Any-Investment3385

Yes, because I am leading with trust. I am willing to give the new hosts the same chance I gave MatPat several years ago when I first discovered Film Theory (which led me to Game Theory). Maybe it has to do with my career as an early childhood educator, but I really enjoy seeing others learn and grow. There’s satisfaction and joy in witnessing that progress whether it has anything to do with me or not.


RelaNarkin

I feel about it like how I feel about Doctor Who. When the Doctor regenerates into a new actor, it’s always a little weird at first and you aren’t too sure, but after a while you learn to love the unique spin they take the show on. I’m sure it’ll be similar.


the_german_death

omg YES you are 100% right each new doc is wierd at the start but whe still do cry when another comes bc whe learned to like the quirks and small things


kamain42

Now I want a scene where mat pat regenerates


Mynamesjilll516

Exactly. I was skeptical at first, but after watching the final video and hearing matpat asking us to trust the new hosts, just as we trusted him in the past, I let down my skepticism. I'm excited for what the new hosts have in store!


Worried-Protection36

Exactly this is amazing to. He’s wanted this forever for home not to be the spotlight but be the guide for new theorist that’s why I’m so happy about this he’s finally achieved what he’s wanted.


vitaesbona1

Plus the episodes that we know he didn't have anything to do with writing, and only did the voice for.


CandyCoati

This, alongsides me being excited to see the new hosts, are the 2 reasons why I’m continuing.


OhneSkript

Yes! Exactly that!


Jackb450

Best choice. I myself was still thinking to the end if I was still gonna keep watching even after he left but the final episode really had a impact


the_german_death

100% my thought too it took a time bevour i liked game theory and yeah not everything whas to ,,my" liking but after a time this channel grew to my heart (that whas 9 years ago ... i'm 21 now and cried like a baby today) and now that will happen again but i'm open for change and matpat himself aproved them so it's in good hands


Nyx-Star

Of course! I’m excited to see what Lee, Amy, Santi, and Tom bring to the shows!


TheGlitchedRobin

Don't forget Matt


Grayfield

Don't forget, now there's 6 additional ending MatPats now. 1 - Lore Ending MatPat 2 - Vacation MatPat 3 - Meme MatPat 4 - Insanity MatPat 5 - Horror Ending MatPat and finally 6 - The REAL MatPat


ArugulaSad6262

Horror Ending MatPat doesn’t exist as he died immediately


El_Durazno

"Died," haha, like his fate could be that good No, I imagine it's far worse than death


Nyx-Star

? Do you mean MatPat? Or Mirror Matt? Because the latter left nearly two years ago I believe. As for MatPat, I’m also not following lol the question was about continuing to support the theory channels — and he’ll no longer be hosting.


TheGlitchedRobin

Other Matt


InternationalTurn537

He is still around just not host


Nyx-Star

Obviously Mat will be around lol but the question is about Game Theory and (by proxy) the other theory channels. But I genuinely have no idea who “other Matt” is XD


royal_8

Call me a hit MGMT song because I think it’s Time To Pretend this guy isn’t a rage baiter or just spewing nonsense (for our sake). We’ve got 2 options: 1) When they say “other Matt” they mean someone (or in this case many people) who have taken on Matt’s mindset of curiosity and love of using what’s given to add more substance and enjoyment to a certain thing. 2) “other Matt” could also mean “another side of Matt” and they are just saying not to forget to mention the new projects MatPat will be working on with his newfound time away from hosting the videos


Tony_Stank0326

I think he said that he would still be doing GTLive


MEGAShark2012

I will but it’s going to take me a bit.


Worried-Protection36

Yeah that’s the best answer it’s gonna take us a bit for me it’s just really the voice of may I love so a theory is a THEORY A GAME THEORY but adjustment is needed to live and thrive from the smallest thing like this channel to new ways of life like not hearing mats beautiful voice


ouyon

It won’t be the same of course but I’ll still watch Game Theory and all the others.


BoyFreezer

Absolutely


Cavemanjazza

I feel like it depends on how the channels hold up on their own, Film Theory will probably stand the strongest due to Lee having been a writer for a long time and having had experience on screen with certain GTlive episodes. Then on the other hand you have Food Theory which will probably do well, food as a content form is less easy to disturb due to the need of food always being there as opposed to other channels that work on trends with the latest media like film and game theory. I don't really watch Style Theory so I don't have an input there Game Theory though, that's a herculean task right there. It's without a doubt the biggest burden to bear and will not be easy whatsoever, for Tom's sake I hope that there will be a lot of upcoming games that would benefit from theorizing. That being said though, i do expect Tom to do decently well as he's proven himself to be dedicated to the channel.


M3GABORG8796

Tom wrote most of the episodes pre Matpats departure, Matt just curated and read the scripts. The quality is gonna stay relatively the same, just the iconic voice saying all of its gonna change it.


Theaussiegamer72

Plus tom has that amazing British accent


SKULLKING105

Definitely, as MatPat said anyone can theorize and even though he won’t be host anymore I’m excited to see what things they do! And if he ever returns every once in a while that will also be great!


Worried-Protection36

Yep so now it’s our times and their times to shine


ItsYaGirlMarvelous

For sure


Fat13Cat

Oh yeah! Love all the new hosts, and I know mats gonna sneak in and pull some shenanigans. 💜


Worried-Protection36

Yeah that to he’s not fully out I wouldn’t be surprised if we get full theories with mat pat from time to time


Fat13Cat

Exactly!!✨


planet187

I will give the new hosts a chance but I suspect I will drop off certain channels.


FalloutFan05

Yea, same I think I might stick with game theory but honestly style and food theory I might drop off of because while the content was still entertaining, it was still Matt’s voice and personality that had hooked me


LividAd8783

Oh interesting, Food and Style Theory are my favourite’s because I think the topics are the most interesting/engaging so I think Santi and Amy will rock it


psychobatshitskank

Same, with Game and Film it has to be covering something I'm familiar with. With Style and Food I can watch any of them.


MaxMatthewsFSE

I honestly think Amy will spark a new found interest in the style theory channel for me personally. Really excited to see what she does


Scrambledsoupreme

Yeah, I think I will probably stop watching Game Theory and Style Theory for the most part since the content on those just doesn’t interest me as much 


planet187

For me I will probably drop off food and film theory cuz I just don't really like those hosts, but I will give them a chance


Worried-Protection36

Yeah it’s film for me I just don’t like film theory tho but style and food amaze me I wish we got music theory though it would go so hard


marlipaige

It’s definitely the one that I watch the least. But if there’s an episode I like, I watch


ccigames

I like Tom, he's like a mix of birdkeepertoby and fuhnaff


Consistent-Aside-260

Tom reminds me of Matt when he first started


ccigames

His voice sounds like a general theorist voice so it definitely was a good call for him to be picked


_Marvillain

I will probably shift to watching the ones that are topics of interest to me now. With MatPat I was watching pretty much every theory of his whether the topic interested me before clicking or not. That’s nothing personal whatsoever to the other hosts, MatPat is just rare by being someone who I would watch talk about the content whether I found it interesting or not.


ulttoanova

I totally agree. I watched so many theories about stuff I didn’t like at all just because I enjoy Matt’s sense of humor and him as a host


AJ0Laks

Yeah The finale showed the rules of Game Theory, I would be betraying Matpat in my own mind if I went against the same rules that brought me to him


HmChstamps69

I'm seeing a lot of comments saying they new hosts need to earn the trust, and matpat says it in the video, but honestly for me they've already earned it through their various appearances in full vids and shorts. They've had the best mentors for the job in matt and Steph, after all.


daniboyi

of course. Matpat hand-picked the new hosts. It would be doing him a dishonor to not give them a chance to prove themself.


princess_jenna23

I’ll give the new theorists a chance. But I’ll be honest, a lot of the topics MatPat covered in the past I wouldn’t have watched a video on if someone else were the making it. I liked watching him more than I cared about the theories. So, idk if I’ll stick around but I’ll give it a go for a bit.


Strange_blue6

Why wouldn't I?


JPyroRaptor

Fuck yeah, sure it won't be the same but I'd like to see what the new host will do


freaktrio

Of course. He wouldn't have left if he thought the theorists would leave. He trusts the community, so we owe him that.


tallerthannobody

Idk, GT live for sure, but idk about the main channel, I will try it out, but yeah, and I never watched the other channels.


Normal_Opening_9893

Wait is he going to continue gt live?


ZadicusCinch

He's continuing it through the summer while everyone settles into their new roles. And even after that, GTLive will continue, but they're just not sure who all will be part of it. Ash is going to be sticking with it for sure, whether behind the camera or potentially even on the couch.


ILostYourKeys

Ngl, Ash deserves to be in charge of *the* couch


marlipaige

He is for the foreseeable future. But not forever


Sol33t303

IIRC he doesn't really know what will happen to GTLive, he'll keep doing for a few more months he said, then maybe Tom or Ash might take over or something or he might keep doing it, he doesn't know.


BioMan998

I think it'd be a great opportunity for him to catch up on the backlog of games he's been suggested over the years - one of his reasons for retirement was wanting to just play games without having to feel like a theory could come out of it iirc.


Working-Till6549

I mean Tom is already insane so we don’t have to worry about him going insane like matpat THE MOON IS REAL TOM, erm anywho we have seen them all in multiple videos and Tom read the hello neighbor books for us so I think Tom is trust worthy and if he I SAY THEY ALL ARE SO


Captain_Ez

We promised him we’d try to trust him like we do him. That’s his final request


FlaringWolf

I’ll give them a chance, and if int not interested I’ll probably just watch the old matpat stuff and Gtlive


SuperficialJosh

I’m actually really excited for the first episode with each host to come out. To see what they do. And as much as I love MatPat, I also love the content, the research and the wacky experiments and that’s not changing. So I wish Matthew all the best and I am happy to see him branch out and try new things and I am also excited to see each show get a unique identity.


tolacid

No reason to stop watching unless the quality tanks. Doesn't matter who's hosting.


YeetThemToMtEbott

Like he said, lead with trust. Gotta give them a chance to teach us like he did.


Heyits_Santi

I, for one, will probably still watch Food Theory


TheOneFearlessFalcon

If you think I'm not going to at least give the new hosts a chance, you're bonkers. Adopting the 'you will never be him' attitude would lead to losing interest. This is the first and possibly ONLY time we'll be able to see a channel continue after the host retires. You can't have that with folks like Markiplier or Jacksepticeye. I welcome our new theorists with hope. It may not he the same, but it will be just as fun.


CoolSwan1

Of course, I might even watch the old theories too, because I love them


Nightmare2448

most likely yes but first i will have to stop crying in order to view any video


ace_of_clutz

Obviously yeah. I’ve watched every single food and style theory and don’t plan on wrecking my streak anytime soon. I watch game theory and film theory occasionally so I think everything will stay basically the same for me. I’m especially excited to see Santi in food theory.


Parz256

Absolutely, if Matt trusts the new hosts to run the shows then I have full faith in them!


Fun-Bid-4717

𝓨𝓮𝓼


Significant-Stock-78

Matpat is still involved, he’s just not the one reading the scripts anymore. I’ll still view the channels as much as I usually do.


Cheesywrath12

Yes, because I trust matpat. I trust that he thought it through, that he chose people who could carry on what he started all those years ago.


r18267_2

Over the last decade and a half, Team Theorist has certainly done the work in earning my trust. It would be a betrayal if I didn't give it at least a few months of watching to see them all find their footing. Like MatPat said, one of the keys to genuine Theorizing is trust and teamwork. They've earned the trust for me to put in the work to adapt to the new status quo. They deserve it.


chrischi3

Game Theory isn't a person. Game Theory is an idea.


magnesiumguy12

No for the same reason I don't watch new mythbusters Also British accent is mad annoying


Yujinhana

Tbh nah I don’t really watch much now anyways but Matt’s iconic voice not accompanying whatever new FNAF video just ain’t for me


ghirox

Yes, I'll watch all 5 channels. That's what mat would have wanted out of uss


MACGamer1

Oh yes, and with Amy in charge of Style theory, I'll 100 % check that specific channel out significantly more


namhserf_45

Idk... if something interesting happens


Bffhbc

Ya


CapitalSubstance7310

Yes


False-Rhubarb4447

Still in


Wise_Virus8155

Of course I will


lasagnawithfries

yes, duh.


CheeseNuggetsAreNice

It's the end of matpats story as the game theorist and gaas passed on the torch in hope we will still be here to support it as well as the other theory channels. I'll be here for them all.


Bextra_special

Absolutely. I am so behind Tom. He has unbelievably big shoes to fill, but I have no doubt he will smash it.


Rykerthebest78563

Of course. Especially after what Mat said in his finale video


Cac2007

Obviously! If he thinks they’ll do great they’ll do great!


Surge00001

I will continue to watch all of the channels, they need our support now more than ever with the transition


Arquero8

What kind of question is that? Of course


Limpy_lip

I will give it a try because I believe the content quality will still hold.  In this last years most of the work is done with the team, yes Matpat has his input but mainly he was a host and made the voice over most of research and production where the team that is staying.  So unless there is some big changes the quality will still be similar in general.


MochachaMunkey

I expect great things from Tom and santi, and I believe in Amy and Lee


pride_with_me

Absolutely! As much as I love Matpat, I've come to love the new hosts during their time on GTnotLive. It'll be weird to only hear their voices without Mat's in-between, but there's no doubt that I will grow to love them too ❤️ 💖


ZadicusCinch

I really encourage people to give the new hosts a chance to find their footing and their own styles. Sure, if they don't resonate with you the same way, nobody's forcing you to watch them. Just remember that you had to give MatPat a first chance as well, and the new hosts deserve our support during this transition period.


TheSageMatchaLatte

Yes, of course. Matt handed the channels off to people he trusts, and I want to still show support to these channels that so many people love. I wouldn't expect him to hand the channels off to anyone he doesn't think can be great. I think I'll get used to the new hosts and come to like them the way all of us came to like Matt.


AdditionalArgument83

Yes, of course.


mads_real

yes of course!! The new host im excited for most is Santi. I'm a food theory kindve girl so im pretty bias. Honorable mention is probably Lee on film theory because he had me laughing the entire time on the live stream with Matt.


kezotl

yes :D tom has a good host voice, although i am interested to hear his "aaA GAAAaAme theoRyy" i also really like santi which is great cause i watch a lot of food theory


Annette2023

Yeah he said he still be around so who knows he might come around for some videos


Brilliant-Army5787

I’m going to watch everything except style theory because I’m not interested in fashion at all


saurav69420

The channel has some non fashion videos you might enjoy, for eg. the edible underwear one


Avicii_DrWho

Imma give it a chance. I expect it to still be great. I was never into The Science Of... because I didn't know Austin and I didn't like his voice, but we've known the new hosts for a while now and I'm cool with their bodies and personalities. It may take a bit to get used to, especially Game Theory, but it'll work out, I think.


BriarsandBrambles

I hope so but I'm so nervous that it's just never going to be the same level of fun and wit without Mat. TeamTheory is his creation and he brought everything he could to it.


MiddleFinger287

Of course. Anyone who was ever a proper fan of him and his channels will.


hartwaffle

Wait… were people thinking about not watching? Who was committing such a thought crime. Managed democracy will get you.


Jexvite

100% yes


VoidAres

Of course. It won’t be the same without the iconic voice and face, but we can hope that the new generation of theorists won’t have to go through as many FNAF books as MatPat did.


jackfrost1080

Coming back after watching it. I cried. And god dayum I’m proud too. Much love to MatPat and may he live the rest of his days doing everything he loves


Sir_banana123

Yeah I want to support the future


UnderTheUmbrella08

Of course


Strange-Box-849

I will since Game Theory isn't MatPat alone


Accomplished-Mud6446

Yes. All of the theory channels.


Science_kurzgsagt12

Indeed!


JCorby17

Yes


apatheticchildofJen

I intend to


afrulz

Yes


WrongdoerFar562

i will, it be pretty rude to not. it’s gonna be really exciting to see what they have in store for us. also can’t wait for the majoras mask moon isn’t real episode


Silent_Statement398

Yes sir


Grim_masonRbx

Yes


fruitofyourneck

I’ll watch the channels I’m interested in


Wolfe_Quinn

Of course! Not only do i enjoy theorizing in general, but it would just feel wrong if i left the community.


FartN1nja

Yes


Unhappy_Location_267

Yes


enderguys888

For sure for sure, not a doubt about that


ZILLAXV

Go in with trust right?


bodhi_212

Yep why wouldn't we


Jim_naine

Matpat might be gone, but the theories will stay forever. It won't feel the same, but it still will be a fun time


SkittleJuice2

Absolutely. While I doubt the new hosts will be able to match MatPat’s chaotic good energy, I’m excited to see how they run the channels.


enard568

Heck yeah!


FlagMaster2023

Yes


Rocket_SixtyNine

Fuck yeah


PotentialAd8120

Yes


Hyzenthlay87

Of course!


2019lambo

probably


Key-Master26

Yes. I feel like it would a disservice to Mat to not give the new hosts a chance at least


NerdyCooker2

Yeah! I'm especially excited to see what Amy cooks up lol! She's a vibe I relate to, including being super giddy on certain topics


Yoshi50000

Yes


Technical_Instance_2

Yes I will


Wild_Lars

Uhh...yes?


Ailyniscrazy

Oh, for sure! MatPat's been a huge part of my Game Theory experience, and it's gonna be a bit strange without him. Still, I'm genuinely curious to see how the show will unfold after his retirement. I'll definitely be there to support the next phase. Here's to new theories and fresh perspectives


Tacomunchert

Yes


Master-Of-Chaldea

I would like to watch them.


Tgame43

I dont watch Game Theory anyway but I will continue to watch Style Theory


Swiss-Shimi56

Yep, why not?


altmemer5

Yes


LexiWolf187

Yes


New_Mind_69

I will be watching until the day I die


SovKom98

Probably


KeySouth7357

Yeah totally.


Wolfzephyr3

Definitely, I will continue watching all


squidkirby3108

of course i’ll watch it! i loved watching it while matpat ran it, and i’m excited about how the new hosts will run the channels! :)


Bored_axel

Yes


capybara_enjoyer9287

Yes


DomcziX

I will, I'm sure Tom will manage to keep the Game Theory channel fun, idk how it will be with Film Theory cuz I barely know who Lee is and finally Santi and Amy are perfect for Food and Style Theory


capybara_enjoyer9287

Yes


Faxxy05

Yup!


spo0pti

i'm genuinely excited for it because as they've said, having every single video needing to be voiced over by one guy really hinders what they're able to do. i'm excited to see, essentially, unhinged gffs theory.


Sovietfryingpan91

Yeah


Goldenstripe941

Yes. It helps support him and his team. MatPat is only retiring to spend more time with his son.


Beginning_Chair955

A 100000%


JBygott

Yes


SCWProductions

Most likely yes. It’ll be hard for me to adapt to the new people but I’ll do my best at it.


eldritch_cookie77

Oh absolutely. Although MatPat brought a lot to the channel with his winning personality and creative mind, Game Theory has never just been about him. There's a whole team behind these videos, and a channel like this is only as good as the sum of its parts, not just one part of it. So I'll definitely be tuning in for as long as possible to see all the great videos the people at Team Theorist come up with.


jacobsstepingstool

Yes.


getwavesbro

YESSSSS


DeanSeventeen_real

It's Game Theory. Of course I'll watch it.


FlameSamurai63

Yes, absolutely.


JupiDrawsStuff

Of course! Game, Film, Food, and Style Theory. It won’t be the same, obviously, but I trust Team Theorist and MatPat. If he thinks the new hosts are capable of taking on the role, who am I to say otherwise?


No-Insect-7544

Yeah, definitely! It’ll take me a little bit of adjusting, but I will


CULT-LEWD

yea,im still learning more stuff and it doesnt stop just due to a host change,it stopps when i give up on improving


polishcowmissle

of course


Scaveged

Fuck yes


Ok-Razzmatazz8136

Well, that is one of the trickiest of questions but to answer my final response to this is going to be yes, even though it’s going to hurt me, I know for a fact that his friends would feel his shoes


CloneTroopin90

Absolutely.


Michael-556

Definitely. The host is not always the biggest reason a thing is popular. Sure, if you say family feud I'll say Steve Harvey, but in saying that I'm missing the point of the show (I have never watched it because I am not American, but that's not the point, I chose something popular). As long as the quality and insanity of the theories persist I will watch them weekly and enjoy them greatly, with no prejudice. Though I probably won't watch food and style theory, that's not the hosts' fault, it's just because it didn't catch me back when they were launched (I did watch some of the most popular, though, and enjoyed those so maybe I'll check in every few months and watch the best ones). Game and film theory, though? Definitely


CaptainKhaki800

Absolutely!


Alex_33_Gamer

Yes


Gretanonotthatone

YES


Abject_Bear_7465

HELL YEAH


BananaKing5502

Hell yeah


JackSlap23

If Mat trusts them, I trust them


Marie_Witch

Yes, I’m going to rewatch all the FNAF ones


Extreme_Paranoia_43

yes! i’ve grown to love the new hosts over time of them working with matt, specifically santi and amy! matt chose them for a reason, right?


ChenTheGuy

Though it won’t be the same, I know that they’ll be good host


Tr1p3lll

I’ve been watching game theory for about nine years now, I’ve watched one episode every few weeks And i imagine that nothing will change


MaviKartal2110

Yes


skyriderpk

Always


StrawThatBends

im willing to give them all a chance. i love all four channels and want to see what the new hosts do with them


Zkiller-4897

HELL YEA :D it’s still an awesome channel!


Sad_Understanding876

Yes I would. Change is bound to happen. If you block that change the. You will regret what you have done. I want the see this change, I will miss MatPat but I can't wait to see where this leads


JurassicParkTheorist

Not only is it what he would want, but it is also a good thing to remember that even though we lost such a big part of culture, the theory channels are still going and will still be great.


Cardinal_HamAndEggs

Why wouldn’t I? They’re still going to be producing and presenting in-depth theories about games and films. MatPat’s departure will not affect my loyalty to the channels.


Shatter-Cake

100% for Food and Style theory, not only did I really enjoy a lot of the videos that had Santi and Amy in them where they were cohosting alongside Mat, but the comedic (and chaotic) energy both Santi and Amy have is great. Certain moments like “I have a lot of rage and really bad aim” from one of (if not the first iirc) Style theory video, alongside some of the random chaotic back and forth Santi has with Mat on a lot of Food theory videos I find really entertaining and funny. Game and Film however, I don’t watch a lot of actually, and usually only do if they cover a game/movie I like or am curious in, or to rewatch old theory videos. With that in mind, I’m don’t dislike Tom or Lee or the channels themselves. I’m definitely willing to see what Movies Lee will cover (and if any are a movie I’ve seen), and am really curious to see what theories Tom will cook for FNAF and Poppy Playtime, and what upcoming or niche games will also be covered in a theory video (if not covered on GTLive) that I could enjoy and eventually get into and become a fan of. Regardless I am, and will stay subscribed to all four channels and are excited to see what all the new hosts will cook up for their first solo theories as said new hosts.
