Oh that's actually pretty sad to hear—I did not realise they had new owners

They've been owned by Fandom for a little while now, and they even made some good changes lately, but then someone a few rungs up the corporate ladder was replaced with someone who decided to make a pretty huge change to the company that basically compromises the entire point of Giant Bomb, if not also Gamespot.

Do you know what were the 'core values' of the new Fandom they betrayed?

If you listen to episode 888, you'll hear pretty quickly exactly why they got fired and why they thought it was important to do what they did.
