Jeff Gerstmann offers a truly unique perspective that can only come from someone who has been covering games for decades. He’s an invaluable source of insight, criticism, and knowledge, and he’s a quality human being who always brings a healthy supply of empathy, humility, and humor to the table. Tune in, and you’ll come away smarter, more informed, and generally happier after every episode.
I actually think Jeff is doing his best work in a long time here. Even for a solo show, he makes it work. It’s good. I like the “crotchety old man” side of his analysis. There is a lot of things that need legit criticism in the video game world and I don’t want to listen to someone that doesn’t point that out.
The shows episodes are hard to get through. Jeff desperately needs a full time cohost to help keep him from rambling on and on. Usually you can skip the first 30 minutes and not miss anything. I’ve been following Jeff a long time but I just can’t listen to the show anymore.
Very happy with Jeff Gerstman's solo podcast. All the great content you'd expect from a games media veteran... AND MORE! I'd love to see more guests on the show, those are always great episodes.
It's sad how far he's fallen, you really notice it when watching his old videos and podcasts vs today. Dude is bitter and just become a crotchety old man who complains about the world. He gets most of it wrong when looking forward as his understanding of macro and micro economics of the world is clearly defined by his small bubble the people in the gaming industry are trapped in and why industry is deservedly dying. Go do something with your life my man that makes you happy! Stop telling p... more
