This is slowly becoming the year of the worker-owned revenge media outlet.
Earlier this year Vice killed Waypoint and we got Remap. A few days ago, former Kotaku folks started things at Aftermath. And now, from the very fresh ashes of The Escapist rises Second Wind.
I'd fallen off the Escapist train a long time ago, but it was somewhat formative to me at one point. I'm glad the folks from there are trying to make something good out of the situation.
