Junkee can reveal that the two hosts leaving\u00a0Good Game,\u00a0Stephanie \u201cHex\u201d Bendixsen and Nich \u201cNichBoy\u201d Richardson, informed the ABC earlier this year that they were leaving the network to a join a new show at Channel Seven. Details about the new gaming show have not been revealed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Oh man this scares me. As we talked about on this week’s podcast<\/a> tech\u00a0and video\u00a0game TV shows on commercial networks tend to be a gigantic cluster fuck of paid-for content.<\/p>\n
Nich is an experienced show runner and has been around TV a long time. He worked for many years on ABC’s “The Roast” as its head writer and knows how these things go.<\/p>\n
I wish them all the best. It’s sad the ABC chose to axe instead of compete as there’s definitely room for both.<\/p>\n
