I'm shocked he stayed with the escapist as long as he did. Also it's nice to have gotten rid of that horrible Zero punctuation theme song.
Good going!
Good going!

Complains about mindless sequels. But his background is red and music nearly the same.
Hmm

Good for them for landing on their feet.
The format is the same poop as before though.

It's been the name of his blog for well over a decade at this point. Make it more of a product of its time than something they came up with in a hurry.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Shoulda called it Some Punctuation.

Oh, I didn't realize that "Fully Ramblomatic" was apparently a thing Yahtzee had been doing since before ZP. I guess there's some cyclical history there. In any case, I'm glad the blokes who got the shaft at the escapist are bouncing back so quickly. I don't really care enough to support their Patreon, but I wish the lads all the best.

So maybe I've been out of the loop, but do we know what happened to the Escapist yet? I know like all of their employees walked out on the same day. Have we heard what caused it?

What time is it?
The name certainly isn't as catchy and the music is somehow worse but it's good that Yahtzee didn't skip a beat.
With how community funding driven the Escapist has been, I'm a little surprised the split from the Escapist didn't happen sooner on their own terms but like Yahtzee said in the video, there is something comforting about a consistent paycheck.
Nick was fired for not meeting business goals. All the staff quit in protest and they formed Second Wind.

Gotcha. So nothing super salacious. Just numbers.

I'm pleased for these guys. Great to see them striking out on their own getting out from under the corporate umbrella.

Totally off topic but does anyone remember the original incarnation of Escapist Magazine? A slick, artfully typeset, Cinefex-style boutique magazine (complete with page-turning animations). This is like 2005 - long before the escapist forums or youtube or any of that.
Apparently still available:

Must say, Gaining 10,550 patrons in such a short time must be some sort of record!

He's a real critic who addresses the positives and negatives of the game with the flavor of his personality added. He cares about narrative in games and makes sure to place roughly equal focus on the story and gameplay in his reviews. He's my favorite game critic.
