** On 10/10/16 it was announced that Craig, Shaun, Bryan and Parker had left [=ScrewAttack=] to form Game Attack (based in part on the GameAttack show), a new gaming channel. The project has been likened to the Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter split by the staff and was done for similar [[DeathBattle reasons]]. This brought the end of several ages: The leaving of company co-founder Craig along with long serving staff members Bryan (only Ben and Nick have been there longer as employees), Shaun and Parker, the end of the SideScrollers podcast (the very first show on [=ScrewAttack=]), and the end of gaming centric content in general (Top Ten will be expanding its scope to non-gaming topics).
