Man, this is wild as someone who's been watching ZP on and off since 2007. Through how many rounds of firings, near-collapses and changes of ownership has Yahtzee stuck with the Escapist until now?
In the past Yahtzee seemed mostly disconnected from the site and its other content creators, content to receive his steady paycheck even when others complained about pretty severe mismanagement and outright abuse. I got the feeling that he's become close friends with the current team (probably helps that he's moved to the US) and more active with the site overall which probably explains why he finally left this time.
I'm guessing that the management didn't expect he'd quit given his history of sticking with the company, especially now being a married man with children, or perhaps they just don't give a shit anymore.
BRB, downloading every episode of Zero Punctuation
He's been doing a lot of side content other than ZP on the Escapist for the past couple of years, like live stream discussions, DND, etc where he does actually interact with the other members of the channel, so I guess he was good friends with them. Fuckin wild that the Escapist thinks they can survive without him
