That's literally the only thing I know from Escapist. So RIP to them I guess

Yahtzee is bigger than the Escapist he could have just made his own youtube channel with a producer on the side a decade ago

Interesting. I wonder what the hell happened. I also wonder if Jack is going to go back to RLM fulltime and try to revive PreRec.

Long story but the higher ups at channel awesome (notably the guy in charge is a ****, it wasn't NC) were very rude or abusive to the channels they worked with, so one day the creators all said **** you and every CA personality quit en masse except for GuruLarry and CinemaSnob...Channel Awesome got a ton of flak but despite calls for boycotts, they held on. Instead of being a big video network now Channel Awesome is basically the Nostalgia Critic channel now,,,and NC has no choice but to keep making videos since he is all they have left...

here is a full rundown buts its long so save it to your watch later and check it out if you wish:

You would think that one day these companies would learn that if you're going to buy or invest into a (niche) internet channel/website/business, that you have to let them keep doing what works

because we've seen literally countless times that if you go in making changes, it fails.

All these companies invest into literal houses built out of cards and go in with a fucking sledgehammer and then wonder why things fall down

The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

It was probably a steady paycheck at The Escapist. Making a videos about video games and not having to worry about extraneous things (such as sponsorship money) might have been rather nice.

Plus Yahtzee has severe anxiety problems

I literally don't think he can run this kind of channel by himself.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!
