Would be so much better if they stuck to video games and left their alienating political opinions out of it. Some of these people need to touch grass and stop being terminally online.

IGN as a company has turned into a bunch of woke activists now pushing an agenda through entertainment. They will eventually fade into obscurity because of making video games into a political/ideological propaganda instead of serving their clients (people who want a break from all the garbage and just want to play fun games) the addition of tons of ads is now the final straw, good bye IGN. Update: an IGN author just posted that they will lower the scores of game reviews if the game does not reflect their personal and political views. Somehow they made it worse. Update: tone of the hosts just called half of America facists. Eat a D IGN

Love the honest and energetic feel of the show, Ryan has that way of keeping this polished but still friendly and full of news, look for to the show. Keep the Xbox updates coming!

Long time listener to the show, having been here since the very first episode that Ryan produced back in 2012. I have loved the show and made sure I would listen each week for years eager for it with long drives to and from work. The production and quality of this show has taken a dive that I no longer want to be apart of as the shift over the years has transitioned from Podcast to Video. Often the casts references that you should go look at the video instead of listening to the show but I’m here for a podcast not a YouTube video and between work, kids and house work. I don’t have time to go back and watch a show that I listened to nor do I care. Often the show will cut to a commercial mid sentence or even mid word and come back 2 minutes later. I cannot think of a more disgraceful way to treat listeners or even the cast of the show as you’re getting interrupted. At least put the commercials at the end of a segment or let the cast complete a thought before smashing to a commercial. I’ve been through every guest and every new host the show has to offer. I can remember when Mitchel was on the show, Sean the sharks constant desk pounding that would cause car speakers to pop, to the slew of guest hosts and watched the quality deteriorate. The shows guests are quite frankly uninteresting as of late. I’m unfollowing this show now but I do hope the ship can be turned around. Fixing the production quality with the commercials would be the biggest win and would make me come back. With that, I wish the show good luck and maybe I’ll be back later to see if things have improved.

Definitely miss the days of Ryan, Miranda, Destin, and Stella. And Alanah before that! The new guy, Michael Higham just always sounds like he is stoned when he’s talking. And on weeks Ryan is out and he hosts, it is a DRAG. His constant “that’s what’s up,” “we cooked,” “I’m young” just adds to the annoyance unfortunately. I enjoy the podcast and news each week but when he hosts, I’d rather spend my time listening to something else or someone that doesn’t talk like they just smoked a huge joint.
