Classic Game Room Videos 2015
I think that 2015 is the best year for Classic Game Room's creative, straight-up nuts, but still informative and well-produced video game reviews. However, it was also the show's worst year for views and would be the last year that CGR was produced by the original Inecom, LLC. company. Good reviews don't make for good business, as it turns out. To this day, I'm still perplexed at how stuff like our Truxton arcade game review and Bird Week flopped, commercially. At that time, there were just too many other "angry review" shows and top 10 videos to compete against.
After losing most of our ad revenue a few years early, and then turning off the majority of the audience by trying to give YouTube the finger and moving to other platforms, the show was doomed. Inecom pulled the plug on Classic Game Room, closed the business, and we shut all of our shows and channels down. In the final days of 2015, I hatched a plan to buy the struggling company and reboot CGR, which led to the 2016 season 🙂 All that being said, the 2015 videos were awesome. We launched the awesome Best Of Blu-Ray that year, and I did a huge talk at Replay FX 2015 and met Eugene Jarvis! BIRD WEEK BIRD WEEK BIRD WEEK!!!
