Wow, I was beginning to think this wasn't going to happen and he was gonna stay there for life lol. I think at one point, years ago, The Escapist company went bankrupt or something? Literally no one was doing anything with the site or the forums and even then Yahtzee kept going

Yeah, circa 10 years ago they had a bunch of well known content creators who ultimately got in a feud with senior managers and left. Yahtzee was the only one who stayed and his series was pretty much the only thing of note. The site struggled in for years before it seemed to get embroiled in the Gamergate stuff which led to its then editor being forced out. That’s when Nick Calandra, the editor whose firing triggered this event, joined. The site had a revitalisation under Calandra but ZP was still the main draw.

Now the site feels like it back to where it was after that first feud, albeit now without Yahtzee.
