  45. 09.16.11 I will be putting my time with Destructoid behind me. I'll be passing my Editor-in-Chief hat to Dale North, who is not only a good friend of mine, but more than capable of steering this rowdy ship into the amazing new territory ahead. [Moving On (also babybats in blankets) (Destructoid - Nick Chester)] https://archive.is/U44p1
  46. 01.20.14 I have an old friend that works at Harmonix. An old boss. A few other friends there too, so I asked them what's up. We'll see if they'll tell us anything. https://archive.is/yBWC8

  48. Potential Disclosure Issues:
  49. Nick Chester is former EIC of Destructoid and now PR for Harmonix. Furthermore, there is evidence in the way that Chester interacts with North that a friendship has also been maintained. Both of these could affect the objectivity of coverage. Unfortunately, North's tweets are protected so we can only determine through Chester's interactions. Furthermore, another article by North outright states that Chester is an old friend (old friend and old boss) and that he has a few other friends at Harmonix.
