    @Herc_G. 10 месяцев назад +34

    I don’t think the chat or Ludwig truly know how influential MatPat is. Game Theory and co have had a massive influence on RUclips and internet culture as a whole. There’s lots of indie projects that wouldn’t have gotten the attention they got, for good or bad, without Game Theory. They also helped showcase a lot of creators and creator made projects that wouldn’t be as successful as they currently are without that spotlight on them. MatPat and Steph also do a lot of work behind the scenes for other content creators. The first example that comes to mind is how MatPat and Steph helped Smosh grow their channel. They worked with Smosh to help figure out analytics, marketing, and other statistics that ultimately led the channel to grow a ton. They’re part of the reason why Smosh became so big in its prime, and you would never know because they don’t care about being praised for their work. They genuinely want others to find the same success they have with no strings attached. We only know the surface of the hard work they have put in behind the scenes. Hell, he even mentions how a team member was helping a large mobile game company. Saying Game Theory is an OG is an understatement. This isn’t just the funny FNAF guy quitting making videos, this is one of the most influential figures in the industry saying he’s stepping back. I think it’s a shame more people don’t recognize the Theorist team for their hard work and dedication to helping this industry grow and become as big as it is. Even as he steps back from hosting the show MatPat and Steph are still working on a music based ARG, an animated series, and a video game! They are truly titans of the industry, so as sad as I am, I’m glad they’re getting some well deserved rest. Lookin forwards to seeing GrandpaPat whenever I get the chance.

      So I don't get the people who had to go as far as to comment on how they think Matt's goodbye is fake or cringy. Like, if you don't think it's sincere, then shut up and let the people who don't think so grieve properly.

      One thing I've learned in my like... 14 years of RUclips by this point is that yes. Things are done for the camera and things have to be a certain way in front of the camera because the alternative is much too subpar either for optimization and performance or for market appeal. But people forget that these creators love what they do. They love the community that it's brought to them. Sure. In the past 6 or so years, it's easy to become jaded because of how so many con-artists have come to the platform to try and develop a very thorough but ultimately inauthentic connection with an audience. But it's easy to forgot that some creators have valued the community and the people that watch them for as long as they have done unto him. What's Mat got to worry about anyway? Is he worried about the money? He would've sold the theorist franchise 5 years ago and made a much sappier goodbye video if he wanted to cash in.
      But no, he loved what he did and he loved that there were people who recognized the hard work he and Steph and the rest of the theorist crew have put out. These people love what they do, but that doesn't mean they're absolved from fatigue or a desire to want to do other things. It's honestly even worse to go "Cringe. It's all fake" when it's literally a goodbye video. For all he knows, the entire channel and his entire business is going to tank right after the goodbye. I know it won't, but that's the kind of thing that you'd only worry about if you knew the fanbase didn't value him enough and trust him enough. But we trust him. Many of us won't watch the videos (I will though), but most of us will acknowledge what he has left behind and the kind of great things he's cultivated in his presence. For him to exclusively go "I'm going. But I don't care" simply does nothing because, hey. As was said in the video: saying goodbye is literally harder than just continuing to cash in on the same thing over and over. But when you have to say goodbye, even if the tears fall, then it's goodbye.

    (Also, to all the people in the chat who were so out of touch with their own emotions that their first reaction to MatPat showing genuine emotion towards the people that he has dedicated his life to for 13 years was to say "cringe" or "parasocial" or "laying it on a bit thick", congrats on your apathy and I hope you feel something soon)

    Game Theory really reminds me of channels like Smosh, where the brand itself is associated with 2 iconic faces in Ian and Anthony, or even more niche channels like New Rockstars with Eric Voss, or Gameranx with Jake Baldino and Falcon The Hero (just a few of the main ones I follow at the top of my head). It's not a knock on the other hosts that they onboarded to take over some of their shows, but it just doesn't hit the same without the "main attraction", so to speak.

    Most people on the internet will never understand how much MatPat and his wife Steph have done for RUclips.

    Just to clarify: MatPat and Stephanie sold the theorist "franchise" to LunarX in 2022 because they wanted someone to help them make the channels bigger and better. Since then, they have been hiring more people and making theories with more people on camera, really diversifying their presentation. So yes, this has been the plan for years.

Let him be open, let a man be emotionally vulnerable without belitting him. He wanted to share how much his community truly meant to him and he waited until the end of his RUclips career to say it once. What would he even be trying to manipulate you for? Acting like you got the ick, for what? Because you cannot deal with sappy? Kinda just meanspirited and emotionally stunted. He is just trying to say goodbye.

You will forever be the reason of my personality. You created my speeches. You inspired them. Always and forever, you will be a piece of my brain. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you :D. Sad to see you go but happy to know you will finally have your own time for your own thoughts. Knowing that this would be hard to get acustom to, I wish you a speedy recovery after the next 9 weeks.

      I agree. It really blew my expectations, honestly. I was a bit worried as to how it'd be received, but man. He made just the right first videos to prove to people that this was something that they could do and that they could continue. It's clear they put a lot of time to really be meticulous about the feasibility of a channel so it shouldn't surprise any of us, but still. With so many people who fail at making a new venture sometimes, it kind of astounds you to remember that there ARE people who are good enough at what they do that they just know what will work and what won't. I mean for crying out loud he used to be the person that creators went to in DEFY/Break to know what they should or shouldn't do based on statistical trends on RUclips. He knows what's going to be right and what's going to be wrong.

    Genuinely Ludwig, I am a digital marketer at a company that is a Premier partner with Google (it's not that special, it just means we have to listen Google's rules) and all of your data, the views, your subscriber number... all of it. The exact numbers don't matter. What actually matters is the trend. If the number of people watching you is going up or going down. If the amount of time people are watching you is going up or going down. Google can't track an exact number to save it's own life. And even if it is tracking the exact numbers they aren't going to share the real numbers with you. So you may have been joking, but it's not a joke. Your subscriber number has significantly less value than it did back in 2015-2018 because of how all of the algorithms have been evolving. John Mueller has accidentally admitted multiple times that he has no idea how Google actually works anymore and I would bet money that RUclips has evolved to be the same way
    Also MatPat still owns his channel. LunarX is a stakeholder

He's built mine and so many other childhoods, and he, deservingly, should be proud of the mark he's leaving on this world. Week one has passed, and already it feels like the world is ending.
