A screenshot from discord, in which nickjcal24 writes: @everyone since messages pushed it way up.  I was fired from The Escapist along with many others today, and in response the entire video team, including Yahtzee, has resigned from The Escapist.  Our plan is to go independent, but we will share more plans on that later this week.

It‘s probably important to mention that the entire video team is gone. Some of them were fired, so the rest walked. They‘re planning to go independent soon.

Edit: Their new channel will be SecondWindGroup. They'll do a livestream on November 8th at 11 AM CT, explaining their plans for the future. (Source)

Imagine if Dropout picked them up

[-] ech@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I love Dropout, but consolidating everything under one roof is just not a good idea. Not only are they different teams with different sensibilities, but it's an unstable industry and if the company with all the "good" content happened to fail, that'd be a disaster.
