This was the last Cold Take that Frost made for The Escapist/Gamur. After being stuck a few weeks due to nobody left at The Escapist knowing how and where to publish already finished videos, they released it and a few others today.

For those who followed the recent Escapist news, this episode appears inadvertently prescient.

Note that he still continues the series on https://www.youtube.com/@SecondWindGroup

I'm happy to see that Frost also moved to Second Wind and even happier that they already created new content.

The video really is prescient. I wonder if it's just pure coincidence. Not too unlikely as this topic is an important one but still... Apart from Frost's commentary the visual material seemed especially dull as if the editor really couldn't be bothered but maybe it's just my lack of appetite for this genre of games that is showing.

Yeah, I've seen a few people wondering why the visuals were a bit dull and wondering if was the remains of The Escapist finishing them up to push them out and being lazy about it.

But it does by all accounts look like this was edited before the implosion, as they had literally zero employees left of the video team, including everyone who did video editing. The videos were all finished and uploaded to YouTube, just awaiting someone click the "publish" button.
