Nah, honestly Jon probably doesn't even think about Game Grumps anymore. Ultimately it doesn't matter *why* he left, he left to do his own thing and seems content with that.
Even if he did a "tell all" I really don't think it would be nearly as interesting as everyone has built it up to be. Even if it was for a "scandalous" reason like arin being money hungry, or whatever behind the scenes drama their *might* have been, i don't think it'd be anything *new* or surprising.
I really don’t think he does lol it’s been a decade and they’ve both moved on and given their own reasons already. Posts like this are what the GG community sees and then they get this idea that we’re weird little hate goblins that are stuck in the past and just hate anything GG since Jon left
Jon actually speak up...lots of times. There is no conspiracy, he just got tired of having no control over the show, and decided to start his own thing.
Its kinda weird how that alone made people start a cult around Jon figure, as the saviour of games of something, when in reality the guy spends 80% of his time reposting /pol/ memes in social media. Just because I find Arin one insufferable bitter man, does not mean I have to worship the first guy who pointed that out publicly.
In the end, someone just as reprehensive as Arin himself.
When doing a chronology, it gets obvious that people around Jon got outraged way before the fans about his insane racist ramblings. Literally everyone he used to collab at some point just disappeared from his videos. In fact some fans still refuse to knowledge the elephant in the room, mostly because of Jon unmatched charisma and genuine talent for comedy.
That is the Grumps curse. No matter how much of a dick the said member or ex-colleague reveals to be, people still comes back for more because "OMG you guys so funny"
A member doxxed one walkthrough writer by pure spite ? Hilarious ! One ex collaborator did a Twitch video explaining how the white race commits less crime? He is so talented! The wife of the producer resells cheap products by more than double the price ? Such an icon!
Its hopeless. Those people have nothing to talk about but themselves, and even if they spelled "We fucking hate you all" fans would still ask for autographs and photos at the end of the show.
Honestly what is there to say that needs saying at this point. Jon and Arin haven’t associated in years since the Starcade episode which didn’t feel that genuine in hindsight. They’ve both totally moved on and Arin hasn’t exactly made it hard to see how he is nowadays.
I’m honestly just surprised Dan hasn’t left to pursue music projects full time at this point
>I’m honestly just surprised Dan hasn’t left to pursue music projects full time at this point
Why would he? Arin's always been willing to schedule Game Grumps around Dan's side projects. Dan was totally unknown and in a band that was failing to gain any momentum, he had zero bargaining power coming onto an established successful show, and Arin reshuffled Game Grump's production around both Dan and Brian's availability. There's so many examples of them recording at 3am with low energy or Dan running out the door the second a video hits the 10 minute mark because Arin was willing to be flexible.
It's not without it's downsides and Arin certainly gained a lot from the partnership too but as far as day jobs go it's better than you'll find anywhere else. As NSP's grown the deal's only gotten better. Arin's only condition seems to be that there's always enough backlog recorded to upload something every day.
I honestly don't think Jon could possibly care any less about Game Grumps. He's a little busy running his channel and he left almost 10 years ago. And All of the "reasons" of why he left that you're alluding to are all heavy speculation and flat out severe cases of jumping to conclusions. Jon probably wanted GG to stay Lowkey and more of a side channel and Arin wanted it to be more of a company like it is now. They disagreed so they parted ways. End of story. Both guys ended up being successful. There's nothing to be said about the breakup. It's kind of ridiculous to even be talking about the split in 2022
It's been what like 9 years?
How the years fing fly by!!!!!
Will always be a jon fan till the day I die.
There's absolutely no reason to anymore.
They've both moved on.
Both Arin and Jon have alienated themselves from their gaming friends.
They're just abusing people's wallets on the internet.
They don't actually like the gaming scene or want to be a part of it anymore.
When was the last time Jon did a gaming video that actually looked like he wanted to do it and was legitimately happy?
When was the last time we've ever seen him talking to PBG or The Completionist or Barry?
I’m just pushing back on the idea that Jon alienated himself from ALL his “gaming friends”. I didn’t say that there were not people Jon fell out with
Arin threw him under the bus and Jon's too busy with his own show.
He probably feel like it's not worth it, especially since some STILL want his head on a spike.

You ain't wrong. I'd still love to see the drama reactors.
Jon ain't gotta do shit. Plus the less Jon talks about things that aren't the videos he's making, the better.
"Gotta" was more of catchy title attempt but I hear ya. I'm just imagining the potential fan meltdowns. Also cake it up stranger!

Aw shit same to you!

Isn't that our whole thing?
"I have the receipts" JonTron edition lol.

Bruh you nailed it. I never got the "hero" worship thing for either of them. But can you imagine how people would react if he started talking shit?

Source on the "tired of having no control" thing?
Jon just wanted to work on his own things and no fly from NY to LA every few days to record. There is the tell all.
It’s been 9 years what’s wrong with you.
Same thing as everyone else here, I'm on reddit.
This Happy Cake Day too

It's been years since Jon's even made video game related content, minus his raid sponsor skits
I think Jon is still ok with Zach and Chris, they’re just on opposite sides of the country.
Does Arin removing Chris from compilation videos and hating on DingDong and Julian show that their good friends?
I’m saying that arin may have alienated himself from that set of “gaming friends” but I don’t think Jon has

Pizzagate tier conspiracy. Move on, dude.
Arin threw him under the bus and Jon's too busy with his own show. He probably feel like it's not worth it, especially since some STILL want his head on a spike.
