    Well, a bunch more talent just hit the job market with The Escapist melting down, too.

        Their parent company fired some people, including the editor-in-chief, and he was so well liked the entire video team resigned and went with him. They’re now Second Wind. https://youtube.com/@SecondWindGroup?si=AgYWGLqEK6GKwtGo
