Not gonna leave this site no matter who else leaves. Forum after forum filled with trash and I finally stumble upon this shining gem. Its what drew me in and though many of the good old users that made the forum such a blast back then have left new people have stepped in to take their place. This site could have no content other than an off topic forum and I would still be here.
So no, as brilliant as I find Yahtzee's brand of humor he is not the reason I am here and his eventual leaving will not make me abandon ship.

I would still follow the escapist, but it would really suck to see ZP stop, cuz it's funny, and I enjoy watching it.
Otherwise though, the LRR crew is doin a buncha shit here, so I watch their stuff, and moviebob is cool so I watch his stuff too, and miracle of sound is cool, so there's that too, and there's the forum part, where I read people posts and sometimes reply to them or post in threads, like I'm doing here...
So no, I wouldn't stop followin the site, I would be sad to see it stop though.

I look forward to ZP weekly and so does my fiancé - in fact he's always pouty when I watch it without him, but I would keep coming here if it wasn't around since I get a lot of other things here like news, discussion, comics, information about games, other features, etc. I would be bummed if ZP hung it up, honestly. I can't argue with a decrease in zest / freshness, but I am not seeing a lack of quality overall, and I'm comfortable with the routine.
ZP once was the only reason I came here. That has changed long ago. I would be massively bummed out by it but I'm with this site all the way. 
I too started coming here for ZP (in fact I get to the site by typing "zero p" on the search bar and letting Google do the rest). I recently added Unskippable to my Escapist playlist and pretty much log in every day just to check on the forums. I'd still probably come if ZP was taken down, though I'd miss it dearly. It just wouldn't be the same.
Yep. I've been coming to The Escapist for the forums for years. I might have originally jumped in because of Zero Punctuation, but it's the forums that keep me here. Not to mention the fact that there are plenty of other features aside from Zero Punctuation that I enjoy, like Jimqusition, Escape to the Movies, Feed Dump, Movie Defense Force, The Big Picture, Critical Miss and Miracle of Sound and that's even without mentioning stuff like the articles and reviews that go up on here.
Very much so. Honestly, I find the game reviews and the ZP mock reviews as one of the weaker parts of the escapists. At times they keep on track, giving critical insight to what the game features. Other times however, the review turns into something a fanboy wrote up on their way to a convention. Usually passing over glaring issues because this game features characters and or a story the reviewer really likes. To me at least, it makes the review less than credible and keeps me away from the reviews section unless it is a game I'm seriously interested in or at least looking for every scrap of info I can find.
There's not a lot of reason to visit if youre only doing it for ZP,s ince you only have to wait a week and you get it on youtube. And I doubt there's large groups that talk about what yahtzee said this week in the same way that people do about say, new family guys or walking dead episodes.
I would still visit just cuse i like to keep up on the news specifically the ones involving space.

I came for the ZP... but I stay for the Doomsday Arcade marathon I run every three months. Besides, if he left, we'd just have to find another snarky British guy living in Australia to do mock reviews for entertainment. Maybe the next one could use light blue swatches and stick figures.
Or be Strong Bad. That's good too...

Honestly, Yahtzee was the hook for me, if it wasn't for the offer of watching fresh episodes of Zero Punctuation, I wouldn't be assed to sign up and subscribe to Escapist, but in all honesty, I'd still stay because Jim Sterling's here, Thank God for Jim.
I can't say much for the rest, bar how SmoshGames shouldn't be here due to how retarded it's last top 5 was and how its credibility is reduced to nothing for me, MovieBob is great except he usually ends up overrating something that's not really good at all(GI Joe, anyone?), It's true he gets it 90% of the time, and that's great, but unlike Half in the Bag, wherein Jay and Mike are there to act as a check on each other if either one of them ends up recommending something that might be bad(Just like how Mike recommended Ghost Rider 2 at one point).
So yeah, tl;dr Jim Sterling's still here, so I'd still stay.

Definitely. I watch Bob's videos religiously, and I even find time to read his weekly articles. Zero Punctuation is a funny show, but I think the Escapist has a lot to offer besides Yahtzee's lovable sarcasm and wit.
