does anybody know WHY exactly? who will replace him for excellent adventures and CC Live, what will happen to barfights etc?
Does anybody actually care?
^image link is broken
I’m so confused right now, this makes no sense.
OF COURSE WE CARE.
But seriously what the fuck happened? Why is he leaving??
This sucks, don’t know what to say =[
Didn’t you all watch I Got Next back when it came out? He said once he got tired of fighting games he’d move on to something else. And it’s as simple as that.
I don’t have a clue why gootecks left but it didn’t like it was his choice to leave
Wonder if it has to do with him not enjoying the games very much? It seems he hasn’t really played or enjoyed any of the games since SF4 came out.
NO No NO NO NOOOoooo!
I feel like shit now, absolute shit. Gootecks thanks for everything you’ve done for the community and and please come back after things have calmed down 
I honestly dont know how this is a surprise to anyone. It isnt like he was going to do CC until he was 40 years old. Dude is still young and wants to so other shit while he has time to do it. The FGC isnt growing nearly as fast as it was back in the boom in 09. He noticed that it really wasnt going to go anywhere and decided to pursue other avenues which is the smart thing to do.
things like that always have a keymoment.
I heard that it has something to do with a dispute at Final Round. dunno the details tho.

Drama behind the scenes, I’m not gonna be the one to blow them up. I was a 3rd party watching it but I wasn’t the only one who saw it. I’ll let someone else be THAT guy.[/INDENT]

Oh btw, you already half-way put it out there already. Next time it would be better to keep the whole story to oneself.[/INDENT]

Assigning causation to one event or another seems a bit ignorant. There could be any number of things going on, reserving judgement would be the classier route. :|[/INDENT]

And not sounding like a douche bag would be the more respectable thing. Like there’s no such thing as cause and effect. Now hold that with your Grey Poupon.[/INDENT]

Considering the intensity of his “f- you” I don’t thing it’s that simple.
Hes an asshole, so good riddance. Although he was kinda funny, I spose. Now if Mike Ross was leaving? Thatd be traumatic.
Seemed pretty obvious that it wasn’t his choice, or at least there were circumstances that meant he had to make this choice. I very highly doubt it was because he “wasn’t having fun”.
There’s been talk of some drama at Final Round maybe being the cause but I don’t know anything more than that. Take that for what it’s worth.
As to his replacement, well you gotta assume probably Combofiend will take up the reigns. He’s about the only person likable and charismatic enough to get the job done.
Gootecks has done more for this community than most people realise I think and he should be given credit for that.
Anyone else feel like they were completely blindsided? Or is it just me…
People have been trashing him for YEARS for a multitude of reasons. I’d want to give people a great big Fuck You before I left too.
I just refuse to believe there’s some conspiracy or hidden trigger that caused all of this. This is not at all unusual of a choice for Ryan to make.

When you play this game for so long, it’s hard to actually enjoy any of the new stuff
Well there’s always Twotecks
