They probably had no idea Yahtzee and co were that loyal to Nick. That said, I'm shocked Yahtzee was never given an ownership stake, as an insurance against... Well, this exact scenario.

I kind of assumed he was like... mostly owner?

Like I sorted their YT videos by popular and after four pages I gave up looking for something that isn't zero punctuation.
