Ah, now it's finally time for the real Escapist star to return home and help it reach new heights.

How big is this "Gamurs" parent company? If it is large enough they'll probably be able to keep the site around by shilling and catering to Google. If this is like Screenwave firing James then that's different.CuckTurdginson wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 4:42 amHe’s betting on Escapist biting it before he does. He’s probably right.

They own the Mary Sue - so I don't think Escapist without Yahtzee is happening.

Fair enough. It still feels like the internet at large has too positive an opinion on their shitty content.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 7:19 pmBut what's there to say?

That's because that exact kind of faggot shit is what gaming "universities" teach. It's pure cancer and the reason for the current state of vidya.

Re: Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw
I was going to say that this seemed an incredibly dumb decision on the part of Gamurs--firing the guy in charge and making almost everyone else, including the only guy who brought in real views, quit--but I wonder if they particularly cared. If everyone quits, they Gamurs still has the channel and the Patreon for income. I wasn't sure if Gamurs was getting money from the Patreon, but I think they are because it's still up. Now, with people not making videos or anything, it's true you'll get way fewer views and ad revenue if you're not bringing out new stuff, but you'll still get some views, and as we saw with Spoony, Patreons take a very, very long time to decline, even if you're literally doing nothing. Apparently the people who quit or were fired aren't taking severance pay (I'm not entirely sure why, but a comment from the fired editor-in-chief indicated that doing so might require you to limit any criticisms you direct of the company), so that means Gamurs doesn't even have to hand that out. If it means that they get money--even if a lesser amount--from The Escapist without having to actually pay anyone, it doesn't seem a bad deal for them.
I am pretty sure Gamurs still handles the Patreon, because it's still up--if the actual people at the Escapist had it, they would've taken it down already, I think. I was wondering if there was any drop in patrons, but there doesn't seem to have been any yet according to Graphtreon, at least as of yesterday.
As a side note, though: Graphtreon tells me that there are 1,949 paying patrons, but the patreon site itself (https://www.patreon.com/the_escapist) informs me there are 2,594 members. Is there a difference between paying patrons and members? And how does one find the number of paying patrons? Obviously Graphtreon does it somehow, but all I see on the main page is the number of members.
