Maybe Fandom will snap them up and kill the company totally. That would be fun.

Moviebob was one of their big draws back in the day. He left the company, but kept doing the same thing with different assets. Then they rehired him, and he kept doing the same thing. It wasn't too bad of a transition.Moviebob content has been in an increasingly rough spot since he left though. He was an individual who actively tried to court controversy and it's clear the website didn't need him as much as he needed them. Yahtzee is a completely different beast though, he is the mascot of the Escapist. He made them. This is like Nintendo firing Mario. --- http://i.imgur.com/1XbPahR.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

From what I'm seeing in reddit comments, this guy basically rebuilt The Escapist. For a while, Zero Punctuation was the only thing holding it up, but he led it into a bit of a renaissance with a bunch of new talent and shows. It went from nearly dying to steadily growing an audience under him, so it's no surprise that people would follow him out the door. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Pretty shocking, but not entirely so. I've been getting subtle hints lately that an 'end of an era' moment was coming when he started prefacing videos with the 'subscribe to my Patreon for the uncensored version because I'm tired of caving to Youtube's policies' bit. Hell, I didn't even realize he'd stopped saying 'fuck' until he pointed it out.
At any rate, I'll be very interested to see where he lands and will do what I can to support him. Hopefully all the old vids stay up on Youtube - those year-long compilations are my go-to background noise. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. ...

I have no idea who this person/organization is. >_>Escapist is a website that as the name implies does shows and articles about games, movies, TV etc. Their biggest show by far was Zero Puntuation, a weekly comedic sweary (usually negative) fast talking animated video game review by Yahtzee Croshaw, a grumpy British guy: Ep 1: Over 16 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWS9_nrKOPA Ep ????? 17 years later: A review from last week: https://youtu.be/Mq795_XSJfw?si=KDwXE__jbTC1cpvb Yahtzee is the biggest "Star" Escapist ever had by far. His various shows/content dwarf everything else they ever did. It's honestly kinda astounding how consistent he has been and him leaving is like if Donald Trump left the GOP. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ...
