I liked G4 way back, it was cool so I was glad it came back. It's too bad it didn't work out, but this is literally what they asked for by telling people not to watch if they don't agree with their politics, and so they got it. If they just fired Frosk and Sessler they might've had a chance.

It used to be a pretty lighthearted kind of channel with fun co-hosts, and good shows. Aside from the main shows like Attack of the Show and X-Play they also had a good mix of different types of content. The Code Monkeys cartoon, Icons which was probably one of the earliest video game documentaries, and non-gaming stuff like Ninja Warrior and some anime.

Maybe they can restructure and try again eventually, in some way, shape, or form. Hopefully if they do, they remember to hire entertainers and not arrogant woke ideologues.

^They *did* fire Frosk, so clearly she wasn't the issue. And Sessler is an entertainer & a respected game critic. And no politics on the forums anymore.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

They did fire her, but too late for G4, unfortunately. Sessler is neither respected nor respectable, openly wishing death upon his own family and viewers he disagrees with ensures that.

Nobody is talking politics. It's impossible to discuss the failure of G4 without touching on the reasons why it failed, it's a known fact her infamous rant drove people away. We don't need to discuss the contents of her views to acknowledge the fact of the matter, and I don't intend to.
