As far as I am concerned Nextlander is the spiritual successor to Giant Bomb.

Well, that's how they started out so it's just back to basics.

reply

sephoris.bsky.social•1 day ago

Eh, not really. GB was certainly more independent than most gaming media at the time, but they were still ultimately owned by Whiskey Media and they ultimately got fucked over because Whiskey's owners decided to sell.

reply

pilotfive.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why is everyone forgetting the Sausalito office, it was literally 4 guys at the beginning. Whiskey Media came second.
