Looks like Yatzee is losing access to the Zero Punctuation IP, so he'll have to move to a different brand. Must be a bloody difficult move after being with ZP for almost 20 years.

"IP" feels like such a weird term here. It's not that I disagree, it's just weird to think about. Oh no, he will have to be mad at games with an English accent to slightly different clipart. He may have to find a new nu metal riff for his intro.

It was a recognisable brand, so he'll definitely lose viewers in the transition who simply don't know the two series are related. The Yatzee character was Yatzee to most people, so he's almost having to give up his face. It's not like Conan O'Brian moving to a new show where everyone already knows who he is and what he looks like.
