Do you think the Escapist should upload ZP videos to iTunes and other mp3 downloading programs to be downloaded to mp3 players?

I sense a lock incoming...
If Yahtzee wanted his videos to be easily downloadable, he would have made it so.
There was a ZP podcast, but the guys at the Escapist shut it down (or so I'm led to believe- don't quote me on that :D).

This isn't illegal, but the guys at the Escapist don't encourage it. - Mods

If this were possible, nobody would ever need to visit The Escapist to watch ZP. They could just DL the episodes every week or two, and Escapist would lose a large hit rate.

The Escapist needs the pageviews like a fat kid looking for cake.

Yes, make them free as well ofcourse. More visitors to the actual site, more money. I'm tired of uploading Zero Punctuation videos to youtube. I mean searching for them

The Escapist's views would then drop dramatically if that happened. Last thing you need is too much of the internets leaking out anyway. It could cause something horrific, like Yahtzee getting a pimp suit or something.

I could care less about the convenience of the people providing this free service. I demand more in return for the nothing I contribute now (aside from the arguable income I provide by viewing an ad).

In all seriousness I would certainly utalize the service if it were offered, but I will neither hold my breath nor beg for it. If I can't find 5 minutes a week to watch a review with a computer, I've probably been declared dead or something.

DUDE! I know that kid! He messaged me, warning me that my videos would just get deleted even if I posted them. It's been 10 days, I've gotten 5,000 views total, and nothing bad has happened.

I got a new iPod last week and I looked on iTunes for ZP reviews. That would be awesome if we could download them.

I've said it should a number of times - for it and all the escapist videos.

Fuck, that'd be brilliant. Hell, I say put all the escapist shows on a podcast. I'd love to be able to watch unskippable on the go. I did manage to convert all Yahtzee related youtube videos to my ipod, but that's all I managed to get away with and it seems even those videos wont take to my ipod itself for some asinine reason.

And that mental imagery is kinda gross.
I meant the leaking, but from studying about sex slavery, I kinda want to burn anything involving forced prostitution.

That would be awesome if you could get all the Escapists videos as Podcasts.

I have no idea why people would say no, that's beyond.. yeah. It'd be nice to have it on my Walkman, and I think the way his videos are done they'd look great on there. Screw all this shit about the Escapist traffic going down, I mean... if Yahtzee is the only thing keeping them going then it's not exactly all that amazing.

(And I say this to make you think, obviously I love and read everything on the Escapist, I'm just saying...)

People would have to visit the site to know they liked the videos anyway so the site's hit rate isn't a huge deal. I would love to have my favorite Z P's to watch on the go and would definitely pay money for it. It's a great idea.

If they were put on iTunes people would have to pay to download them, making money. It's a good idea in some ways and not good in others. There's probably people downloading the ZP's somehow anyway.
