    A screenshot from discord, in which nickjcal24 writes: @everyone since messages pushed it way up.  I was fired from The Escapist along with many others today, and in response the entire video team, including Yahtzee, has resigned from The Escapist.  Our plan is to go independent, but we will share more plans on that later this week.

    It‘s probably important to mention that the entire video team is gone. Some of them were fired, so the rest walked. They‘re planning to go independent soon.

    Edit: Their new channel will be SecondWindGroup. They’ll do a livestream on November 8th at 11 AM CT, explaining their plans for the future. (Source)

      Is “fired” the right term? Normally someone being “fired” indicates that they are at fault in some way. It’s not normal for people to be “fired” in bulk. It sounds more like they were laid off, like the company had to cut costs.

        Well, Nick used that term and he‘s probably in a position to know if it‘s the right one.
