News Staff changes at Bit-tech and Bit-gamer

Personally, whilst it's never nice to see people losing their jobs (which is what it seems like is happening here) I think this is a good move for Bit-tech.

The merge with CPC was frankly, a decision of monumental stupidity and we've all seen the results in the decline in content and the quality of the content.

I don't blame the current staff for that, clearly the way it's been run by Dennis is not great. Hopefully the splitting of the two will allow BT to fall back into its own thing and to start providing great content again.

 

Ding ding, this man gets it!

(just a shame staff had to lose jobs in order for it to happen)

 

bit tech is finally coming off my firefox bookmarks toolbar, the move to include custom pc and dennis meant the quality went down the tube imo....key members have left, since then as well, bindi etc and I've been frequenting the site less and less and now i feel our time is over. Good bye bit tech and i'm sorry to the chaps losing their jobs to free-lance, seems to just be cutting corners but I hope the writers survive and live on.

peace

From mid 2010 Dennis have been squeezing every possible penny from bit-tech, monetizing it whatever way possible, now it's come to moving staff around and cutting corners.

Unfortunately those that are on the big salary probably care very little, if at all about the quality of content or how much you get out of it.

I've already given up hope for articles and news, I expect to see good reviews for the highest bidder soon but I will stay on the forums because I know the individuals that frequent the forum are themselves capable of providing relevant information and are often very amusing, some quite talented.

So goodbye front page and for ****'s sake keep the forum functioning.

 

BP more podcasts then ?

bit-tech has been on the slde for years imho. Publishers to blame. Clearing house now, get someone cheaper in. Balls to them I say. I don't wish Simon all the best of luck.

 

Hi Simon

Hope you enjoy the new job!

 

No matter what the forums will continue. However I am confident that bit-tech will move on and suceed as it has always done.

 

I remember the lot of you dude

Them were frontier days, I guess when anything goes more mainstream with suppliers selling mods out of the box that things will change.

 

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

My plan is to stay active on the forum (I was a reader of bit-tech long before becoming a member of staff) and carry on folding for our great team.

As for what I'm going to do next, I'm leaving journalism to go work in the IT industry again. I can't say where yet, but those you of who know how speed obsessed I am will probably not be particularly surprised to find out where I'm going.

 

Apple?

 

Sorting out loldozer?

 

This is sad news. I also wasn't aware of how bad the advertising had got on here until someone pointed out an advert disguised as an article, and my ad blocker was filtering it - this news coupled with the quite frankly insulting advertisments means I probably be removing BT from my favourites list.

A sad day indeed.

Good luck to the new staff. Ill still be staying here. Think people just need to chilax and see what happens..so much panic!

 

Wait, who is going? The people who write the articles, but not the ones who do the games reviews?

p.s. I only come here for reviews and latest news.

 

You got a job at Intel James? Thats my guess anyway. Will really miss your views and columns. Ive read cpc since issue 20 and have enjoyed the ride.
Goodluck in whatever you do mate.

 

Nah, I bet he's off to Asus with Tim and Bindi.

 

no CES coverage either anymore?
I do hope you can revive the site, it hasnt lived up to its potential for a while now. I still visit for the reviews, but i often find other sites are faster at getting up content and also cover more items.
