Fired or resigned, extremely incomplete list:

  • Nick Calandra - Editor-in-Chief
  • Yahtzee Croshaw - Zero Punctuation, Adventure is Nigh, Extra Punctuation
  • Jack Packard - Adventure is Nigh
  • Amy Campbell - Adventure is Nigh, 3 Minute Reviews
  • KC Nwosu - Adventure is Nigh, 3 Minute Reviews
  • Jesse Galena - Adventure is Nigh, 3 Minute Reviews
  • Sebastian Ruiz - Cold Take, Stuff of Legend
  • JM8 - Editor, Design Delve
  • Darren Moody - Columnist
  • Marty Sliva - 3 Minute Review

IP of Zero Punctuation belongs to Escapist, so that is dead as of now.

Seriously what were they thinking? I'm literally only subscribed to their YT channel for Yahtzee stuff. Everyone who bought a membership is gonna cancel now.

They probably had no idea Yahtzee and co were that loyal to Nick. That said, I'm shocked Yahtzee was never given an ownership stake, as an insurance against... Well, this exact scenario.

I kind of assumed he was like... mostly owner?

Like I sorted their YT videos by popular and after four pages I gave up looking for something that isn't zero punctuation.

It's the dairy farmer selling his only milk cow for all that sweet, sweet cow-selling cash, failing to see that this may potentially have an adverse effect on his milk-selling cash henceforth.
