Nothing looks better on a corporate resume than taking over a successful business and immediately alienating all the talent that made it successful. I don’t know who the jerkwad is that fucked up so badly, but I hope this follows them for years.

Kudos to Nick, Yahtzee and all the rest for sticking with each other in solidarity rather than caving to corporate pressure. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them produce new videos in the future, hopefully under their own LLC.

While The Escapist grew stronger and bigger year after year under Nick, their owners at Gamur were upset the site didn't reek of panic and despair like a good corporate environment should.

What exactly do they mean by "flagship"? The Escapist had Zero Punctuation and... that's about it. Aside from some Yahtzee Croshaw podcasts, I can't think of anything else worth watching on there.

I‘m pretty sure some greedy suit killed the whole company overnight and I can‘t control my schadenfreude

So many talented creators have left over bad working conditions. Not surprising it's still going on now.
