New gaming site launched by ex gamespot employee's Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis, giantbomb.com

Jeff Gerstmann writes "Welcome to Giant Bomb: It's sort of like Alien 3: The Gun, only with more explosions and less track. After working on this in secret for as long as we have been, it's totally exciting to be able to finally let you in on what we've been doing"

the site is still under construction so dont be bashing for there being no Wii section.

Most excellent news. I will be sure to add that to the list of my new top rated sites. Great job Jeff.

Good idea, but man what an awful domain name. He should have bought one of mine that I don't use.. AgentGame.com ... Okay maybe that's not the best domain name either... lol

I'm glad to see these guys are back into it going strong. I hope they get a lot of support.

I have already taken gamespot out of my list of gaming sites and this will make a good replacement.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 8h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 7h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
