Wweeellll....Frost continues to shake his fist at the "systemic issues" plaguing Second Wind.
Not that you'll find out what those are from reading any of this:
Either you die a grifter or you live long enough to become a professional grifter.
Here's my thinking fwiw as someone who is literally wearing a Second Wind founder t-shirt right now, am a Patreon subscriber (lowest tier), and have enjoyed Frost's presence to that outlet. But I am not in the Discord channels which is where all of the real outreach communication happens.
My instinct is to dismiss Frost's reaction as exaggerated or overblown. However... Nick does self-admittedly go off a bit too much on Xitter, which is not a good sign. There are apparently accusation of "doxing" someone I never heard of but it seems to me like one of those internet fights where everyone involved is kind of an asshole anyway so *shrug*
Nothing from the rest of the guys- and here I'm talking about the Second Wind owners which are Omar (who does production stuff), Marty, Jack, and Yahtzee have given me any reason to doubt their integrity or good intention. I'm guessing Yahtzee is just "let me do my videos and stuff and leave me alone" so whatever. Jack Packard is the "self-appointed HR" that Frost is talking about (Jack has explained this via Patreon feed).
Basically, they and Nick explained that they gave him like an intervention on his social media behavior, with Nick agreeing it was valid and a commitment to do better which has been the case for like a month or so. At this point, not knowing anything about Nick's life before Escapist, I'm down for giving the dude the benefit of the doubt, he screwed up, social media has definitely made better people behavior worse, and leave it at that.
If Frost makes a video proving serious asshole behavior with Nick that would mean the rest of the dudes are ok with it and it would change my mind I guess, I'm open to it, but it would be pretty surprising because it would also essentially condemn the whole team. I mean it would mean the Nick is this jerk of a boss and yet all these dudes went on the line to start a whole company with him... it feels like a stretch. But who knows *shrug*
