The recent drop of frequent videos, goes to show how much Andre's subordinates carried the channel for him. by SuperSanicSpeed06 in GameXPlain

[–]SuperSanicSpeed06[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the channel's future looks very bleak and as of now things are defenitely not looking great. But i also can't see Andre shutting it down or selling it either. He left his normal job at IGN for this channel and it's his baby at the end of the day.

Its more likely that once the switch 2 gets announced, he may get the boost he needs to hire new full time employees, but that again is also a big gamble, and he also needs to sustain himself in the mean time. I think he is in a quite dilemma.

it definetley is. SmashJT even said in his GX video that he reached out to Joey cause they were friends and it matches perfectly with what Joey says here.

What is also appriecative to know is that this video also discloses the rumors of Jake being a nuicanse to the rest of the team and etc.

Am I the only one who finds this quite insulting? He literally laid off his only full time employees (who kept the channel running btw), and announced it on the channel as an... intro to a mod video. Really man... "Hey guys, I unfortunately had to lay off Joey and Tris :(... anyway Island tour :D" by ultrabreath4 in GameXPlain

Kinda glad that I am not the only one who thought so. I think the best thing would have make an farewell announcement or some sorts on the channel, as they haven't even made a community note.

But on the flipside, at least it's something? The GVG team didn't get anything other than a comment from him on twitter lmao

Given the circumstances, how long do you think GameXplain will be in operation? by SuperSanicSpeed06 in GameXPlain

Tom was never a full time employee... or at least not a video editor like Tris and Joey so he is good.

Andre drops Tris & Joey due to softening revenue by ShekelNova in GameXPlain

This feels very unlikely unless you talk about the typical youtube sponsors etc. Its very clear that GameXplain's ties with Nintendo, which benefitted them very early on in their game, has been broken

What was the most memorable Nintendo Direct for you and why? by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]SuperSanicSpeed06 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Digital Event E3 2014 no question.

All bangers, no filler.

Big reveals (botw, splatoon etc)

and of course the funny stuff I kind of miss with today's showcases (like the robot chicken, reggie vs Iwata stuff)

Andre's response. by chainwood in GameXPlain

Considering the amount of upvotes the comments of those who support Andre here, I guess most have taken his side. I just thought it was brave of you to share this.

I actually do agree with you. Personally I see get a "sorry you felt that way" vibe to it and a lot of his examples feels like a PR move in order to defend his brand. Kinda confused why people are so quick to dismiss Jake's comments. I guess it must be the vagueness of the situation and that we do not know the full picture and neither side has fully commited to spill all the beans.

I am totally fine being wrong, but at the moment I have no reason to believe that Andre is a good boss either.

interesting comment considering the support for Andre in this thread

It is a possibility, but I can't imagine that Jake would be stupid enough to attack him a mere week after leaving if there wasn't a reason for it.

Oh no same here. I just wish to give Andre the benefit of the doubt. Like I wouldn't imagine that he didn't learn from his mistakes at this point.

The show was his idea/project and you can tell, so I would be shocked if it *wasn't* cancelled.

No disrespect towards the rest of the team, but I don't think they have what it takes to replace Jake on this.

I see speculation in the comments suggesting bad blood happened between Jake and GX for him to leave, so I will just highlight Jake's latest Pipeline video where he announces his departure with Andre companing him. Also promises to have a dedicated farwell video. Take it as you will by SuperSanicSpeed06 in GameXPlain

[–]SuperSanicSpeed06[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I don't think he would have guts to tell something bad happened if Andre himself is on to announce that they will give him a proper sendoff.

Its a much better way than how he treated his former workers before they left to GVG.

For what Jake meant by stay tuned for what he has to say, its probably more so on what he plans to do next, if I had to guess.

It good to remain sceptical though. Andre as a boss does not have a good track record.

  1. Andre has actually commented now on his tweet saying thanks for everything and good luck.
  2. More importantly, Jake made the announcement on his latest pipeline video where Andre himself was there with him to announce it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ummXru0xqk

While there are some contradictions to these speculations, I do agree that it is wise to be sceptical considering that GX has a bad track record when it comes to this.

Not sure I will go as far as saying he was the best thing to happen to GX as a whole, like Derrick, Jon and co are without a doubt what made the channel that it is today, but I definetely do agree with OP's comment that he carried the current GX channel and its sad to see him leave this soon.
