boring.
