In First Retirement Interview, MatPat Reflects on 13 Years of YouTube, One Last Game Theory and the ‘Dawn of a New Era’


In an exclusive first interview since his last video on his channel Game Theorists, MatPat chats with Variety about his retirement and what's next.

This platform has allowed MatPat to cultivate a dedicated fanbase, known as “theorists,” who have generously contributed to his numerous multi-million dollar charitable endeavors, such as those benefiting St. Jude Children’s Hospital, raising upwards of $6.3 million. When reflecting on his legacy and what he’s learned as host of his channels, MatPat says he’ll never again doubt the power of small actions and their ability to ricochet off each other, cascading into what he believes will eventually become a more significant, more impactful event. “I never would have suspected that there would be tens of millions of people eager to listen to me count animatronic toes or talk about the real-life science of ‘Minecraft’ or whether Mario could break a block with his fist,” MatPat says.
