Originally Published 2 years ago — by Forbes
The Escapist, a gaming site, has faced mass resignations after firing its Editor-in-Chief (EIC), Nick Calandra, for allegedly not meeting goals set by its parent company, Gamurs. Following Calandra's dismissal, staff members, contributors, and producers announced their departure from the site, with many indicating they would be working on a new project with Calandra. This resulted in the complete removal of The Escapist's video department, including the departure of Yahtzee Croshaw, the voice of the popular game criticism series, Zero Punctuation. The future of The Escapist remains uncertain without its old team or the iconic Yahtzee.
