I think most of the format are Yahtzee’s IP, because he made two episodes released on his own channel independently under the name “Fully Ramblomatic” before being picked up by The Escapist maintaining pretty much an identical formula under the Zero Punctuation name. I think there would be a case that the little black imp thing is his for the same reason.

Looks like Yatzee is losing access to the Zero Punctuation IP, so he’ll have to move to a different brand. Must be a bloody difficult move after being with ZP for almost 20 years.

"IP" feels like such a weird term here. It's not that I disagree, it's just weird to think about. Oh no, he will have to be mad at games with an English accent to slightly different clipart. He may have to find a new number metal riff for his intro.

It was a recognisable brand, so he’ll definitely lose viewers in the transition who simply don’t know the two series are related. The Yatzee character was Yatzee to most people, so he’s almost having to give up his face. It’s not like Conan O’Brian moving to a new show where everyone already knows who he is and what he looks like.
