We're sitting on the set of Good Game: Spawn Point, sharing oatmeal cookies and occasionally checking a screen as a PlayStation 4 downloads Fe. I'm chatting to Gemma "Gem" Driscoll, the newest face on the show.

I asked how Gem's announcement had been handled, and despite only having met me minutes prior, the 20-year-old dropped a bomb.

"One dude who auditioned didn't get it said, 'I can see I'm not a social justice warrior enough purely because I'm not a girl,' and I was like hell, OK right-yo, and that hit me pretty hard because I'm not used to any of that."

Earlier this week, the ABC announced the latest host for Good Game: Spawn Point: Gemma "Gem" Driscoll, a Newcastle bred-and-born gamer. But so everyone can get to know Gem, who comes into the role following Bajo's departure last year, the show is hosting an AmA through Facebook this afternoon.

Steven "Bajo" O'Donnell has this evening announced his resignation from Good Game: Spawn Point and the ABC.

Following the cancellation of Australia's greatest and longest running video game show, fans have turned to forums and social media to share their grief and memories.
