| - Website was bought by new owners
- Owners wanted to hire a bunch more people to grow the site fast and juice their profits - Editor-in-chief Nick Calandra warned the owners that that kind of high-speed growth was not sustainable and would backfire - Owners did it anyway - Owners found that they weren't making enough new money to offset the new hires, just as Nick had predicted - Owners wanted the creators to start making more videos per creator, essentially pushing them into "crunch mode" to prop up their hiring binge - Nick fought this on the grounds that quality would suffer - Nick was fired, presumably for his pushback - Other people were fired as well (this includes Jack), either for similar pushback or financial reasons (unclear) - People who weren't fired (e.g. Darren Mooney, Yahtzee Croshaw) chose to resign because they didn't like what the owners did / they trusted Nick more than the owners - All the Escapist refugees are currently plotting their next move, and some of them may band together on a new project |
