I don't want to be tinfoil about this, but I suspect there is maybe some more corporate politic stuff happening here than Zach lets on (and rightfully so). Zachtronics is wholly owned by Alliance Media Holdings. Alliance is run primarily by two people Jay Gelman (CEO) and Nathan Gelman (Director of Publishing + Stuido Operations). Last year, Nathan Gelman expressed some real crazy zionist opinions on Twitter during the most recent wave of the Israel-Palestine conflict. I didn't screenshot it, but you can sort of see some of the wake of it by searching his account name on twitter and seeing the replies to the now deleted tweet: https://twitter.com/search?q=nathangelman&src=typed_query https://twitter.com/search?q=nathangelman&src=typed_query Nathan also pretty consistently likes orthodox jewish content on Twitter, which, to be clear, isn't bad on its own, but with that plus the deleted tweet during the latest I-P conflict, thing I think it's maybe safe to say that Nathan, likely Zach's direct report as he is the "Director of Publishing and Studio Operations", has got some STRONG political beliefs. What I SUSPECT is that Zach probably just got tired of dealing with that and, given the ownership structure, has to "end" Zachtronics to step away from them. It's tenuous evidence and maybe doesn't mean anything, but the only other point that makes me think Alliance is a not-great-company to be under, is that on the episode of Eggplant show where they interview Bravery Network Online creators (other studio/game Alliance published), The BNO people said that "the legal issues that came up on the game were some of the worst things our lawyer said they ever encountered". (Don't have the exact timestamp but here's the episode) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bravely-replacing-randomness-with-gloam-collective/id1435365252?i=1000518383836 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bravely-replacing-rand... Again, maybe nothing, but maybe something. idk.
