Daniel Krupa, Gav Murphy, Rory Powers leaving IGN
- Thread starter Jam
- Start date
I honestly haven't followed IGN in over a decade, but the people that leave it tend to get traction on social media and I learn of them that way. Happened numerous times already. Best of luck in their endeavors! Seems like IGN doesn't allow some of their employees to grow so they inevitably move on like this.

Yeah, weird he used that picture. But it's Dale that's leaving not Rory.
Smart, IGN is a giant but the media landscape has transitioned away from their model a while ago. They can carve out a niche.

Prepare to Try ended this weekend, I think that was their own thing anyway and not affiliated with IGN so doubt they'll resurrect it, re-brand it or anything. I think it's dead for the time being.
Rory is leaving too:
Err nope, they mentioned that's almost definitely a thing that will continue, with details January 7th. They can't use the name anymore though, since IGN owns that.

Only signed by Gav, Krupa and Dale.
Plus IGN is only advertising for two jobs currently. Rory will be staying, for the time being anyway.
Yeah, Rory is leaving as well, they all say so in the last ep. I'm looking forward to what they've got cooking up, I'm a big fan.
I honestly don't think any of them would have left if the other 2 weren't on board. Them guys have become the best of mates.
Prepare To Try is hilarious if you want to give it a watch. Started with them trying to force someone who'd never played Dark Souls through the original before the release of Dark Souls 3.

Any chance they're all going to join Kinda Funny? KF is hyping a "Kinda Funny 4.0" 12-hour live stream on the 4th where "everything changes".
Meh so it is ign uk dont care about that channel, only ign usa.
Glad they're sticking together, I wouldn't miss them playing Sekiro for anything in this world, the video with them trying the demo was incredible.
LMAO
What in the world? Why don't I know any of those people? I feel like this is a post from Earth 2
For the record Daniel Krupa is the only one that has been there for 7 years. Gav and Rory have been there for 4 years.
Prepare To Try is incredible and I am looking forward to what's next for the lads.

I know right? It made them quit their jobs even, its a curse I tell ya!
Don't follow these guys at all, but is Patreon really that much more lucrative? Or is it all about having creative freedom? I guess both...
Had a little mooch around (it is my job technically in some capacity haha) and the lads have set up a company called RKG Productions Ltd.

Seems like they've had it planned for a while and I for one am very excited to see what they've got planned on January 7th!

Yeah on the podcast they mentioned a little bit about the process of the paperwork for it. Seems it was just planned to coincide with them leaving over the Christmas break.
Interesting though is that the official residence is situated in Manchester, I just assumed they'd stay in London.
I reckon they'll stay in London. They seem to be involved in other London-based projects, might just be an office/consultancy space they've rented.

Eh it's publically neccassary information. Not exactly Doxxing.
And it's next to a takeaway and an accountants. I think it's just going to be their office based on the look of it.

I don't think they're in a financial position to be renting a second property in Manchester really if it is going to be a Patreon like we assume.
If this was months down the road of a successful run I'd agree with you. But yeah I assumed they would stay in London too.
Cool, I want trying to accuse the person of purposly doxing, you can never be to careful nowadays but it does sound like an office space from what your describing.
I don't really use IGN at all, but got to know these guys due to this video:
Instantly became a fan and watched some of their older stuff. It's great.
