I find this kind of funny-sad: The Escapist has often gone through these waves of being The Yahtzee Croshaw Channel to “We’re spinning up two other channels just so we can spread out all the stuff we’re making.” Remember that phase when every ZP started with a bumper about which shows are on which channel? Yeah they stopped uploading things to Escapist Movies and Escapist Live 2 years ago.
I was actually digging some of the newer stuff they were making, particularly The Stuff Of Legends and Cold Take, and doing Extra Punctuation in video form didn’t hurt either. Just as I was finally like “Hey Escapist is publishing some shows in addition to ZP that I’m kinda into” it all falls apart.
They announced they’re staying together as Second Wind Group, so hopefully the momentum just goes there instead
