And that shit barely gets any views.

Kind of crazy how a few seconds of a single person talking completely ruined the brand from coming back for good.

They didn't "go woke" to begin with. Within the first hour or so after the relaunch went live, they literally had one of their female presenters play Tetris by slamming her ass on a giant NES controller.

It was on life support from the start, they called out some of the few people watching it, and the plug was pulled.

There were moves they could have made to take advantage of opportunity of that moment, but instead they decided to go woke as that is what they though the audience demanded. They were wrong and dug themselves into a hole.

if you really think she "hurt" anything you're kidding yourself lol. Barely anyone even knew it happened....Becuase no one was watching G4 to begin with. Its just another one of those things people will throw around saying "SEE GO WOKE GO BROKE"...But G4 clearly didn't "go woke" as they still had programming with women doing sexy things. no one was watching. Hell, i didn't even know HOW to watch. I didn't know if it was all on the youtube channel or what. They botched the relaunch in many different ways. This girl giving her opinion on something is like less than a drop in that bucked lol

I like it so far and wanted them to succeed, but yeah, I couldn't really forsee it happening. I don't see much of the core original audience being very progressive, so of course what they were bringing topics like this up, it was going to be rejected regardless if they have valid points (if you do a search on YT, the majority of videos outside of the G4 channels are bitching about the channel's "wokeness" and Frosk).

Not to mention the format itself is out of date. It still had a focus on being a TV channel, which isn't really feasible for that demographic anymore. And for YT, it's oversaturated as much as it is now

Unsurprising. Sessler's reviews were the most viewed by an extreme margin and the only thing worth watching. Had they launched a channel just off of that aspect of G4, expectations would've been met.

RIP again

This. I loved G4 back in the day, because it gave me a lot of video game info that I couldn't get elsewhere. They have a lot of competition now though. Maybe if they brought more crazy japanese gameshows to their channel. Ninja Warrior would not have gotten as popular in America as it did, if not for G4.

You say this, but of every thing this reboot said, did or otherwise included, this is the thing everyone remembers. That chick having a melty and that cuck Sessler in the background yelling "yass kween slay!".

Honestly I think people longing for the good old days of some dead TV channel are probably disproportionately conservative. Normal people moved on. So they basically nuked their whole market. >_>

No one gave a fuck about her bashing the audience and trying to karensplain lecture people. All the rant did was serve to make people not support the revival as people did not tune in for bullshit like that, they tune in for gaming content or rants about a shitty game.

It wasn't and she overreacted to bullshit which shows me she was looking for an excuse to go off on her little rant. Also it was okay for her to pretend to grab a man's ass on the same show and treat him like an object which shows her hypocrisy.

She's an idiot and no one elected her as Champion of Women.

Just search G4tv on YT and you get a bunch of incel youtube channels talking about how she is stupid and shouldn't speak on the matter of women's treatment in gaming. So this is pretty much them, "woman says man should treat woman better in games, woman be quiet or your an asshole to fanbase". Seriously these dudes need to jump into a fire pit.

You're kidding yourself if you think that chick going off had anything to do with G4 dying again. The whole thing was literally just a corpse that someone dug up and shocked to get a few convulsions out of before giving out again. It was never meant to come back, no idea why people thought it would regain any traction, when everyone with internet access has had their own gaming channel for the last 10 years

So they still have their twitter channel but just deleted their youtube channel? I also see that the Attack of the Show youtube page is still up and running. And the actual channel on cable tv is still running and airing stuff. Seems odd to just do away with the one channel, but if no one watched the youtube channel, I guess just get rid of it. I assume people watch it more or twitch, or just look at the Attack of the Show channel instead.
