I still watch, it but like a lot of folk the shine was taken off it by the whole debacle. The tit for tat-ing really annoyed me and I think EC came out of it looking worse than the Escapist in the end. We don't know whoe was right, we don't know who was wrong, but they didn't do themselves any favours
Big thanks to everyone who still keeps up with us! I know it's been kinda turbulent with all the moving around and such, so thanks for bearing with us. It means a lot. 
I still watch it, great show, besides Zero Punctuation it was my favourite Escapsist show, really constructive ideas and opinons on Extra Credits.
A few weeks before the shit hit the fan I had actually stopped watching Extra Credits. I was never really 100% on board to begin with and I was really surprised by how The Escapist seemed to explode when they left. It wasn't a bad show by any means I just wasn't invested and I haven't been interested enough to check them out on Youtube.
Never liked the show. I thought it was naive to the point of being childish. It was a show a teenager that just learned about some new concept would write just to show off that he knew about it.
So no. I saw like two episodes on the escapist and never again.

I love Extra Credits and I'm sorry to see the Escapist lose them, but following them to another site is easy and their show is still just as great as ever.
Yeah, of course. Even if I disagree with their opinions, I still find that their videos can cause me to question the reasoning of some of my views, if not change them. I hate the 30 second ads though.
Eh, don't feel like checking Penny Arcade just for EC. Never truly "liked" EC, they made interesting points but I felt they were usually too pretentious. Sometimes I just want to bash a guy's head off with a shovel, not explore the deeper roots of humanity and what makes society tick. I do enough of that in class and during dinner conversations.
It's a very long story that begins when the EC crew decided to ask us, the viewers, to donate money for Allison's shoulder surgery.zefiewings said:
It's convoluted but here's the gist:
The Escapist claims that the excess funds from the fundraiser should have been donated back into the site in order to better EC.
The EC crew decided to use the money to help start up their own indie game studio (a righteous cause!) and because of this The Escapist and the EC crew got into a long conflict that eventually led to the EC crew leaving The Escapist and eventually winding up on Penny Arcade.
It's a shame really. Such a great partnership ended over what amounts to a misunderstanding. Ah well, at least we still get Extra Credits right?
No I don't still watch EC has nothing to do with it changing sites more to do with myself having less time at the moment so I will watch it eventually.
Got to say I'm with Dorian on this one. Sure it can sometimes seem big headed to assume what they say would immediately save gaming but that's a side effect of being passionate and idealistic, 2 traits missing from the AAA games industry a lot these days. If you want something to be better you can't just leave it as it is you have to come up with ideas and create debate on the subject, only through that can anything be improved.Dorian6 said:
You seem to forget this is something the guys at Extra Credits and probalby every developer talks about ALL THE TIME, they don't just go "hmm we need an episode I'll make up some bs in 5 minutes" as games designers they thirst to drive the medium forward just like the first film makers who were "increidbly pretentious" for wanting to leave confines of film studios and film on real locations.
Not me.
Yeah I watched them when they were here just to hear a different opinion. After they left? I couldn't be bothered to go look for them. Since they are at Penny Arcade now (nothing against the website), I don't feel like going to a website that I next to never visit just for a show that I'm lukewarm about.
