that chrono trigger run was infuriating to watch, because the couch constantly mistook "lore" to just mean "here's what's going on in the plot right now"

layoffs suck but it's not inherently rotten when they happen hopefully things work out for whatever form hotfix takes in the future, and hoping they'll be able to bring a lot of people back

Yeah like I doubt subs and bits paid off their contract fee from the Florida venue. It sucks but I’m not surprised they needed to reduce expenditures. I’m also approaching this different to how I would a corporation doing layoffs which you could criticize me on but I feel is reasonable.

I had no idea they employed the runners. Too bad they can’t keep it up.

Sucks to hear but count me among those who wondered if it was costing them to run shows every day of the week

Yeah, this is more of a "wait for more information" thing to me. GDQ isn't a for-profit organization, and if they can't actually afford to keep those people doing Hotfix shows between big events, then they can't afford to keep them. I'd certainly hope they didn't spring this on everyone behind the scenes with no warning, that would suck, but I do have different mental thresholds for this kind of thing when it's Activision/Blizzard vs when it's a genuine charity organization.

it's a tough industry, and i've seen no indication that spikevegeta is driving around in a lambo on the sly. sucks, but it's an understandable move

site posted:Sucks to hear but count me among those who wondered if it was costing them to run shows every day of the week  If they're no longer having Hotfix shows every day, I wonder if they might start doing showcases of previous runs. So you still get to show ads for revenue, but with far lower costs since you don't need a host, presumably don't need don't really need need someone to hit the button. I mean, they've had the daily Hotfix for what, like 5-6 years at this point? That's thousands of runs you can use on "Hotfix History" day once a week; content for literal decades and most of which people have probably forgotten existed. EDIT: Checking the Hotfix schedule, this week has the usual mishmash of various activities, while next week has the Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday slots all listed as "re-run" with no other details, so it seems like the answer is "yes". Also, the Hotfix webpage now has this announcement: https://gamesdonequick.com/hotfix quote:Welcome to Hotfix - GDQ's regularly scheduled programming. Beginning February 5th, 2024, Hotfix will be undergoing a significant restructure, and will temporarily reduce our live programming while we plan a new format. Make sure you're following us on Twitter/X and also are in the GDQ Discord to get the latest updates! We will share more information about these changes to Hotfix when it's available.

Saw this comment on a Reddit post, for whatever it's worth: quote:Hi! One of the affected showrunners here (Awfully Silly).
