@@Kutaloono they’re still together but he was saying that for the past few years he feels like they can’t have a normal conversation or play games together without thinking about how he’s going to make content out of it and he just wants to enjoy time with his family without worrying about the channel at the same time
@@KutalooBasically, it got to the point where even at a Christmas dinner he would talk about theories with his family. He just wants to relax. He could sell his channels to other people or he could keep them and upload like once every 3 months or so. It really depends how he wants it to play out. If I was him I'd still upload just once every couple of months.
The fact that Matpat actually cried during his video really shows how much he loves us and making videos for us, we never realise how important things are until we lose them, i do hope that trolls wont ruin it, especially UTTP.
What made me cry more for Matpat's goodbye are the editors comparing this to Oogway's death and Baymax's sacrifice. It is so wholesome how Game Theory channel has impacted the youtube community this much
Povyoucalledbelugas you are brain-dead and have lost the ability to feel emotions how do you not understand the idea that people get sad about the channels they've watched for years going away
2024 has started off pretty normally. You must be young to believe this. Also, I won $1k thanks to Michigan's football team. You need to go outside, my man.
That's a pretty sad childhood. No sports teams, vacations, or memories with friends? I know what you meant, but that's how you came across to those of us who had conventional childhoods (i.e., spent with fewer than an hour a day on the internet).
"That is organic love for your work." That about sums up MatPat. Thank you Charlie, I've watched you for nigh on a decade and Matpat's departure makes me appreciate you that much more.
My teenage son got me into Mat Pat and you! He told me yesterday that Mat was leaving and I thought he was joking!! But as a parent, I completely get where Mat is coming from. I also stepped away from my career a few years ago to raise my kids and I will never, ever regret that. He’s doing an amazing thing for his family- good for him. His content is so amazing, and I’ve loved being able to watch it with my kids, so we can relate and bond. Same with your work, Charlie! So I am glad to hear you’ll be sticking around awhile longer.
As sad as I am about MatPat leaving, I'm much happier that Ollie gets to have more time with his parents. So much respect for him wanting to be more present in Steph and his son's lives.
Same! ngl one of the first things I thought of was if Ollie would ever have troubles with absent parents and dealing with fame early on in life, but I'm happy, this is a good ending in a way.
MatPat retiring hits so hard. He will be sorely missed but as a father myself I completely understand wanting to be there for family. I wish him all the luck in whatever he decides to do.

Mind sharing your story? Did he perform the Heimlich maneuver while you were choking to death on a chicken wing? It has to be some kind of Herculean feat or else I'm not going to be impressed. Don't tell me he changed your life by uploading a couple of videos.
Seeing Matt genuinely sad to step away meant the most, the feeling was always mutual can’t thank dude enough for all the hours away from the bs of life I’m glad he didn’t change hope his next chapter is just as fulfilling
It breaks my heart that he's leaving, but at the same time im incredibly greatful for all the things he done, and truly believe he deserves to be able to step away to enjoy his family to the fullest extent.
The problem is so many people think matpat is leaving youtube forever. Hes not. Hes still gonna be in the background and pop around from time to time, but hes also gonna stay on gtlive
@@PumpyGT yeah, let him spend time with his son. He didn't want to turn into one of those parents who are just working non stop and spend zero time with their family.

I see it as a good thing, the classic legends are saying goodbye to retire and live their lives, and to make room for new potentially legendary content creators. Art inspires art and Matpat was nothing short of inspirational.
I actually am glad this is happening. I care about CZcamsr health, and it'd be unhealthy to do this the entirety of your life as a career and never take a break or retire.
I'm reading these comments, and some people are saying that "MatPat" was a childhood icon of theirs. 🤦 I'm going to make sure my son doesn't live on the internet.
Mathew Patrick and his team left a legacy on CZcams that can never be replicated and I don’t believe will disappear anytime soon, it’s sad to see him go but what he left behind is truly amazing
Been with ya since 3k subs and I have to say your a real gem, and I’m glad your not in the rough anymore. Keep doin what you do best and we’ll all be here to have a good time with it!
Cheers to MatPat for 13 years of theories. It's sad too see him go, but now he can finally take time to focus on the rest of his life, and he has my uttermost respect for that.
All these millennials announcing to leave the platform after hitting 35 is kinda cringe, the views are down so they come up with clout chasing videos like goodbye YT.
This man has worked tirelessly these last 13 years, hosting FIVE channels that all post WEEKLY. It's honestly insane how hard this man has worked, and I can't think of a single CZcamsr I'd be happier leaving in this fashion. No drama, no cancellation, just at the peak of it all, ready to take a step back.
For someone like MatPat, who could debatably be called a commentary youtuber to stick around for a long time and never step in controversy, that is extraordinarily lucky.
@@SteveInLavamatpats videos tend to be a bit deeper and harder to make than commentary tbh. This is of course not a dog at commentary CZcamsrs, I know the good ones work and research extremely hard to produce there content
You know, when i first joined yt the FIRST channel i watched long term was matpat he was my idle and seeing him just..walk away feels like i lost someone special 😭😭
It's so crazy, i remember watching you back in 2011 ish while i was still in junior high. I'm gonna be honest, I drifted away from your content as many do but as I recently discovered Wendigoon I came back to your content and it's so amazing seeing your drive and passion still flourishing.
I was raised on Game Theory, and I won’t lie I shed real tears at least twice when I watched MatPat’s video. I will miss Matt, though thankfully his channels will live on.
All these millennials announcing to leave the platform after hitting 35 is kinda cringe, the views are down so they come up with clout chasing videos like goodbye YT.😊
Yeah it is sad to see him go I've been watching them since around 2014 during some tough and challenging times in my life and of course in 2016 when I found out I had cancer and had to go through chemotherapy their content along many others got me through some rough days and nights so I did cry a bit when I heard this announcement. But I wish him and Stephanie and his new son the very best and hope their next chapter is just as positive as this one was ❤
honestly one of the saddest moments in youtube history, MatPat will forever ever be in our hearts for his great content, and we will always remember him. farewell ❤.

@@MrUssy101 blud people want to do shit with their lives, wanna travel and go see stuff, and when people dont really care much anymore whats the point of staying to make content?
hard to see matpat go, but hearing that charlie just wants to go even harder fills my heart i cant even lie. charles you have been my childhood youtuber and i still mainly watch you and i honestly dont know what ill do with myself when ur done. love you big moist as long as ur uploading i am always watching❤
It’s the end of an era, but what he’s created is truly unique. We’ll never have another MatPat, but I’m thankful we had the chance to see him grow and create something amazing
It's an understatement to say that MatPat had a huge impact on the gaming community and even the overall youtube community. Game theory and all the other channels will never be the same without him.
as much as people get sad watching matpat saying hes gonna quit youtube i see it as part of growing up though kind of sad watching a real one go god speed matpat
@@RegiCunoYTcry abt it lil bro they here because they wanna appreciate their childhood and what game theories/matpat has done for them if you don’t like it then you shouldn’t be here
Despite how bittersweet it is this was probably the best way MatPat could’ve stepped away. Mad respect for him for building something so unique and filled with passion over the years.
I'm so glad you also saw a parallel with Steve from Blue's Clues! I thought the exact same thing! Again, so heartwarming to see this much support from so many creators on the platform
I remember loving this guy's theories so much, I would download mp3 versions of his videos to listen on my dinky ass mp3 player back in Form 1. This man has given me more knowledge than most classes I attend. Matpat will forever be the face of the Theory Channels, and I know I speak for all of us when I say we will miss him.
@RegiCuno Well, I've watched the guy for a decade, which is hell of a lot of time, I've gone through high school and college in the amount of time I've watched him. I've touched plenty of grass in my life and am actually a productive member of society, so keep to yourself, perhaps?
The wave of departures in the CZcams community is indeed rather poignant. As fans, the hope is to respect their decision and continue to appreciate the legacy they've left behind. Good luck to everyone venturing onto new paths.
a bunch of millionaires decide to retire early while they continue to rake in millions for the rest of their life? Who fucking cares? i've been working as a physician since 2015. i could not retire early if i wanted to, and if i tried, it would be unceremonious. can you imagine a regular working class person wanting to take a step back from work so they could spend time with their family or doing things they loved? oh you've been putting work first for the past decade and now you want to have fun? *wipes tears away with hundred dollar bills*. just leave and spare everyone the drama.
@@ChrizMMV They're giving away their channel also when you work for 10 years and post weekly, you couldn't exactly keep it up for very long, they're gone, what are thay gonna need those view for now
Anyone else actually cry because of this? I feel kind of silly but MatPat and Gametheory were a huge part of my childhood. Sad to see him go but we all wish him the best ❤
Yeah. I listen to his theories to pass the time when I'm working or playing. I'll never get to hear a new theory from him again after march 9th, and that just... Hurts.
Man, i grew up with matpat and still watch his content till date as an adult. It's extremely sad, but the man deserves his break, to watch his son grow up and spend time with his family. He truly built something incredible, as a cultural phenomenon and as a bastion of youtube from the creator, corporate and viewer fronts. The man's a legend of the internet and he always loved what he did. Well, im a little teary, a game teary
Charlie staying on CZcams longer than everyone else reminds me of when a guy decides to serve a full 20 years in the military as the rest of his unit gets out after 6 years.
Strangely wholesome ending to the video. It makes me genuinely happy you are still loving CZcams so much, and massive respect to Matpat, he's such a legendary, beloved CZcamsr by everyone.
@@povyoucalledbelugasvideosc4937 just like how nobody cared when you failed highschool,like how no one cared about the death of your family members,also like how nobody cares about your existence
Same, I know people are sad about mat pat leaving, especially me, but I think penguin is probably an even bigger influence in my opinion, so I think if he quit CZcams, that day when he stop uploading, it'll be an artificial disaster
Thank you all CZcamsrs for coming and being so amazing and I hope the best for you and all who have left already even thoughts who have passed you’ve all made your amazing marks of honor
Matpat was the reason why I made theories about fnaf in school and even beside that he still had a big impact on me and other people if not the whole CZcams COMMUNITY! Thank you Matpat for raising all of us and I totally understand that he has to spend more time with his family so I definitely respect his decision. But again thank you matpat for everything ❤️
The emotion he shows in this video is so genuine. I'm sure he's a sweetheart. Hope his family gets the quiet they seek. We take everyday moments for granted. Imagine never having enough time to even notice the moment passing by.
That connection to Steve from Blue's Clues is quite Apt. Im oretty sure i was well out of the age demographic intended for Blue's Clues but i got into it through my much much younger sister. When he left i genuinely felt that and when he came back recently i felt that too. I know a lot of MatPat's material is geared towards teens and young adults, and to be honest i havent been wathing him that long, but similar feelings for the person he is doing the types of things he is trying to do; it really stirred that Steve's departure energy
played games for 12 years from my 21 year long life never have i watched a single matpat video or anyone i ever knew has ever watched his videos,he just isn't what you are saying,pewdiepie and cr1tikal are what you described,matpat isn't
captainsparkles, moosnuckle, matpat, tom scott, stampy, its so sad to see so many creators i grew up watching leave around the same time. it’s going to be so hard to watch them all leave but there will always be a goodbye
Dang, I wish I had watched all these CZcamsrs from the very beginning, just to be able to fully appreciate their journey and impact. As it is, for the short time that I’ve been a fan or the influential parts of my life that these guys have been present for, I’m going to seriously miss the old days. The nostalgia is real. 😔
I am extremely optimistic about MattPat’s departure. We’re not losing the artistry of his work and his channel, we’re not losing the team and the passion. A different face will be odd and it might be an adjustment, but I’m excited to see what comes
"it's just a theory, a game theory" will be gone. Or at least, I hope they come up with a different catchphrase. It would be weird to hear it from another person
I saw someone on Twitter accuse MatPat of being a parasocial pedophile for that part of the video and it completely killed my mood for the rest of the day 💀
What kind of a childhood did you have? I can understand playing video games every once in a while, but didn't your parents sign your up for sports, buy you pets, or take you on vacations? Gen Z is unhinged fr fr.
Good for Mat. All internet celebrities should follow Mat’s example. It’s hard to be in the spotlight for so long and content creation can take a toll on your personal life. Mat made some amazing memories with all of us. I’m thankful to him for that. I’m so happy that he is choosing to move on to the next chapter of his life and be with his loved ones. Farewell MatPat, thank you for the mark you’ve left on us all. ❤
As the years go by and we get older, it goes the same for CZcamsrs. Huge CZcamsrs will start to retire from their channels as time goes on. I’m gonna really miss watching Matpats game theory videos, we’ll miss you Matpat😢❤.
It'll be sad no longer having MatPat crack our legs open and fill us with lore, but he absolutely deserves this rest. Thank you GrandpaPat for the memories!
2014 was a great year on CZcams. I discovered channels like game theory and I’m so grateful. I had always been a curious person and it was nice to see someone thinking critically about games but actually having the skill to find the answer, something I couldn’t do myself
I was there at the beginning of game theory and watched all of their content, with a heavy yet happy heart I wish mat and Steph the best future and nothing but good times, we all will miss them both I truly hope that they will continue to help and inspire not just us but everyone, it was never just a theory. It was always a game theory
I could never imagine how difficult it is to watch your favorite youtubers grow up and the quit. I cried when CoryxKenshin even considered quitting a few years back y'all he wasn't just mentioning quitting, he wa literally planning on it. I do sound a bit weird by saying "he even mentioned quitting" but I was actually talking about how he said he was quitting at 10 mil and he was at 8 mil (He them gained 2 mil very quickly) It wasn't more of just mentioning quitting, he just was literally going to quit.
i deadass believe he might retire very soon. when he gets back from his trip he'll either make content with a fresh mindset or announce his departure, im not ready for it :(
Since a lot of CZcamsrs I know have been slowing down or quitting recently, it feels somewhat comforting hearing another creator have fun and be excited for making content in 2024. I also have a lot of plans for the year content wise and I’m not stopping any time soon so it’s nice hearing another creator excited to create amongst all the goodbyes (nothing against those quitting. If they want to stop what they’re doing for any number of reasons they should do it).
@@daviddaboi7970matpat said the opposite in his video... maybe watch it, he says for some time now he hasn't even been making the theories he's just narrating other people's work
I think it's actually a lesser role to our preception only. He won't have a public facing role anymore, but it still sounds like he'll continue running his business. He'll just be acting in a CEO/CCO capacity, rather than as a public facing personality.
Matpat changed not only the gaming world on youtube, but youtube as a whole, his impact will leave a mark on this platform that will not be forgotten, he will be forever missed
All these millennials announcing to leave the platform after hitting 35 is kinda cringe, the views are down so they come up with clout chasing videos like goodbye YT.

Hearing Charlie disclose that he has no intentions of ever leaving us was exactly what I needed today.

Yea because CZcams owns him basically. Unlike MatPat, penguinz decides to stay on CZcams as of today creating revenue and monetary gain for them.

This man has worked tirelessly these last 13 years, hosting FIVE channels that all post WEEKLY. It's honestly insane how hard this man has worked, and I can't think of a single CZcamsr I'd be happier leaving in this fashion. No drama, no cancellation, just at the peak of it all, ready to take a step back.

For someone like MatPat, who could debatably be called a commentary youtuber to stick around for a long time and never step in controversy, that is extraordinarily lucky.
@@SteveInLavamatpats videos tend to be a bit deeper and harder to make than commentary tbh. This is of course not a dog at commentary CZcamsrs, I know the good ones work and research extremely hard to produce there content

Bro got into a few drama fests and controversies, but nothing on the scale that some ppl are used to now.
You know, when i first joined yt the FIRST channel i watched long term was matpat he was my idle and seeing him just..walk away feels like i lost someone special 😭😭
It's so crazy, i remember watching you back in 2011 ish while i was still in junior high. I'm gonna be honest, I drifted away from your content as many do but as I recently discovered Wendigoon I came back to your content and it's so amazing seeing your drive and passion still flourishing.

But I wish him and Stephanie and his new son the very best and hope their next chapter is just as positive as this one was ❤

we have to accept that they're leaving youtube, at least they're still with us :D
a bunch of millionaires decide to retire early while they continue to rake in millions for the rest of their life? Who fucking cares? i've been working as a physician since 2015. i could not retire early if i wanted to, and if i tried, it would be unceremonious. can you imagine a regular working class person wanting to take a step back from work so they could spend time with their family or doing things they loved? oh you've been putting work first for the past decade and now you want to have fun? *wipes tears away with hundred dollar bills*. just leave and spare everyone the drama.
We will all miss Matpat, but no matter what we say or do… time goes on, and I am happy that Matpat has taught us that. We will truly miss him.
I saw a comment on another video about matpat leaving and it took me until today to work up the courage to watch the announcement video.

Matpat grew up in the same town as me and I met him a few times. Super nice guy, he deserves his retirement and to be happy with his family :)
Since a lot of CZcamsrs I know have been slowing down or quitting recently, it feels somewhat comforting hearing another creator have fun and be excited for making content in 2024. I also have a lot of plans for the year content wise and I’m not stopping any time soon so it’s nice hearing another creator excited to create amongst all the goodbyes (nothing against those quitting. If they want to stop what they’re doing for any number of reasons they should do it).
