Let's Play Video Games - The future of Destructoid UK (Patreon)

Just over two days ago, the UK team at Destructoid were informed that we were being let go on very short notice, in no part due to the quality or performance of our work. It was depressing news to recieve 2am, 2 days before major surgery, but I did not want to see this be the end of a team that was creating fantastic content and had a great chemistry.

The outpouring of support we have seen since the news broke has been incredible. We've seen a flood of Patreon support to fill the gap in budget lost, we have seen countless people asking to know where we are going next, and we have had the vast majority of our UK PR contacts agree to follow the team to our next venture.

So, I guess now is the time to announce LetsPlayVideoGames.com

While the site is still not quite ready to launch, we are working furiously behind the scenes to create a new outlet where Destructoid's UK team can move, continue their old work, create new collaborative content and basically work on what we want, for the same money we were making back at Destructoid.

If you want to get a head start on following the new project, you can follow us on Twitter at @LetsPlayVGCom.

Spread the word, something new and exciting is on the horizon.
