>ScrewAttack is so irrelevant now that not even these threads ever mention them.
I wrote this for a different thread but it died, but it may get some discussion here. I genuinely liked ScrewAttack back in the day.

Craig Skistimas is a scummy guy and a bad businessman.

>Screws a lifelong friend out of ownership of a business they co-founded
>Doesn't pay content creators
>Screws over Guru Larry by revoking the ScrewAttack Europe channel rights.
>Forces ProJared out of the company by telling him stop making Videos on his own or leave the Company
>Kills Hard News
>Kills the forums
>Stops doing reviews
>Makes no effort to consistently produce popular shows
>Sells ScrewAttack to Fullscreen claiming it will allow them funding to make better shows and they wouldn't change at all
>Spends money on a bigger and better office
>Starts cutting shows
>Iconic staff members leave
>Starts churning out 1-3 minute long Buzzfeed tier videos without any editorial point of view
>Kills SGC
>Pushes T-shirts, trinkets, and sponsors like crazy
>Deathbattle is the only show anyone watches
>Fullscreen merges ScrewAttack with Roosterteeth to try and salvage Craig Skistimas' sinking ship
>All of ScrewAttacks shows either cancelled or no one watches
>Death Battle is basically just a Roosterteeth show now
>Craig starts a new offshoot called GameAttack
>GameAttack goes independant
>Him and some of the ScrewAttack old gaurd spend all day streaming desperately trying to recapture and audience that doesn't exist anymore.
>He doesn't want to accept his old audience moved on and newer and younger audiences have no interest in a bunch of internet hasbeens.

tl:dr Craig was an asshole who mismanaged everything that he managed to build to the point where he's pathetically obscure hasbeen.
