In the real world, people get fired and quit jobs all the time.

That isn't always true. There have been businesses started by friends, that have blown up and become huge successes, and the friends are still friends to this day.

In retrospect, you guys kind of pioneered the personality-driven internet content creator breakup. With the benefit of 14 years since, it was actually pretty tame and civil from an outsider perspective. If that happened today, it wouldn't even make a blip on the Kotaku/ Polygon content farm because there wasn't any overt drama aside from the change itself. It's kind of one of the dangers of building your brand around people. Funhaus went through a similar thing with the OG crew leaving faster than new personalities were winning over viewers.

I followed both Screwattack and Game Heroes after the split. I know gaming content online is massive now, but seeing some of the more obscure games get brought up on both helped introduce me to some great stuff when I was in college.

Dunno why this got recommended now, but I remember the breakup and sided with Tom at the time. Life experience has shown me that that personal and professional relationships don't always mix and that some people are more invested in a business than others. My opinion on this has changed over the years and I'm glad to see that you're still making videos. While I'll never know the true details because we can't really have an omniscient overview of what actually happened behind the scenes on both sides, I'm satisfied in my personal conclusion that the move was necessary to for the survival of the business. Thank you for addressing this once again after so many years and thank you in particular for the detailed comment to another user that lines up with my modern outlook on the matter. Best of luck to you moving forward.

Hey Craig, I started watching ScrewAttack way back on the GameTrailers days in 2007. It was the first site I ever really used, back when I was definitely too young to be on it. I still have good memories with Sidescrollers. I loaded up little MP3 players (remember those?) with my favorite episodes, I begged my parents to get merch (which I got) and to go to SGC (which never happened, sadly). I'm now nearly 26 and I find your new content really refreshing. I wish you the best!

I remember being really bummed out when the split with Tom happened. It felt almost like losing a friend. I think many of us OG Screwattack fans would love to see Craig & Tom reconnect in some way, but I understand that that's not necessarily how life goes. I think Craig had a very mature and level headed take on the whole thing.

@novelezra 2 жыл бұрын

I think a lot of people just forgot that friendships don't last forever, especially when that friendship is from your early 20s and also related to business. When I was young watching GT; I was like "Oh no! They broke up! This is terrible!" Blah blah blah. I'm 32 now and I've moved on from friends and I've made new ones. Life isn't a sitcom where you are with the same cast of characters for 20 years. Sometimes you move (figuratively or literally) and sometimes you stay, whilst others move away. You never really think about it too much but most people weren't part of a duo that shaped a lot of people's younger years like Screwattack did. When Mike and James stopped doing stuff together I understood completely; they are different people. But I know there will be younger people who grew up watching AVGN on youtube (instead of GT lol) and think some huge drama went down. Life moves on and there isn't a reason behind everything. You may go into a drugstore tomorrow and see an old friend and you may think "nah, I can't be bothered to reminisce today" and grab your prescription and leave.

@OSW Жыл бұрын

I'm none the wiser about Handsome Tom, beyond that it was a while ago and Craig accepts responsibility. I'm not sure what he's apologising for? Is there a longer vid that explained what happens and debunks the internet drama lies? Or is it simply _"we had different ideas for SA so he had to go"_ and that was that? (More info here would be tops) Like I remember Craig getting grief for registering the company in his name, not as a partnership. But (in Ireland anyway) dual-ownership is HORRENDOUSLY DIFFICULT to do with a lot more needless red tape (directors, secretaries, agms etc) and besides, we aren't privy to the split in leadership at the time, like it could've been Craig doing 90% of the work and steering the ship, ya know? Anyway cheers for the vid!

@@AdamKepsProduktions I think that before that happened, Tom and I had MANY conversations about the expectations and what needed to be delivered. You need to understand that it was not a spur of the moment decision and that SEVERAL people who were involved in SA early on saw what I saw and actually suggested the idea in the first place. Keep in mind that there was a tight timeline for the biz to be registered otherwise we wouldn't have been paid for the first videos we did for GameVideos. After I registered the company we talked at length about how I was 100% open to making sure Tom was a partner in the company he just needed to show the effort associated with owning a company - hence why I said we each had a different vision of what SA was. With all that said, I always separated our professional and personal relationships. Was there bleed? Sure, that's why people enjoyed watching us back then. It was a long time ago and we all have moved on. I hope you can too.

That response to the Tom question really comes off like a AI generated script. You used a bunch of words and ultimately said nothing. If you’re click baiting with Tom, then cover the LLC registration details, what you offered him afterwards, and your thought process. It will take no more than a couple minutes. Basically ‘he kept his job, wasn’t involved in the company besides content creation, you didn’t think of checking with him about names on LLC registration, you gave an ultimatum to perform to become a co owner/founder, then chuck the rest to miscommunication.’ There, simple as that, not that I or anyone else is expected to believe either one of you 100%, but at least it would be a respectable response from you.

Thanks! leave a donation help them girls play sports! I know growing up a low income kid can be hard.. It is not parents fault most of the time as well, as 37.2 million people in america make poverty wages. That is a lot of kids.

@SideScrollersPodcast 2 жыл бұрын

In the interest of not making him look like the most self absorbed and selfish POS I’ve ever met, I’d rather not. There’s a reason I fired him. We’ll leave it there.

@@SideScrollersPodcast Gotta say as a Screwattack fan since 2006 I would love to know the details on this. I think its hard to do more damage to Jared's reputation than has already been done so fire away I say. I thought the official Screwattack statement was that Jared quit? I recall he posted later on Twitter that he had been fired and was the sole source of that perspective. Now you're indicating he was indeed fired? My interest is piqued I have to admit... ;)

I wouldn’t go as far as to say Handsome Tom leaving harmed Screwattack because of what it went on to do but damn I missed his voice. You and he flowed so well together. So I have a challenge to lay down to Tom, from a long term fan. I want the pair of you to do a video together to talk about old times. Screenshot this and send it to him because I’d love for both of you to share a beer and put it all to rest. I’d even host it if he didn’t want it on your channel. Make it happen Tom.

When did you feel the tide turning at game attack? I loved it when it first started. I felt like I was let into a circle of friends that just enjoyed chatting, playing games and having fun. I stopped watching when things became more "business oriented". It wasn't the same and imo, still isn't. It was good while it lasted

You decided to go your separate ways? Really? The way I remember it is that you snaked tom out of the company whose success was built on BOTH of your collaborative efforts. You went and legally registered everything in your name WITHOUT telling your best friend and partner, Tom. Nice rewriting of history. You are a snake and a backstabber.
