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.

It's more like 100%. The escapist is yahtzee. Was, rather. Now it's a logo, a url, and a back catalog.

On the bright side, the entire team has banded together to launch "Second Wind". Their new discord is popping and there will be a livestream tomorrow detailing the team's plan going forward

Good scoop, you, thanks!

Gonna be honest, since it seemed like Yahtzee was the only one who pulled in views I kind of always assumed he was like the channel owner? You know "Yahtzee's shenanigans and he funds his friends trying to do stuff hoping something will stick"

But I'm just a super casual but long term watcher. I watch every zero punctuation, and like... yeah that's it. Been doing that for a decade.

Wild they managed to piss off the reason people care about them.
