Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 89 | The Dire State Of Games Media ft. Colin Moriarty
Added 2022-10-12 16:00:13 +0000 UTCOne thing that Last Stand Media prides itself on is the ability to tackle the tough topics in gaming and have meaningful, insightful conversations on them. Following a slew of layoffs across G4TV, Fanbyte, Future, and the selling off of various media outlets; I asked our very own Colin Moriarty to join me (Matty) to help us see the forest through the trees. While we're not here to celebrate said layoffs, there is a brutal truth that must be received with this transformation in how media is consumed and it involves a lot of mirror looking that no one is interested in doing. Now, it's time to talk. Together, Colin and I comb through our personal history working on different sides of the industry and what brought us to this point where smaller businesses are outperforming websites with millions of dollars stuffed into them.

Good lord you guys make good content. I see competitor sites opening huge studios for absolutely no reason, losing their personality, lecturing, pontificating, and bathing in sanctimony... And I'm glad to have Last Stand Media.

2022-10-14 19:06:10 +0000 UTCI watched G4 once after hearing about some incident and it was that girl going berserk at the audience for whatever reason. Noped out and never watched it again. In hindsight that's probably what destroyed any chance G4 had of being successful.

2022-10-13 09:02:09 +0000 UTCBlue collar shout-out was nice. I work in accounting for a small business (so I don't make a ton). So I'm not blue collar, even though I've been there and appreciate the hard work it takes, I still have to get up early, drive to a place, and work for 8 hours every day even if my work in done. In other words, there are many of us plebs out here enjoying the content. Thanks as always!

2022-10-12 21:42:10 +0000 UTCGreat episode. I worked at j2 as an seo and had to work with the ign video player on other sites. It was pretty bad and the performance hit your website takes from using it is insane. I even talked to another site within the j2 portfolio that used it and they said the code would constantly turn to spaghetti so they ditched it

2022-10-12 19:30:37 +0000 UTCExtremely enjoyable discussion. I as a P&D driver myself I appreciate you guys thinking of us blue collar workers. The podcasts definitely give a reprieve from the monotonous task of delivering box after box. 🙏

2022-10-12 18:24:08 +0000 UTCAgreed, Jomboy is good stuff. You can tell they are fans of baseball first and foremost. That is lost on many analysts and commentators of the game. It runs parallel with what we see in the videogame industry. You can tell more than ever before who actually enjoys playing and talking about videogames. Sorry about your Mets Matty, Mets are gonna Mets.

2022-10-12 18:22:23 +0000 UTCI looked into Frosk getting fired, and according to Kotaku it was indeed because of the tweet she made bragging about not getting laid off. Doesn't feel like it happens much these days, but Justice was served.
