If yahtzee left the escapist...

[aaronobst]

Zero Punctuation is pretty much the ONLY thing keeping me here

Escapist sure got themselves a good show

Yahtzee's are the only episodes and articals I bother following so if he left I would have alot less to do here other than post really.
I wouldn't cry over it but I do enjoy having him around.

Well first thing we will get no more of those comments posts before his video had finish. Second I would think that most of us would stay on this site and it should be fine without him (well he will be missed but the site must go on).

The site would lose a lot of ad income and some other series would also disappear. The site would be a lot more boring then.

I'd be down to two columns a week, rather than three.

The Escapist magazine doesn't really hold it for me any more since it went onto a web page, since it's not so easy to access, and I never seem to remember to look up what's happening, so it's just not the same.

I'd be stuck with Loading Ready Run and Extra Credits - both very good, but being at opposite ends of the week, there's not really anything worth doing here in the meantime unless I am bored and looking for ways to actually avoid working - and avoiding playing any of my growing number of yet-to-be completed games...

Unskippable is neat, but I would follow Yhatzee and the imps and hope he would be making ZP somewhere else. I would never leave this site, but would be joining another...so long as it had a 'connect with facebook, and skip a step' option.

....then there'd be one reason left for me to visit this place, and it's certainly not these idiotic forums. Movie Bob is the best thing this has. Used to be he came in second place, but since Yahtzee gradually lost his edge, Bob is now the first guy I visit. So without Yahtzee, only Bob. And then I wouldn't really care if Yahtzee did leave.

Yehtzee is the reason i started coming to The Escapist however i do enjoy it but it would not be the same with out ZP.

 

[rockoffanddie]

As a lot of people have said, i first came to the escapist because of yahtzee but would not leave if he left because of the other great video series, im looking at you unskippable and top 5. If yahtzee left some people may leave and the amount of new escapists oming to the site may slow as well but the site was here before yahtzee and it will be after him.

idiotic forums?

.....I thourght the forums here were pretty good actually

 

[Dogstile]

I wouldn't mind personally. The only thing that would bother me if it left was extra credits, and that's because i'd have to arrange a party.

edit:

OH, OH, I felt really bad when doomsday arcade was over. I was all sad for like, the next two thursdays

 

[jackpipsam]

I would go too

 

[evilstonermonkey]

Meh. I initially came here because of ZP but to be honest my favourite stuff here is Extra Credits or anything done by the LRR crew. If Yahtzee left I think a very small number of people would leave, and there would be a very small drop in the amount of new people coming, but it wouldn't be that big a deal.

Escapist would have dramatically reduced traffic. For all us here that are constant users yeah we add a lot of money to the site through ads but I wonder how much extra traffic the site gets when ZP comes out. Actually whenever the videos of the week are released the site bogs down to horrible levels.

Not sure what they pay ZP to stay here but I expect its competitive money.

Edit: just to add without the influx of new member members constantly refreshing and without the daily traffic the escapist would have a bit of a gap in their revenue stream. They probably would throw more ads our way to make up for it or cut their staff. Niether would be good but I really don't know about the ZP daily traffic. But just look at all the people that came her for ZP from the beginning, myself included.

He said he makes a living off of it and he's opened a bar in australia so I think its pretty good. he wants to open more I think too.

I dont expect Yahtzee to go on forever, maybe he'll just slow down or stop eventually but it's up to him. I respect whatever decision he'd make there, I've enjoyed his reviews and it would be sad to see them stop but I'd rather that than have it prevent him from having a life.

 

[StormShaun]

I would stay, because the people on these forums are awesome, smart and funny...well most of you guys...

 

[neoontime]

I didn't even come here for ZP so I wouldn't mind at all.

 

[A Free Man]

Fraid I'd probably be off with him haha. He is the primary reason I come here other stuff is mostly secondary to that.

 

[JackWestJr]

then i would too
