    Escapist Under New Management (Again)

    This is my first post since... *checks history* ... February of 2015. I stopped follow the Escapist around that time. I'm really excited to see what comes next! EDIT: Nope, last one was in April in support of LRR before they left.

    Feed Dump: Knife Time!

    LRR's leaving the Escapist? Well there's another reason why I'm letting my Publisher's Club membership expire. The Escapist has come full circle. I started coming in 2008 just for Zero Punctuation, and that's about all I care about anymore.

    Poll: Who else is a little depressed about the content loss?

    The folks behind "I Hit It With My Axe" have announced that they will not be returning to the Escapist. (You can read why here, but brace yourself for salty language: http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2015/02/were-not-playing-d-with-escapist-ever.html ) "Miracle of Sound" announced the same...

    Poll: Who else is a little depressed about the content loss?

    I'm very upset, and I'm not sure what's worse; the lose of content, or the failure of the Escapist to officially address it. They are keeping their readers in the dark while they lose content, which looks very bad (in my opinion).

    A professional, objective, apolitical future for The Escapist...

    Well, I'm happier every day that I canceled my Publisher Club renewal. On a personal note, here's a simple rule I've chosen to live by: if someone asks me to use a different gender-pronoun to refer to them than I normally would use, I'll do it to be polite. It doesn't matter if I do or don't...

    Poll: Would you back Yahtzee on Patreon?

    Yes. It might only be $1 or $2 a month, but I definitely would support him. He's what lead me to the Escapist in the first place, and most of the content I found and enjoyed is now gone.

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    You nailed my thoughts with those sentences. Bob was a draw to this site (Proof being that we're already 17 pages into this thread and holy crap I'm not just posting via a Facebook), as was everyone else you mentioned. An enthusiast crowd is a must, even if the enthusiasm comes from...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Well, this is what it took for me to make a forum post. I don't like this choice. Bob was a polerizing figure, no doubt there. But he got people talking, frequently about subjects that needed to be discussed and no one else was willing to bring up. Even when I thought that he was way off the...
