Yahtzee's Super Smash Bros he did a few years back will never not be funny, purely because of the sheet venom aimed at the guy from Nintendo fans. The original Escapist thread saw a ton of bans and the like because of loving death threats towards the guy.

I'm pretty amazed he's kept his mouth shut about interactions with fans over the years. He's a massive dork, but seems pretty savvy with keeping himself in line.

I have wondered many times over the last year or so why Yahtzee doesn't just go onto Patreon and do his schtick there and make the 12 grand a month or however much Jim Sterling makes.

I figure it's two reasons.

1. The Escapist "owns" his Zero Punctuation ip. As I heard that some other shows that were cancelled could not go on and continue with their own work on youtube.

2. Jim Sterling works like a mule to put content out and who the gently caress wants that?

Any thoughts on that one?

He owns a bar, now a franchise I think, writes novels, does coding, and some freelance journalism. Dude's probably way too busy to go full time with ZP.

Ah, that's a pity. Last I heard the dude was planning to franchise, but it obviously fell through. Don't really keep up with him outside of ZP. :v:
