-It is almost certain ''Co-Optitude'' in its previous form will not continue. Felicia is no longer with Geek & Sundry, nor are most of the crew involved in the show. At present, Geek & Sundry seems to be winding down on any substantial new content creation. Geek & Sundry's parent company, Legendary Digital Networks, owns the rights to ''Co-Optitude'' and doesn't seem eager to give them up.

 Ryon has spoken on numerous occasions about future possibilities for the show and how the loss of inertia would make resuming it next to impossible in that form. The crew who were responsible for much of the flavor of the show have all moved on to other companies and projects. Additionally, Ryon has said there may not be much ground left to cover by the series in its original form.

 ==Premise==
-The original premise of the show was a continuation of the premise of ''The Flog'''s retro video game segments: to play all the video games from their youth that they missed out on due to having no game consoles in the house. Early episodes proceeded in a loosely chronological way from {{Ordinal|3}} generation consoles (such as [[NES]] and [[Sega Genesis]]) and moving forward through newer ones. As the series progressed, they also deviated into modern games and would occasionally revisit older platforms. Later episodes made a point of featuring independent games to help support them.

 Felicia and Ryon are siblings, and much of the humor derived from their antagonistic sibling rivalry.
-The hosts almost always went into the games blind, doing no research about the game, often being completely unaware of anything about games that were wildly popular in their time. This added a unique element to the episodes, giving the perspective of the completely uninitiated on games that are well established in the public consciousness. They often made a joke of ignoring the manuals that came with the game, skipping tutorials, and ignoring in-game prompts on how to play.

 While the show wasn't focused specifically on playing notoriously bad games, that was a recurring feature and made for some of the funniest episodes. Watching the hosts react to bizarre or especially enjoyable games was also a source of entertainment.
