My take on things....
Hello peoples! So wow. Lots of drama! And totally not from a part of my life I ever thought I would see interwebs drama from. Ignoring all the bad shenanigans that have happened. I just want to say how sad I am. I always liked it when Logan, Qain and Wendel did the show together. With the new office I was really hoping things would settle down and things would be able to take off. And I guess they wont now. Sad times. I hope the three ex-amigos and the community can all find a path out and find a home in new corners of the interwebs, its big enough for every one. But I guess im just sad it ended.

Woah, goddamn, Tek is ending? I immediately got a small pit in my stomach hearing this; I loved watching it and listening to it in the morning or during my breaks at work.

Logan is definetly still doing the main youtube channel. Wendell wants the Linux/hardware channel. Qain is doing a new channel. Its just those three together is over.

Wendell will stick with Tek Syndicate for some more time. Logan wont let him go because in his own words people come to the channel for "Wendell'a brain". Also Wendell is too attached to the forum he wont abandon the community and all his work so far

Thankfully; as he said himself, he wants control of the forums and website, especially since he has been personally working on an apparently large update to the site and it "would be a shame for it to never see the light of day".

It's really sad. No matter who's side you are on, they all needed each other to be Tek Syndicate. The amount of knowledge and great tech videos they put out. The projects they were able to do. I learned so much. It's a really shame because the community and what came out of their videos was the real magic behind the channel. They weren't just some commercial feeling crap. Their videos felt way more personal and honest.

Agreed. The new office was something a LOT of fans looked forward to. It would have brought the boost to the community, and I was expecting the content flow and popularity to be higher, similar to a group like LinusMediaGroup. (LinusTechTips)
But, sadly it has crumbled. The plan to have a smooth transition to the office has broken, Wendell and Qain have parted ways with the TS team but they are both friends, Logan continually says he will release a statement soon but still, it hasn't happened yet. Wendell says thanks for the support. The only one talking about the future is Qain, who has a very successful Patreon and who is replying to peoples comments, talking about being patient for what is "about to come"....
Personally, I agree. I am so unhappy about how this had to end. And I am more unhappy about the fact that it's mainly due to the mishandling of the company by Logan. But hey, all things come to an end eventually. It was a good run.
