"We regret The A.V. Club couldn't be a home to expanded video games coverage once again, reflecting the company's shift away from gaming to focus on its core strengths."
"EndlessMode.com will expand on the industry-leading games content produced by Paste Games under Garrett Martin's leadership, but this initiative was short-lived and folded back into The A.V. Club."
"Games are big business. More importantly, though, they're as vital to the culture and to people's lives today as movies, TV, music, or any of the other mediums and art forms covered by The A.V. Club."
"The A.V. Club made the difficult decision to eliminate three roles, which included two full-time staff who ran our video games coverage after joining us from Endless Mode."
The A.V. Club has laid off its full-time gaming editors as it shifts focus back to movies and TV. This decision follows a series of missteps by Paste Media, which had previously attempted to expand gaming coverage through the Endless Mode brand. Despite the potential of gaming as a cultural medium, the current leadership at The A.V. Club no longer prioritizes it. The layoffs include Garrett Martin and Elijah Gonzalez, who were instrumental in the gaming coverage.
