Austin Walker is leaving Giant Bomb to run a new gaming site by Vice

[Liquid]

The last official number they gave was Big Live Live Show Live (9/14/2012) which ended at 18,653 and the community has gotten much bigger since then. I wouldn't be shocked if its closer to 25,000 then 20,000 right now. They sell a ton of merch. Their Youtube channel, which has no premium videos and is basically a backup if their own servers crash, has almost 200,000 subs with 10,000 new in the last 30 days. Youtube money is est. 82k per year.

I also forgot about their east coast podcast but that only takes in about 100k in ad money

They've got it made.

edit: I just saw the sources for 20K+ premium sub

Looks like they are doing much better than I thought. Nice.

I'll miss him on Beastcast, he was great on there and his dynamic with vinny was really good.
On the other hand it's great that he's doing his own thing I'll look forward to it, he is a great writer and brings a unique perspective.
