VinWarrior Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 This is some sad news to report on ladies and gentlemen. Rev3 Games, a famous gaming and entertainment hub on YouTube, is shutting down for good. If you all remember, several months ago an intelligent, well versed, and overall well respected games journalist by the name of Adam Sessler left Rev3 Games, an gaming hub on YouTube, taking with him the channel's momentum and a large portion of it's fanbase. And now, we're unfortunately on the day when Rev3 Games shuts down for good, with Tara Long and Nick Robinson, two other major channel figureheads, saying goodbye on the channel's YouTube.com. So why is this news, after all, it's just a YouTube channel? Well, that's just it, it was a YouTube channel, but with so many influential figures in the industry and a large hold on gaming itself with level-headed people voicing their opinions, be they right or wrong, it was still a prodigious part of the industry. And with the sad loss of this amazing group of people, I feel as though Gaming Journalism as a whole is beginning to lose it's grip, with this being just the beginning. We can speculate, and argue about this, about what they were and why they're leaving, but is that really what Sessler or Long or Robinson even would want to be left off on as their final note? Likely not, so for now, let's just remember all the good Rev3 Games did for the gaming world, and share a moment of sadness for the loss of a great group of individuals. Best of luck to the Rev3 team, they're talented people and I wish them the best. As you could likely tell, this means a lot to me as an amateur Games Journalist myself, working on this site. Journalism and gaming are my passions, and these are some individuals I looked up to for inspiration, to see them leave is very sad. But if the moderators or anyone else feels this isn't 'news', you can go ahead and report it/remove it. What are your thoughts on this whole thing? Let me know down below folks. Thanks a lot for reading, see you all next time. Take care, and good luck Tara, Nick, Adam, and everyone else that was on the team.

Caboose The Ace Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 ^ I feel really evil now! Sthap with the compliments please..... you do me too much honour. Besides, that is pretty much what happen. Rev3 games became "The Adam sessler show" and when he left, the show died. So Rev3 games never really had a chance ( by itself without Adam being the star of the channel ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONI Agent Locke Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah, I watched Rev3 Games a lot when Adam joined. When he left, I stopped, because I wasn't really interested. I liked Adam for his calm, objective approach to games and gaming news. I remember he got a lot of flak last year because when he'd discuss the Xbox vs. PlayStation situation, he wasn't a totally biased PlayStation fanboy, and so people disliked him. They also disliked him for not being a raving animal whenever some big controversy happened. Although part of the problem is just branding. "Rev3 Games" sounds odd. Rev3? Not a business that's easy to market in any way. Imagine having a plumbing business called "Tek6 Plumbing." Not gonna catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
