Holy shit so no more Zero Punctuation? He was like half of that channel. Wow this came from nowhere.

Theyre practically nothing without him.

No one would have heard of them if it weren't for ZP

[–] TechLich@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

By the sounds of it their entire video team left. So not half of the channel gone, but all of it...

[–] VentraSqwal@links.dartboard.social 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Woah. I wonder what happened 😬

Going to go out on a limb and say unrestrained corporate greed

[–] VentraSqwal@links.dartboard.social 2 points 10 months ago

Considering everything else that has gone to shit recently for the same reason, you're probably right.

[–] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

They apparently fired the EIC for dumb reasons, and everybody else left in solidarity.

In my mind Escapist as a brand itself is basically only ZP, do they even do anything else?

[–] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

They used to, before Extra Credits, Critical Role, and MovieBob went independent.

And The Jimquisition if you reach back far enough.

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 months ago

Sterling and Yahtzee did a few literal road trips together even.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

Zero punctuation and 3-minute reviews are the only reason to be there. Guess i'm out now.

I struggle to think what that channel even did besides ZP and EP. Is Cold Take them as well?
