Goodbye Internet 

RU-vid isn't going to be the same without you, and there are very few people one could say that about and it be absolutely true.

You’ll always have a place in my heart Matthew GameTheory

Thank You Matt and Steph for being part of our childhood ❤️

Your favorite idol says retiring from RU-vid is that sad thing in your life … that left you heart broken thank you for everything matpat…

This can’t be real 😢😭🥺.Such a great channel coming to an end…the end of a generation,an era,and…a friendship. Hope life treats you well after you make your last video. Farewell my friend, Just a fan 🥺

We are losing all the RU-vid greats this year. Thank you, Matpat, for all the years of entertainment!

No controversies, no clickbait, no faking: Thank you for being a legend Matpat

This is definitely one of my most painful videos I have ever watched. Goodbye, MatPat.

Thank you MatPat. Been watching for 10+ years now. All the love and respect!

It’s the way he just starts crying then laughing then crying that made me emotional

When I found out, I started crying along with my best friends. We will miss you Matpat! RU-vid isn’t gonna be the same without you ❤😭

You guys killed it for so long. You should be insanely proud. Cheers.

From “Hello Internet” to “Goodbye Internet” . Stay well MatPat

I'm very sad rn. goodbye matpat. And also, thank you for being such a great person. You have pleased us very much with all your amazing theories. The internet will miss you.

“Its a theory, a game theory” -Matpat

I wasn't ready for this 😭

The end of an era. Thanks for being my inspiration for 10+ years

Goodbye old friend. You have made my whole childhood and we will all miss you so much. You deserve to rest now.

Mat, you won't truly be gone. You'll remain in our hearts forever.

Few content creators have such an immaculate reputation as both an entertainer and as a person, and your reasons for leaving further prove that. I respect stepping off while you’re ahead and greatly respect your commitment to family. A lot of us wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Game Theory and we won’t forget it. Thank you for using a small clip of myself and MeatCanyon making a “game theory” joke, seeing that in your send off means more to me than you know. Take care MatPat.

We will miss you so much Matt

You are my childhood I've been watching your videos as long is I can remember. Your theory channels have influenced the way I write, the art I make, the shows I watch and, video games I play. It's bitter sweet to see the world change as I get older. Im so thankful for getting to grow up with this channel. Matpat thank you.

Thank you Matpat for everything. I've been really enjoying your content. I'm really sad to hear that you're quitting. I hope you find happiness in what you now do. Thank you.

You're a legend Matpat ❤

You’ll be missed, thanks for making my childhood so Great! Iconic 🐐

This is so lovely, and I'm so glad that y'all found a way to move forward how you all wanted to! I'm looking forward to all the new content! ❤

This made me cry he was my childhood a theory of game theory I was born 2008 and I’ve been watching you ever since you started 2011

This was NOT on my 2024 Bingo card. One of the greatest internet personalities to ever pick up a camera.

ur a legend dude ❤️ stoked to see what else you’ll create in the future 🥳

Matpat, i hope you know that you were the only thing i looked forward to every single day after school and you retiring really pulls on my heart strings. And RU-vid just wont do the same it does when i see your amazing looped shorts or all of your theories. But all i know is 20 million is where we will get you next. But hey that's just a theory, a game theory...

Your are like a part of my life,I.......i don't know how I am going to take this news its just so hard I'm literally just crying, I will never ever forget you and how you made me smile. It's never going to be same again

You raised a generation MatPat, you've done really well, everyone is proud of you

Thanks matpat for 13 years of amazing videos ❤️

Thank you Maaatpat For all the years we spent with you. All the scientific breakthroughs Just for food Bro dives into the lore Of a simple Tv show That’s why we show Our love To matpat. Bro was so into the five nights at Freddy’s lore Literally in the movie As the waitress Serving up all the Lore, all the videos . Bro literally serves us those amazing memories on a silver platter. Bros like our math teacher sometimes . But he’s even better than all the teachers combined . The amount of research he does for a simple word in a trailer …… But that’s why we love matpat Bro dives so deep to answer a simple question. Diet coke Will never get a break from us . We love you matpat. (Sorry it’s sounds so odd guys, I made my hamster choose the words. Getting it to walk to a random card.)

The ending mad me cry we will miss you matpat you will always be in our hearts ❤have a great journey we will miss you:(

A true legend. Congratulations, and best of luck on your next adventure!

One of the greatest to ever do it! Congratulations on an incredible journey! The best is yet to come for you and your family!

Thank you fro making my childhood so much more special. Im so happy to have been able to discover you and your channel, im gonna miss you, your theories and your energy so much. Thank you for everything ❤

im just a random person on the internet, but this video popped into my feed and i just wanted to say i guess it speaks volumes, just in general, about how nothing in life lasts forever. something is born, it does its job, then it hands over the torch to the next great thing to happen. the Cycle of life repeats, for everything, no matter what it is. and its up to you to interpret it however u want to.

This just hurts :( I'm at a loss of words but thank you to everyone involved with the channel

We all appreciate you and everything you've done for RU-vid! That Earthbound reference was OP.

I've only recently discovered your channels, and I love them. Seeing you retire hurts, but I thank you, Mat, for entertaining us and making us smile.

August 22 2009-2024 Goodbye mat pat I watched you a lot and I’m gonna miss you I’m crying while writing this and while watching the video and I’m remembering the fun times when I was 6 watching you in 2018 Goodbye again and thanks for everything you’ve done for the community

He's a dad he's a husband and he's a legend thank you for everything Matpat..

I love you guys so much & I'm so genuinely proud of everything you've done. You changed my life in so many ways. I've been part of Theorists since I was 18, now I'm 28 and I can't wait to see what comes next

I started really watching this channel after this video.. I’m so annoyed with myself. Why did I not start watching Matpat earlier man.. I wish I could experience the nostalgia that others felt with you. I may not know you well, but goodbye MatPat

Hi Mat I’m sad you left and I’m late but you’ve done so many amazing theories only half fnaf but,thank you.🙂😞

Matpat didn’t just make theories, he made memories!

LOVE YOU MAT PAT! RU-vid LEGEND! 💛🏆

Every theory you made I have liked subbed AND loved u and the theory’s u have made ❤ thank u matpat

We have all got to be honest even the strongest men cried at hearing the words come out of his mouth, like I was about to get off to sleep, l had a day of school the next day and then it was released. My heart plummeted when I heard those words, "It's not clickbait. On March 9th I will be handing off the channels to someone else". Thanks matpat, for everything you have done.

Thank you Matpat, without a doubt you have left your mark on RU-vid and made this place special. You've inspired me and many others as well as the memes and references that have spread all across the internet which proves how much of an impact you have made. I'm thankful I at least got to be apart of a few videos even if it was very small part. There really will never be another Matpat on RU-vid but i get why you have to go. RU-vid can consume your life but I can't wait to see what you do next!

Thanks so much! May the wind be at your back! ✊

We are all going to miss you mat! Have a great life and give yourself some enjoyment in life!

I’ve refused to watch this because I didn’t want to cry but now that I have I will never get over it

"The worst part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory" We will miss you, MatPat. Thank you MatPat for everything.

I really enjoyed watching your videos and it is sad to see you go as someone else takes your place on the channel. I must admit though I can't wait to see what the new person has in store for us.

The pain in his voice 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 its only been 3 months since this vid and I've watched it like a million times I miss you man😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thank you Matt for not only being my childhood but being one of the creators that i looked upto while trying to become a RU-vidr. I’m from India & so many of the theories & lores that you talk about are culturally brand new to me but I’ve always loved watching every single one of them bcz of YOU. Hats off to the creativity and the consistency you’ve had for so many years & I wish you have a great life ahead because you certainly made mine a lot more fun❤

Goodbye Matpat, an Internet dad who made many childhoods

Matpat: trying not to get emotional because he thinks it's too much Us: *uncontrollable sobbing*

Matpat, this journey has been as awesome as each of your theories. We all wish you the best of luck.♥ Remember, it's just a theory, a game theory.

Losing one of the greatest RU-vidr Is heartbreaking😢 Thank u FOR EVERYTHING MATPAT

Matpat's "That's just a theory" line will outlive us all. What an iconic line from an iconic person

24:40 a game theory feels like yesterday

R,I,P Matpat we will miss you u had the best theories

He never ruined our childhoods, he and his team *made* our childhoods. Thanks Matpat.

The impact this singular man had on the internet for the past 10+ years is much heavier than he realizes, have a nice life Matt, we all will miss you.
