[@eatsleepgames1693]

So happy i found you on KFGD back in 2017 which led me here! Thanks for 7 years of amazing content! Hope theres plenty more of you britt and rhi in the future with whatever you ladies do! Cheers and best wishes!

[@Mike_Virata]

HI Andrea, I've been a fan since Weekend Confirmed. Those were awesome times with you, Garnett, Jeff, Christian, Xav, and the rest. I was in my 30's back then and now I'm almost 50. I got old! You're like friends I've never met 😄 I love WGG! I wish you gals all the best.

[@emperorsunstrider4168]

You can walk away proud of the show you made! Even though we’re all so sad to see you go :(. You always kept the ship together, no matter how hard technology (& Britt 😂❤) might have tried to throw you off lol! Best of luck to you, and thanks for being one of the few stress-free parts of my day. End of an era here. :(

[@pantallica416]

Gonna miss Britt and Steimer totally knocking the show off its rails and Andrea trying so hard to get it back on. It was so much fun. Take care everyone!

[@akjmk81]

Discovered you ladies when you were doing a watch along of the PS5 showcase, four years ago, and I've watched you ever since. Thanks for making my Friday afternoon's ( UK time ) bearable by listening to you while pretending to do work. You were always a great start to the weekend 🫡

[@jeremycoleman2736]

Thanks for the memories Whats Good Games!

[@ZiggyGamma]

I remember when Andrea Renee was on Kinda Funny Games Daily. And I loved her takes and appearances and when she announced WGG and I saw the people involved I was instantly in. I watched episode 1 listened to every episode within 24 hours of it posting and I enjoyed every second. We were truly blessed to have you all. Thank yous can not begin to express how much you’ve done and I can’t wait to read and hear what’s next for each of you.

[@andrearene]

We actually announced WGG first! ;) I remember Greg approaching me about launching KFGD with him and I told him about What's Good and asked if he'd be cool if I did both. No surprise, he was, and KF has been one of our biggest supporters since

[@ZiggyGamma]

@@andrearene My apologies. I got the timeline messed up in my head. Glad Greg and KF were such big supporters of the work you did.

[@Scotty220]

I remember when WGG began. I knew of Andrea from guesting on KF and Steimer from IGN. Quickly became a fan of Britt and Alexa and then Ri. Thank you for an amazing 7 years of shows. Miss you already. All the very best for your futures.

[@sicariussavior8250]

I started somewhere around episode 150 and have been listening nearly every week since while also catching up on the episodes before me. You guys got me to try so many games I never would've given a second thought towards, like Yakuza and Life Is Strange. You gave me insight into the industry that I've always followed from the outside. It's bittersweet to see it come to an end, but I'm happy that you all finally get to have the time and space in your lives for your families, games, and any other projects. I wish the best for all of you, cast and crew.

[@robinrondo]

Thank you sooooo much ladies, been a fan for many years!! Good luck and all the best in the new chapter of your lives with all your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️

[@ScradleyGames]

This was such a heartwarming episode

[@paperbackhearts1]

I wasn't ready for this. Thank you SO much for everything.

[@BlazonStone000]

Thank you all for everything. The love between you all is so true and radiates across the screen for all of us to enjoy. Good luck in the future. And thank you again.

[@jd-py5nm]

I discoverd the show because I was a fan of britt's blondnerd content I've been here since the start you ladies and your show have been a part of my life-while working out to get in shape for myself and my family. My kids , wife and I have wore your merch and will continue to I will miss the show but look forward to whatever you all are up to going forward!

[@whatsgoodgames]

Awww! Hello!

[@MasterTheDough]

Thank you for everything, ladies! Best wishes for you all on your future endeavors!

[@blamemike]

I found Whats good Games in 2018 when I purchased my first new car. ((new for me anyway)) I wanted to have a gaming podcast I could listen to and just ride it out. I've listened religiously since then, so thank you all of you for the great show and fun times.

[@ILutchyou]

What a ride! Been around since ep 4. I'm grateful for y'all and the community you ladies fostered. This wasn't a finale for me but rather a celebration. Ladies, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wish you all the best. Until next time 😊

[@rockareally]

I came across your podcast a few years ago and have listened religiously. Seeing fellow women and mothers carving a safe, inclusive space for their voices to be heard in the gaming and content industry really validated that I could do it too. I'll absolutely miss hearing your takes, the thirstiness, the fun, joy and passion for what you do in each episode. You're all going to be freaking brilliant at whatever you do next and I hope that we can see and cheer you on in the next stages. You're all inspirations and just fucking incredible women. Thank you for sharing what you do

[@MikeG-nz8gt]

I've been listening since 2020 and You've all helped me through many long drives(I drive for a living) I've had my second and third kids since then. Thanks for all the laughs! Here's to the future!

[@MrFreeth26]

Enjoyed your content over the years ladies. Thanks for the memories and best of luck for all your future endeavors.

[@muppetjoe870]

Thanks for all the fantastic content! You all are just the best. I'm so thankful for all the laughs and insight.

[@_TheElMan]

Amazing final episode. True celebration. Personally, the most underrated episode is the Stiemer Soliloquy. Absolutely hilarious and moving. 🎉

[@next-genleap3533]

This show always put a smile on my face. You ladies were always spreading positivity, which the industry desperately needed even today. I sincerely wish you ladies the best of luck in whatever you do. You are all amazing, incredible, radiant, awe-inspiring individuals. I can't say enough good things about how you held and portrayed yourselves in this industry. Thank you so much for the memories and good times.

[@Fredpheus]

I don't remember exactly when I started listening, but it was definitely back with the OG crew (Alexa, Steimer, Andrea, and Brit). I remember seeing an ad on Facebook for WGG and thought "Sure, why not?" Surely, after that first episode, I was hooked. 🙂 Today, I went for a four and a half mile walk and this final episode came along with me from beginning to end. I was certainly tearing up there with you guys at the end of the episode and near the end of my walk. I wondered how it must look for this buzzcut, muscular dude in a tank top, walking around the neighborhood, with a sad face on, wiping away some tears. 😅🥹 I'll miss you girls... For the last 6 or 7 years, my weeks have not been complete without you. 🥹 Thank you for everything. For what it's worth from a complete stranger that you'll probably never meet, I love you all and I wish you the very best rest of your lives. ❤❤❤❤

[@whatsgoodgames]

Awwww thank you for sharing 😭😭😭 -Britt

[@beatzm_97]

Thank you so much for the amazing content, the fun laughs, and the enormous positive impact. We love you ladies and wish yall the absolute best.

[@irrgamer]

Thank you for everything. For the emotions. For the laughs, and the tears. For the joys and the sadness of tough events lived together. You will all always have a special place in my heart. Today, I'm sad, but I know there will be new beginnings. Forever a fan of you all, and see ya in your next projects.

[@MRBarton369]

Thank you for the memories and moments. I found myself backing away from pods and long form videos once Covid subsided, but the shows with steimer, Andrea, and Britt often remind me of the joy with this channel. Thanks again and best wishes going forward to you all.

[@metalniner4917]

I’m seriously gonna miss y’all……a sad time in gaming history…..I love y’all so much. Great vibes and awesome video game coverage every Friday…..my weeks will never be the same 😢

[@kingslayer2999]

I Cant belive they are leaving 😭😭😭

[@juanwick317]

Thank you ladies for entertainment during 12 hour shifts, really gonna miss you all!

[@stephensommers4628]

I will truly miss this podcast and all your wonderful people. Enjoy your break and I can't wait to see what you all do next.

[@markb10170]

I try to see at least one panel that's new to me each PAX. And I was lucky enough to discover this show at PAX West. At the time I was burned out on games and felt like the best games had already been made, my Playstation hadn't been touched in over a year. But they re-energized my interest in games, and turned me on to so many incredible games that I had no idea were right up my alley. At this point, some 75% of my PS4 and PS5 collection is directly or indirectly influenced by what this show has recommended to me. What's Good Games was the catalyst for my own personal gaming renaissance.

[@mattyt1me]

Legendary show -- congrats to the WGG crew for such an amazing achievement and pushing for more women's voices in the games industry conversation!

[@lorenzoflores7831]

Still one of my favorite intro songs to a podcast ever. Congratulations on such a good run. I always appreciated how What's Good Games was just a good podcast where the hosts happened to be women. I really appreciated (and still do!) the perspective. Thanks for all the hard work and I wish the crew all the best as they move on.

[@TreyMcDonaldAnimator]

We're going to miss you guys so much. I do not remember how in the world I came on board but I've come to love this channel. Especially when you guys talked Nintendo. LOL whatever comes next, I hope it's as bright as beautiful as WGG was. To the next endeavor...

[@dudzdomasig]

WGG is the first group I ever subscribed to and the reason I got into podcasts. Listening to your positive, happy, and funny outlook on video games got me thru a lot of hectic moments. We will miss your voices together and will cheer you on to your next adventure! Salute Ladies! Salute! 🥳🥳🥳

[@christhegaminglibrarian]

Thank you ladies for everything that you have done for the world of gaming, gaming podcasts, and gamers all around the world! I discovered you after Andrea's last episode on Kinda Funny Games Daily and continued to be a regular listener all throughout the pandemic years. Both Andrea and Britt went on parental leave about two months before my own daughter was born, and in many ways, it has been a truly heartwarming joy to be a gaming parent alongside all of you. From moments of being up in the middle of the night feeding, but still playing the newest game to now teaching my 3 year old how to control Mario in Mario Wonder or Astro Bot in the newest game. While I sit here with tears in my eyes, know they are tears of joy for all What's Good Ladies! I will forever remember you, your amazing takes, and knowing that it is sometimes okay to play on "baby ass baby mode", especially as a new parent with not much time for challenge. All the best and warmest wishes for you and your families.

[@JamesErrico-z5g]

I've never commented on a video before but I just wanted to say thank you. You all were awesome and it was great hearing from women about video games. I got my wife and my niece hooked on this podcast as well. Wish you all the best of luck with everything

[@TheMajorGator]

Here’s to new beginnings for each of you and thank you for the amazing journey. Andrea, thank you for sending me that care package when I was overseas, I really appreciate you and for your dedication to deliver the best content for us!

[@KURSEDSOULS666]

Love this podcast over the years I will miss it best of luck on all your next projects 💜

[@BoltCRNA]

I've been following along, mostly silently, since day 1. Back when Andrea was a guest host on Kinda Funny I followed her over to her new thing and fell in love with all of you. I followed Steimer from the IGN days when she was with Greg. You've been an amazing group of virtual friends and laughs in times I needed it most. Love to you all and excited to see where life takes you.

[@darkempire2022]

End of an era. Loved every moment with you amazing ladies. ❤😢

[@agent4seven856]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It's hard to believe it's been 7 years already and it feels like it was yesterday since I started watching WGG, I even remember the episode number. Ah, looking back at what happened during all these 7 years... man, what a goddamn joyfull, funny, unforgettable and heartwarming journey it was and it's so sad to see it end. Ladies, no words will be enough to describe just how grateful I am to all of you for all these years and for what you did for me by just being here and doing your thing for as long as it lasted. You're simply the best and forever will be. Thank you for everything and good luck to all of you in what you'll be doing next! Love y'all so much!💓

[@156489785]

I just found the podcast a couple weeks ago and love it. Sad to see it go 🥺 good luck with everything in the future and thank you so much for this amazing series

[@jakeyeager123]

Haven’t listened in a few years. Life got busy and I didn’t follow gaming as closely. You all were the first podcast I ever listened to and was a fan of back in 2017. Good luck on your future endeavors

[@6O8gamer07]

Oh this is sad. Started listening day one. That’s right beginning listening here. It was so great to be able to listen to you all for all these years. Hope for nothing but the best going forward. God speed Spider-Man 🫡

[@nyjetgrl]

I will use "baby ass baby mode" for the rest of my gaming days. Thank you ladies. Wishing you all well and will continue to look out for your work in the future. Enjoy the ride. I did.

[@Stevenalfonsosmith]

happy sad - happy to have been a day one Patreon, sad to see you all go, this was and still is a much needed space in the industry.

[@ds.z3r0]

Will miss this podcast so much. I discovered the show back in 2019 and practically binged every episode during work until I was caught up. A wonderful blend of inspirational, talented, funny, insightful, informative and overall entertaining gaming podcast. Damn I'm legit sad. Wishing all the best! Thank you for your contribution to the gaming world 🖤🖤

[@mollymogviii]

love you WGG and the great times and wonderful community you made. I will miss the pod and your fun commentary on the games industry. Best wishes in your next steps and your ownership to do what you love and game the way you want to.

[@jorgerias262]

Loved this podcast! Good luck in everything y'all do

[@Deka4891]

I'm late to the "Goodbye and thanks for the fish," farewells and complements, but I just wanted to quickly add my two cents. I first heard about WGG from Jared "The Reverend" Petty's podcasts, and was more than happy to see and hear the great ladies of video gaming get together and simply kick a$$ while bringing up key issues about the gaming universe. I can't bring up enough kudos to give the show, but I do wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude for WGG highlighting the struggles of mental health and the seminal phrase, "It's ok to not be ok." 🙂👊 I shall miss all of you greatly, but I wish y'all nothing but the absolute best for you and yours now and in the future! 🤓

[@rrice3142]

Thanks for all the great content ladies ! ❤ Really hope you guys revive the show one day. Good luck on all your future ventures ! And Brittany, just wanted to tell you, I love you! ❤️❤️

[@rated-g]

It took me what felt like hours to get through that last half hour because I was sobbing and kept missing what was being said. Since the launch, I’ve been a quiet viewer of all of your content, and someone who could only usually afford to show support once every few months. It’s been a tough year to be that kind of fan, to regret never letting you all know how much what you’ve done and will continue to do has meant to me. I’ve had to say goodbye to Rooster Teeth and Funhaus a few months ago, but I’ve followed many of those creators to their new endeavors since. I’m excited to do the same with you all. I’m so proud of you all for everything you did, and where you’re going. It hurts to see WGG end, but this was a good send off, and I hope you’ve inspired lots of new creators to come into this space that you’re leaving for them. Thank you for the last 7 years. Thank you for the positivity, the laughs, and the love.

[@tehpizzarollz]

Thank y'all WGG for the years of laughs!

[@RobbyGood1]

Thank you for being such special voices in the industry... Best of luck in your next chapter! ❤

[@DrewAmongTheFence78]

Destiny 2 and The Division were the first time I ever TRULY played MMOs DAILY and WEEKLY with real friends and lifelong friends at a level that was beyond what I had experienced in World of Warcraft (one on ones or max 2-3 people if that) or gaming in general. TREASURED years. WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER all the hours and hanging out with friends. I am looking forward for that next moment for a game that is just simple enough to provide that with enough OOMPH to keep us wanting to play it without feeling crushed by the grind or time investment : )

[@itsdeonlol]

I will miss you ladies! Thanks for the good memories!!

[@AndreaBlythe]

Such a beautiful, bitter sweet moment. I’m going to miss seeing and hearing you all each week.

[@ASSASSINASAN]

Thank you so much ❤ take care 💕

[@tomsimmons7673]

Been here since E3 2018. It was my very first podcast. My favorite moment was when Steimer was having issues with her light and it went out and she said something like "It's as dark as my soul." 😂 My favorite episode (or maybe it was multiple episodes) was either Alanah or Naomi was filling in for Andrea and the show went completely off the rails about banging aliens. I was laughing so hard I could barely drive my car.

[@whatsgoodgames]

HAHAHAHA I remember that! We were talking about if Frieza could hit it

[@whatsgoodgames]

And thank you for this message ^_^ -Britt

[@DrewAmongTheFence78]

about 44 minutes in and I can also say that not only did we want to hear all of the founding hosts and hosts since then (we love you all!), but we wanted to hear more game opinions and takes from good people. Sometimes the "content" from other places just wasn't the "vibe" that an outlet such as Kinda Funny provided (a lot of us were fans of KF at the time and knew most of you from one-off guest appearances and enjoying content from them) and that uniqueness and "vibe" and your style of content is what all of YOU so EXCELLENTLY provided. Examples include: JRPG takes, FPS takes, Baby Ass Baby Mode, loving the grind in video games, takes on story and characters, it was always the perfect blend and the perfect people (GUEST HOSTS TOO). It really isn't more complicated than it's easy to find an audience when you are your authentic selves and make content that both feels highly produced and professional + like hanging out with FRIENDS.

[@chubbybehem0th]

I cried my eyes out watching this 😭 thank you for everything ladies, you are awesome.

[@whatsgoodgames]

Awwwww 💜

[@jam237]

I remember having a skype call with you ladies the first week of the show as a patreon tier and then also meeting you all at e3 that year. Thank you for the entertainment over the years.

[@KevPez-IS]

I have an absurd amount of respect for all of you. I’m mentioned in a previous video: I went through hard stuff in 2023, and it affected my interest in gaming, let alone the industry itself trying to kill the art form. Your honesty about the industry having a bad two years and feeling weird about accepting money from fans, I deeply respect you.

[@parlC-d2r]

I know I'm late in sharing my thoughts, but I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for everything you’ve contributed to the gaming podcast community. In a sea of constant negativity and superficial, algorithm-driven thumbnails, you consistently showcase gut-busting humor, nuanced opinions, and genuine positivity. I’m truly grateful for all that you ladies have done and will continue to do. Thank you for always being such a positive and inspiring presence!

[@rkas96]

Absolutely my pleasure

I am so glad 5 or 6 or so years ago I decided to try and listen to a podcast on my Google podcasts app lol. The first one I ran into was WGG. It introduced me to the world of gaming beyond just an IGN article or game informer magazine. I always loved listening to all the craziness, your takes on news, unfiltered opinions, jokes, and you all further introduced me to other gaming podcasts and other like minded people. As someone that has a difficult time with anxiety it was at minimum when listening to the podcast. It will be different not having WGG pop up every week, but I wish you all the best. Thank you for the wonderful times and for just being yourselves. ❤

[@ashokapatel753]

Sad to see you go. I wish you all the best and I hope we see you again. And send out thoughts to Steimer who I still miss 😢 (also because bshes the only ones that talk about Quest for Glory games) And I do want to add one thing. About 5 years ago I found that I was always frustrated or upset about games. Always unhappy with the state of the industry and then I realized that many channels I was watching focused on the negatives and that also impacted my views. So I unsubscribed to them and went looking for a positive-centric channel and found yours. And I have to say you changed my views. Now I look at the positives, recognize the negatives but make sure I support those things that makes games great to help build a better future. So for all that. Thanks!

[@TheBloobster]

I'm sad. You were the only fun podcast that gave us the female perspectives on stuff normally dominated by the man o sphere. One of my favorite podcasts of all time... And a cool ass intro song. Much love.

Thank you, ladies, for everything. For creating this show and keeping it going for so long. Andrea was right about how the gaming podcast scene is mostly men, and that's okay. We had you guys, and it was always nice to hear from the feminine perspective. My only hope is that there'll be another heroine out there somewhere to carry the torch. Because what you did was legendary. Wish you all the best. ❤‍🩹
