Intro: Hello everyone, and welcome to another exciting week here on Giant Bomb.
Last time I wrote I said we were close to re-launching the store and…we are still pretty close to doing so! I apologize for the delays here. The ownership of the store has been transferred to my account and all of our merch from Social Imprints is being shipped to our new store partner. Untangling all of the merch and getting it rung into inventory will take a bit, but we are still planning to launch with the seven shirts from last summer - hopefully less busted this time, but the samples are great! As well as those, hopefully we can unpack some of the merch from our inventory shipment When we do launch I’m going to have to ask for your patience in getting up to speed - I’ll be handing all your store code and 10% off discounts manually, I assume, so please as always drop me a line at the support email address and we’ll try to get you sorted.
Big Bugs: We are still working diligently on video player issues. I apologize for the delay in getting to these but the video player is Fandom-wide so some of these are going to take some time, but hopefully we’ll have progress on them soon. I know there are also API and RSS issues that are largely reflected by the same problem; all of these are being looked into and hopefully there’s a resolution soon. I appreciate your patience and apologize that it’s necessary.
Giveaway: I’ve been getting some samples from our new store partners so here’s a giveaway that you probably haven’t seen before! This is an engraved water bottle that I’m not 100% sure we’ll proceed with; if not it’ll be a one-of-a-kind Giant Bomb collectible. Head over here to enter to win if you’re a Premium member. See the above image for a look at it!
Note that I am very behind on shipping out prizes. I hope to be able to bring everything from the last couple of months over to the Fandom office sometime soon and ship them out; the office is conveniently located right over a USPS branch, which will help.
Community Co-Op Corner: I apologize for not doing a community stream last week but I was in and out of work with an illness (it feels like half of the team was sick last week!). Tomorrow I will be returning with a look at Returnal on PC; if you have a copy, feel free to join our Discord and we’ll see about getting one or two of you in for some co-op. That’s tomorrow at 3 PM Pacific!
