    Well, good luck keeping the lights on without Yahtzee, he’s been the sole reason 90% of your audience even existed in the first place.

      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

        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.

      Yeah I’ve been subbed for… dearie me, ten years? Basically only for zero punctuation. I watched it when I was too poor to buy all the games I wanted and I got a kick out of him roasting games I couldn’t afford as hot trash.
