GameTrailers Is Closing Down After 13 Years

As a gamer, i don't know why anyone would watch their stuff. It is slow, boring and uninformative. Many of their videos are just them talking over trailers, which means they talk over the one piece in game advertisement that usually contains the most lies about the product. There's also horrible editing. Just watch the first minute of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1kwXSkkk90 Over half of that could easily be cut. Or this: https://youtu.be/rnL76a2c2VA?t=266 He starts talking about how excited he is, while showing literaly no excitement whatsoever.

Are the "Trailer Score" videos literally them giving trailers scores?!

damn, their audio sucks in the first vid you shared, way too long and verbose. I think they didn't really spend any time on it. That said, they have 500000 yt subs. I would figure out a way to keep it up rather than just shut down.

That's the problem though. After half a million youtube videos they should have the taste to make decent videos, but apparently they don't.
