The Escapist’s Downfall And Second Wind’s Rise: JM8 of Design Delve

CultureScape with Peter Pischke

Who is to blame for destroying the Escapist? What really happened at The Escapist, the legendary gaming website and YouTube channel that gave birth to Zero Punctuation, Extra Credits, Jimquisition, and more? How did it go from being a gaming empire to a shadow of its former self? And how did some of its former members rise from the ashes and create Second Wind, a new and successful gaming content and culture outlet? In this exclusive interview, Peter sits down with JM8, the host of Design Delve on Second Wind and a former member of The Escapist, to reveal the inside story of The Escapist's downfall and Second Wind's rise. This is a rare and candid conversation with one of the most knowledgeable and passionate game designers and gaming content creators in the industry. You don't want to miss this!
