With a loss of people like that, The Escapist is dead too.
The pro gamer move would be to pick up the Zero Punctuation rights at auction.
Yeah, Yahtzee and ZP was what kept The Escapist alive (Pretty sure there was a point where ZP was their only content). Cold Take was the other thing that was interesting and they lost that too. I don't think they have any other content without those guys.
They always had alternate content, it just generally sucked.
