ScrewAttack: The Break-Up; Bye Tom

soyraw

Posted March 13, 2008 @ 8:16 pm

As most of you are aware Handsome Tom and Perfect Liz have left ScrewAttack..

Tom posted on their boards last week that he was leaving, but gave no real reason why.

On the newest Sidescroller Podcast
Craig informs the G1s why Tom left.

These are just a few experts from the podcast. I would highly recommend going over to screwattack.com and downloading the entire podcast to hear Craigs full response.

I have always been a fan of these two guys, their videos usually rock and rock hard, but like Craig states in the podcast its a business so sometimes hard decisions have to be made..

I guess that Craig actually registered and owns the screwattack business, even though Tom and Craig are both the founding fathers. I know it must be very difficult for Craig and Tom being friends and everything, so I wish both the best of luck..

ScrewAttack is still going to be in operation pumping out great videos and game related material it's just going to be with out Tom.

All videos and images used are from screwattack.com, I just used them to give something to look at while Craig talks..

Again Good Luck Tom..(and Liz)

Craig it's going to be hard, but you can do it.. You can weather this storm and keep the G1s going and more importantly keep ScrewAttack going strong..

ScrewAttack-

Craig statement on the podcast was insulting to tell the truth. We started ScrewAttack together, and both brought things to the table. I came in with my gaming collection, and my knowledge about video games, and Craig brought his knowledge of the Radio industry. In the beginning, all he was interested in doing was a podcast, and wanted it to be about gaming because of what I was bringing to the table. A friend of mine created the ScrewAttack webpage that everyone is so familiar with, and is also designing what ScrewAttack is about to become. We both put a lot of time, effort and ideas into making the site what it is today. Like Craig stated in the podcast he did go behind my back and register the company. I had asked him on several occasions to go and get it registered together. He would always say %u201CNo, let%u2019s wait%u201D and went ahead an did it anyway, without telling me.

I did give Craig 2 options, either I would be a part of the company
like agreed in the beginning and again at the beginning of the GT contract, or
I would be paid on PERFORMANCE *(not just a raise).
Let me give you an example:
(none of the following is not common knowledge)
ScrewAttack gets paid by views on GT, on the internet it%u2019s called CPM (meaning per thousand views). I wanted to be paid like the Angry Video Game Nerd. He is paid a percent of his performance on GT.
Let me show you the number of views that anyone can look up%u2026.

Tom: 16,848,531
Craig: 10,469,958
Nerd: 18,398,149

I am a 1 1/2 million views away from the Nerd, and Craig is 8 million away.
How exactly was I not pulling my own weight? Not only did I perform on GT, I also performed consistently on ScrewAttack for 2 years. I did not ask for any of the merchandise money, nor any advertisement money, just the money that I deserved, based on my performance. Think about it%u2026 if I was really getting paid to do nothing, why would I leave? He says that we were friends, but why did he feel the need to insult me on the podcast?
I didn%u2019t go in depth about any of my reasons for leaving in my announcement post, which Craig was apparently threatened enough by to delete. Insulting me for 25 minutes on a podcast is not the way to keep a friendship%u2026.especial when he keeps letting everyone know it%u2019s business not personal.

I will not respond to any statement that Craig says after this post
about my involvement with ScrewAttack. I will also not insult him
or talk bad about anyone involved. That would not only be unprofessional
but would lower my standards as a person.
What%u2019s next? Well, we have a new site we%u2019re very excited about, TheGameHeroes.com. The teaser will be up early next week! Please email me and give me any feedback or if you want to contribute that would be awesome! Until the site is launched my email address will be: screwattacktom@gmail.com for all your support

Wow, fuck you Craig. You couldn't just give Tom a piece of the damn company? I don't believe that you gave Tom the opportunity to even gain a piece of the company. You mean to tell me Tom didn't do enough to EARN what was rightfullly his. Just FUCK YOU CRAIG...
