WTF is a Spoony

do I wanna know

what's the likelihood of you guys amicably leaving the escapist? it seems like they're going to want to drag this out

It's been dragging on for a year, this is just the first time we've been able to talk about it. We've tried to resolve it through talks Finally we had to send them a breach of contract notice, which gave them time to "repair the breach". That didn't happen and so we've left.
Unfortunately every time we asked to negotiate we were asked to do other tasks first or simply met with silence on the subject. I don't want it to be a drawn out either though. I hope this is it tonight.

Is it 100% guaranteed that you guys won't be working with the Escapist anymore, or could things turn around?

Contract was terminated Friday. Unfortunately that is pretty final.

Is there any chance of remuneration from Escapist? Can the Extra Credits team continue through this loss? Lots of support here

Luckily it's not the primary source of income for any of us but Allison (who I pay) so the show will survive. I just feel bad for any of the people who rely on money from the Escapist as their sole source of income.

a YEAR!?! That's like the entire time you've been on there. :/

We were paid for our first four episodes without the traffic bonus...

How easily do you guys think you'll be able to find a better outlet?

That's a good question. It's new territory for me. We never anticipated leaving the escapist so we don't have much of a backup plan.

What do you think will happen to the Escapist (and more importantly those that provide their content) in the future?

If I had to take a guess, I'd say they'd have to start treating their content people they'd want to be treated. Otherwise it falls apart.
