Well because Mike, despite his questionable moments, was the heart and soul of Cinemassacre. Without Mike, there's no heart nor soul.
James is was the one with likeability, but Mike seemed to be effective at helping direct the channel. The slobs' input and James' burnout souring things is how it went downhill. Even without Mike it would've been fine if James gave a shit again and kept slobs out of the creative process entirely.
 
Mike was not good in front of the camera, at least compared to James. No one even knew who he was for the first couple of years. That must of been pretty shitty for him, getting pushed aside so other people could work on the movie, and then the AVGN fans not wanting him to do the reviews while James was busy.
 
Mike absolutely sucks on camera unless he's in a costume playing a bit. He just has no screen presence or charisma.

That being said, the set up he had with James worked because James didn't have to act to appear like an angry spastic on camera.
While this is true, if you look at him in the Board James episodes, he played his "motherfucker-Mike" persona pretty good, he fitted perfect with James and Bootsy in this, but of course, there was his Elvis impersonation wich, albeit being really cheap, hus "I'm on drugs! I'm all fucked up!" line cracks me up sometimes.

I'd say Mike has put in more creative energy (even if some things are complete cringe).
 
James has the social skills of an average kiwifarmer.
Mmmhm, yeah. yeah. mmhm.

........

(Also are we all just ignoring the whole "Armake is dead" thing? I only vaguely knew him--basically I only learned of him because he was one of the guys Irate Gamer ripped off--but still, something sucks about losing someone from what I consider the last "innocent" era before life went downhill).
