If Jirard leaves that'd be huge. From what I have gathered over the last couple years, most of the behind-the-scenes work holding NB together is done my Jirard and his crew, with Satchell doing the graphics for most of the team. I know he did all the graphics work for when the Completionist series got it's revamp. I don't know if Jirard can leave without killing NB and losing himself a bunch of money, the company is based in his office in LA and his brother is the guy who runs it and got the CP email about Jared.
Jirard's office is co-shared with multiple YouTube ventures (gotta cover overheads) as explained in his vlog channel
last year. It is the home to:
Normal Boots, That One Video Gamer, The Dex, Super Beard Bros, Jesse Cox, The Co-Optional Podcast and Dodger (Although childbirth has altered that)
Some video-creators (Like Sunder and Hot Pepper Gaming) have also used the venue for video projects.
Normal Boots death would barely make a dent on Jirard's income. Especially with his
sponsored work from Ubisoft and Nintendo. Oh and let's not forget that he's doing content constantly and streams unlike most of the others.
That said, Continue and Furst would be fucked outright.
Continue cannot even break 20k views these days and will likely have to rethink the documentaries they had planned. They do have some semi-professional film work, but New York is highly competitive media wise and all they've got to their reel as of late is this vidya bullshit. Jon certainly does not need them on his set.
As I've said in other posts, Furst is highly confrontational. I'd not be shocked if he bailed soon. His problem is that nobody watched his prior videos nor does his have many bridges left unburnt. He'll either focus on DYKG full time or attempt to use his pull and become part of another outlet. Satch has ties at FORBES, so he might get an editorial gig there. Alternatively Giant Bomb as they are also NY based
