Extra Credits and The Escapist Site

[anthony87]

Congratu-fucking-lations Escapist. I am appalled by the way you've abused the nature of your agreement with the guys behind Extra Credits. If you wanted to cancel the show, sure, I'd be upset because it's great content but it wouldn't be the end of the world, but the way you greedy cunts are dealing with this situation is fucking disgusting. You put ads all over your fucking site, yet somehow manage to not pay the people, are somehow entitled to 75% of the donations people made to Alison, and then somehow they still owe you cocksuckers money? Fuck you Escapist. I love Zero Punctuation but fuck it, I'm never coming to this site ever again. This is my farewell. I hope you greedy sacks of shit burn in hell. Eat shit and go die.

Yes...I'm sure they care that you-you one singular person-are leaving.

How about you calm the hell down and wait till we have all the information before you decide to "punish us all with your absence".

Seriously though, as more info comes to light it's all starting to look like a simple miscommunication.

Well, we have other shows. I have a feeling you're over reacting JUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSTTTT a tad.

Sure, I will miss Extra Credits, it had a lot of coversation and debate material but we can't have this show forever.

And this, my dear lads, is a prime example of what happens when all someone does is read the thread title.

I have read this and the other threads about the same ordeal. I know the escapist made a wrong move, but that's no reason to get overly mad.

$75000 up for dispute is nothing to get mad over?

Where did that number come from? Both sides have said the escapist owed the EC people $20,000.
Then there was a misunderstanding over the intent of a further $9,500. I'm trying hard to avoid taking sides until all the information is available.

Also because I've had enough of rioting in major cities in the UK. Don't need it spreading to the internet as well...

What I really find unacceptable is how many Escapist contributors haven't been paid

Another person has already popped up.

Our situation is less developed than @ExtraCreditz but we are headed down the same route.

I think the point here is one more of principle than simply show quality.

OT:
Escapist... I love your site. I really really do. But I feel it is my duty to deny consumption to something I disagree with.
Please please don't force us to make the choice; it won't make anyone happy.

Thank you.

There's a single discussion thread for this. Find it here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.305970-Extra-Credits-leaves-the-Escapist-UPDATED-WITH-REPLY] Please direct your discussion there and stop filling the forum with multiple threads about the one issues.

The staff are currently asleep, they will undoubtedly be able to respond more when they get in.
