    While The Escapist grew stronger and bigger year after year under Nick, their owners at Gamur were upset the site didn’t reek of panic and despair like a good corporate environment should.

      Other commenters don’t seem to understand the corporate ownership structure. Gamurs will turn this into a positive.

        I think you greatly over estimate your knowledge of how business works.

        You’re like David Rose running around saying “it’s a write-off!”

          I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. If you’d care to prove me wrong, I’d love to chat. If you have relevant industry experience that contradicts me, that would be great to share! I’ve spent time working at and dealing with this exact situation for another umbrella holding company in the gaming industry. Granted, it’s not journalism, so it’s not a direct connection. I feel like the plethora of holding group fuckery in the journalism space that backs what I’m talking about means I’m not off base.
