This announcement is insane to me because this feels, surreal? I always watched your videos after school because I simply loved the concepts you came up with and how fun they were, and still checked out videos even when I began to grow up and get responsibilities. So, seeing how you’ve done what you wanted to now, have a fantastic time, Shyguymask :)
@@Roadierow They can, though. It's not exactly the same, perhaps, but I've been streaming for nearly two decades now. And I don't even have an audience yet. But I keep doing it.
@@thebigdawgj no you can’t streaming and making videos aren’t the same also you have never had an audience so you never had to have a standard to keep them coming back
You more than earned this conclusion man, I don’t watch your content a lot, but when I do, it’s always well thought out, well edited, and enjoyable to watch. I’d like to sincerely thank you for making such quality content for us over time.
I understand why you're leaving, being a youtuber can really be stressful. I don't really know your situation, but I'm guessing you're a full time youtuber, so I'd really be interested in what you're gonna be doing next. If you aren't/weren't a full time youtuber then I understand how stressful it can be even more, as it's the same as having school, which I've got personal experience with. Wish you success in whatever you're gonna be pursuing.
It was a good run. And these days I don't think anyone can blame a creator for choosing to leave UA-cam behind. As you say, it's mostly just a lot of stress and fighting for one's rights to even have one's content left alone... I like to remember the past with fondness. Stuff like finding your channel after seeing a comment by you under K. Rool's "Finest Hour" following his Smash Bros. announcement, seeing your video on the importance of graphics and atmosphere, the occasional Touhou stuff, etc... But though I like to remember the past with fondness, we don't _live_ in the past. The future is where we'll spend the rest of our lives, after all. And so I wish you good luck in the future, Shyguy. May your life be a good one, and may UA-cam plague you no longer but instead just be a mere source of entertainment. ^^
Awwwwww. Well, it was a good run. Your videos were revolutionary for the pvz scene, and other than that, your videos were really enjoyable to watch. I hope that your life ahead of this will be filled with joy and success! -Clark
I’ve seen many channels die or be abandoned over the years, but this doesn’t really feel like that to me. Content is _stopping,_ yes, but it’s not because of some stupid controversy, excessive burnout, or something like that. There’s just nothing more to talk about. Nothing more to do. As Shyguymask said themselves, their job is pretty much complete, the chapter, over. We’re all able to leave this on a nice, satisfying note, giving cheers to one of the biggest gifts to games of all kinds. SGM, I’m happy that you’re happy with where you’ve left off, here, and I’m so glad that you seem excited for what this next chapter in your life may shape up to be. Keep on truckin’, you absolute legend. It’s been great watching you push games I’ve never even played to their absolute limits.
Heya, it's been a good while. But since this is your final call, I have things to say. I've been a pretty long time viewer (even preceding the time I got invested in the Calamity mod for Terraria), though I almost hardly ever watch or even come by your videos in the first place anymore these days (no hard feelings I hope). But I first discovered your channel through your "Can you beat" challenge videos in a bunch of different games (even binge-watched them at some point I believe) and when I saw you had some involvement in Calamity, I was kinda astounded! Also, if you're getting a faint sense of familiarity or deja vu from my name (which I highly doubt), lemme bring this up for a moment; don't know if you remember this, but you commented on a community post of mine about struggling with ULTRAKILL's Flesh Prison and I had to rub my eyes for a sec when I daw that comment. Your sudden appearance alone made me yap in excitement for a good 10 seconds! I presume you had randomly bumped into me from that XP-00 Hypnos theme video which took off my channel months ago. Sorry if this is starting to come off as plugging unneeded self-promo, I've been growing pretty insecure as of late. I'm fine if you choose not to leave a response (or even notice this comment in the first place), you aren't obligated to anyway, and a heart will suffice! With that out of the way, I just wanna bid you one happy farewell and wish you the best of luck moving forward to your next chapters in life! I'm just happy that I got to be part of this one, even if it amounted equally to a single ant in an entire ecosystem.
It feels like so many youtubers have quit this year, but this one definitely hurts the most. You've left your mark on so many people, and I wish you well. Thank you.
Damn… I guess I should’ve expected this would happen one day, but I didn’t think it’d be today… I just gotta say: thank you. I’ve followed this channel since it’s humble grassroots beginnings in the diep days (anyone remember the Gardevoir pfp?) and I got hooked ever since. Watching your channel growth in real time was something amazing, seeing the small time creator for a little browser game I enjoyed make it big and create some truly amazing content. I’ve stuck along for the thick and thin, the good and the bad, and now we finally arrive here at the end. Now, it’s not like you’re vanishing from the internet for good, but this is still the end of an era, and the end of this long, seven-year ride. One last time: thank you, Shyguymask, and I wish you the best on all your future endeavors.
It's hard to express how I feel about this. You were a staple part of my own growing up, your uploads actually got me through some rough spots in life. This is coming dangerously close to a parasocial relationship, I'm aware, but I guess what I'm trying to say is - thank you for bowing out gracefully, rather than burning out and just following trends. So long and thanks for all the fish SGM
thank you for all you’ve done and the joy you’ve brought with your videos. it takes a lot to finish something and move on. wishing you luck in whatever you do next!
So that's how it ends.. One day I came across your challenge video about PvZ without sunflowers and that's how I got to know your channel. Since that moment, many more videos about PvZ have been released, but besides them it was very interesting to watch the passage of other games known personally or only by rumors. You and your channel have become an important part of my life. Including without that video about the passage without sunflowers, perhaps I would not have remembered PvZ, truly my favorite game of all time. With that being said, I want to thank you for the work done. With your videos, you were able to show people how to refresh the impressions of old games with new conditions. It is wonderful. I am very glad that I was able not to miss that video that day. Thank you, ShyGuyMask, for all these emotions that I and all of us received after watching your videos!
This is like watching your childhood hero finally retire. Thank you so much for all the amazing times you've given me, you'll always be a fond memory in my life ❤
Brooo I used to watch your content like 3 years ago when I didn’t have an account haha, sad to see you go but you’re an absolute legend gl in wherever life takes you
Um, as cheesy as this start may be, I doubt you'll read this but I hope you know that to me and many MANY others you were important, in one way or another, that being something that cheered them up during tough times or childhoods for people like me, I just want to say thank you for everything Shyguymask, from every laugh your videos gave me to every jawdropping achievements you've accomplished, I'm sure your channel will be remembered as one of the greatest in our hearts. You'll truly be missed and I think everyone will agree when I say that we hope you have the best life possible, you have been a legend and for the first and last time I comment on a video of yours, thank you very much for everything you've done ♥
All of your videos have been awesome, man. Thanks for creating so much content over the past few years. You'll be missed. Wishing you the best of luck on what you decide to chase next in life.
Thank you for the brilliant videos you developed for the platform. I always loved this slick, relaxing style of yours. Your channel helped me to rediscover my love of flash games, back in 2022. I'll be rewatching them, every now and then. Wish you lots of luck in your new ventures, who knows where the next chapter of your life will go. Thanks for uploading!
Man, I'll really miss this, you and whoisthisgit are pretty much the only people left on yt that still follow the og text only style, which I really appreciate, so you stopping is a big loss for this little corner of the platform, but if you feel like there's nothing else you want to do, then I definitely respect it
Someone once said, “We didn't realise we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun” I can’t think of a better quote that would describe this channel. Thanks for the memories and good times. Good luck in your future and may fortune favor you. Godspeed Shyguymask, Godspeed.
It's really great to see you're feeling a sense of completion from this video making journey, others might feel burnt out or frustrated. I've loved watching all your videos! I will never look at white text video captions with black outlines in the same way again!
I can feel everything you said here, sentence by sentence, probably because I was also a UA-camr. It just sucks because it started out as something you were passionate about, but as time went on, it occupied larger and larger chunks of your life, taking all the time away for you to actually be able to do other things like bonding with family, hanging out with friends or even discovering something new. But I'm happy to know that someone like you, know what is best for himself, and is willing to move on from this platform. The "will still be watching youtube videos" part is so relatable fr but yeah, all the best brother. Always remember you have a channel to come back to whenever you want, this is not the end. :]
This is a sad moment for me. One of my favorite UA-camrs who I watch almost every vid, is now done uploading. I remember seeing your sunflowerless run and wondering why you didn’t have that many subs. That was when I was nine years old and now I’m in high school. Your KR video got me into the series, and it’s now one of my favorite tower defense games ever. You also showed me endless great flash games that I’ll never forget playing. All these memories I hold in my heart, and still play many games shown on this channel. From the moment I saw your channel, I was intrigued by the name itself. Thank you Shyguymask, for all the videos, memories, and great times. You won’t be forgotten anytime soon, and I hope you can have the peaceful, calm and stress free life you deserve. With lots of love ❤, - DaveBa981.
I found your channel when you did the PVZ videos awhile back, followed since and checked in from time to time, I wish i was here sooner, but at least its recent. thank you for showcasing your journey here on this hollow husk of a platform, it was a wild ride, I wish you the best and good luck to wherever life takes you.
While it's quite sad to see you move on, your impact on the lives of a lot of people will not be forgotten. I'm sure that your videos have brought a lot of joy to people who really needed it, while also, as you said it yourself, giving more attention to sadly lesser-known games (hell, you're the reason I discovered CrossCode and it has become my favorite game of all time so thanks i guess). With that said, thank you for all the years of content that had so much passion put into it and, as a parting gift, a wish of good luck to your future endeavors from a lot of your fans.
I don't comment on videos often but you have made mine and many others lives a better experience in general. Your videos are (or in this case were) so well edited and you are a inspiration to me through your work and dedication in your channel. Even though it's sad that you're moving on from your main channel, I'm happy that you made it and posted on it in the first place. Thank you for your great work and I hope you have a great life beyond this point THANK YOU SHYGUYMASK ❤
I came here to check on your channel to see if your still up and running. But seeing this video instantly, I was in a mix of felling of acceptance and sadness. I understand on your reason for quitting, And i respect that.
I like the thumbnail, the map end of the road from BTD 6... anyways, thank you Shyguy, you're the guy who put me back enjoying the games I used to play.
On the behalf of your entire community - thank you. Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment, thank you for being the unmached king of text style videos for many, many years. I wish you the best in moving on, may your plans never fail you. Here is your crown: 👑
Your videos have always brought me joy. I'm really glad that you finally managed to accomplish everything you wanted to do for your channel. I hope you have a more happy life outside of UA-cam. Thanks for everything Shyguymask!
While I haven’t been following your channel like some other I’ve found my self coming back to your videos because how the videos are presented, while the videos are simple on a surface level there is an unknown depth to these videos that I can’t describe I don’t know how these seeming simple videos can keep me invested so much but it’s a welcome surprise when going by the years While I can say for certain that I have not been as emotionally effected by other in the comments by your videos however your videos were to me good vibes, I was going to say good content but if it was just good content there wouldn’t be so much comments The fact is that every video you have made just had good vibes which elevate it from other good videos, it’s like I could always come back to this channel for a video that would just make the mood better due to how entertaining while not costing you to focus on the video, this however doesn’t mean it’s brain rot sludge that’s been pumping out recently What the gist is that your videos are more meaningful than the hundreds of big UA-camrs simply because the videos put out by you truly are genuine Genuine videos that are made with care to bring good vibes to make people happier and it produces good times Though you know what they say about good times, “Good times never last” It’s sad to see a great creator go though it’s probably for the better to take care of yourself when creating is not the priority It doesn’t help that when the platform your working on makes horrible choices with an algorithm that sometimes just wants you to pump out garbage and pushes for it pulling down what you would consider a higher quality creation It’s sometimes something you just don’t want to deal with it Then other times it’s better to cut it off this detriment and move on to other creations not that it was a horrible choice to make videos in fact will be memories that you will hold with you throughout your life It’s rather the better option to move on and say your goodbyes rather than run the channel into the ground and watch it corrupt So with that I can say you are a legend of a creator that will move on forward with your life and bring to creations to this world weather it be animation/drawing, music, or video game development it will be good times Thank you for making videos that were genuine and effected many people you absolute legend skyguymask
I hope life gets less stressful for you! Thanks for all the great content over the years - we appreciate it. I hope you remember this chapter of your life fondly. :)
Thank you shyguymask for practically introducing me to most games ive been playing. Without your content i felt like there would be a huge void of nothingness in my life period as ive kept rewatching your content and playing the games youve shown. Thank you shyguymask for uploading this and its a farewell, sadly.
This is really heartbreaking but ... Good luck out there pal , Ill miss you , you were one of the rare people to make amazing content, and like a lot of them , you are gone from youtube , farewell masked guy
Hey Shyguymask, really sad to hear how things had been regressing for you on UA-cam but it's also great that you're starting this new exciting chapter of your life. UA-camrs like you, Ymfah and Reggie inspired me to begin making my own game. I wanted my game to be one where I could get the most creative, talented and innovative people to be able to pull it apart and do all sorts of really cool things with it. Even though you're finishing up with this part of your life, I just wanted to say you've been really inspirational!
Dang, can't believe you created this channel so young. It's definitely been awesome and I've always loved watching your challenge ideas. But I completely understand what you mean, I'm in my early 20's and I've been discovering so many more things that I want to learn and do. This isn't just the end of something, but rather just 1 of many stepping stones in your life. Maybe the future won't be as "successful" as a quarter of a million UA-cam subscribers, but life can be so much more than that. I'll miss your content for sure but don't let that stop you. Rock on man!
i honestly haven't felt this much sadness ever since stampy ended his lovely world series, but in the end, i genuinely hope that you're able to succeed in whatever you're trying in at life and it's really fun seeing a creator that I enjoyed watching grow over the years. your videos were what was right on youtube, which is hard to say nowadays compared to what we had but there's no point in lamenting in what was. thank you, shyguy
It’s sad to see you go, but if this is what you really want to do, it’s okay! There’s many other UA-cam channels out there, gaming and otherwise. Thank you so much for all the years of video game content, ShyGuyMask. We will all miss you! - Tao Productions
Honestly, accomplishing everything you set out to do is the best reason to wrap things up as opposed to burnout. Thanks for all that you have put out and I think your future prospects will be bright. :)
Thank you shyguymask, I have been watching your videos ever since I was young. You've brought many an aspiring task in making people happy with your contents. Good luck on life!
I still remember watching your crosscode video for first time and thinking it was the coolest game ever. Thank you for introducing me to my favorite game of all time!
So this is how it ends. Another Content creator being a victim of immense stress. I and the rest of the community wish you the best. We truly hope that everything gets better. Goodbye our friend.
How times changed. I wouldn't say I grew up with your channel nor watched it frequently, however what I can say: is the legacy you've created is far greater than you'd imagined. Which is something you should be proud of. I assure most of the games you've done a video on with your channel are ones Ive never heard in my life, however they all seemed interested when you'd did a channel run of them. Have fun, relaxing and finding yourself for this next chapter of your life, however, long or short my it be. :D
As a person who has enjoyed your content for a while now, thank you. Your content will continued to be enjoyed for years to come. So while I miss you, I have high hopes and I’m happy that you have continued on with your life. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
I’ve watched you for for almost DLL the time I’ve been on the internet and it just feels…surreal. I hope you have more fun doing whatever else you want to do!
Wow, I’ve been watching this channel ever since your breakless octopath playthrough. Your content has meant a lot for me, being so unique with the challenge ideas, editing style, and just making your videos enjoyable to watch. Thank you ShyGuyMask for the smiles you put on my, and many others faces❤
Its a shame to see a legend go, but I wish you the best with your life from here! I have been watching your channel for at least 2-3 years at this point, and you are the reason I decided to play many great games like Crosscode, Octopath Traveler, and Epic Battle Fantasy. Thank you for everything you have done and all the effort and work you have put in, and I sincerely hope that one day you may decide to release new challenges if there is anything that would suit your fancy. I wish you the very best life in the future and I hope that you enjoyed this part of your life, being able to play games for a living must have been a blessing. Once again, thank you for everything you have done for us and I wish you the best with your life. Good luck in the future and have a terrific rest of your life ShyGuy!
I feel this too, we've had beef in the past but overall we've had similar youtube paths, there was a time where It felt incredible to be "popular" on youtube, I would tell everyone at school my sub count, I was excited for every little milestone, but as things progressed I started to enjoy things less and less, it was actually when I was peaking with views and subs that I actually enjoyed making videos the least, I always get the urge to come back but when I think about it and the purpose of it I just don't see anything there, I wish I had the passion I once had, and I'm sure you feel the same, I never made a video like this because I didn't want to put a final stamp on things in hopes to return one day, that day hasn't come, maybe one day... but I guess the point of this comment is just to say that I completely understand your decision to call it, and I respect what you've done on youtube, your mark has been left, all the best.
Thank you for all you have done. I haven't been watching recently but I saw this and it reminded me of all the fun stuff you did, my favorites being PvZ and Bloons. I hope you do well in the future!
Thank you for all the good times man. This is a pretty hard one to stomache as you're one of the few channels that I've been consistently watching for the past 5 years, but then again I completely respect and understand your decision. You will still be remembered as a legend in io game, kingdom rush, terraria, btd, and many other communities, and you've had a profound impact on all of these games. Good luck with whatever you're gonna be up to next, there are countless of hobbies waiting to be discovered and skills waiting to be learned ❤🔥
Thank you so much for being a part of my childhood, man. I remember staying up at night to watch your videos because i genuinely loved them. Even now that i'm older and watched your videos far less i'm still really sad it's the end. I knew i should have expected this but it still surprised me, haha. I know i already said thank you, but i want to say it again because your stuff really was a thing i loved and seeing that go is gonna be hard for me, so thank you. It's gonna suck so hard seeing you go, but i hope for the best with whatever you're going to do with your life now. Hopefully it is stress free like you wanted. You really deserve that after all you've done for us. We all want that type of life, and i really do hope that you're able to get it. Stay safe, man.
Thank you Shyguymask, you’ve brought joy to many including myself.
Couldn't have said it better.
Not only a joy, he kept many GAMES alive, may the honorable man be saluted
This journey has been fun to watch, we'll miss you, Shyguymask
not trying to ruin the mood, but who is this guy?
He will probably soon come back
As someone said:
"Don't be sad because it's over. Be happy because it happened."
Wishing you my best on the future!
I guess this sum up everything^^
That was Dr. Suess that said that

Hi I Am Your Fan!
It's crazy how some people think that UA-camrs can just go forever, as if they arent real people. I'll miss you, Shyguymask.
They can, though.
@@thebigdawgj no they can't 💀
@@Roadierow
They can, though. It's not exactly the same, perhaps, but I've been streaming for nearly two decades now. And I don't even have an audience yet. But I keep doing it.

It was great having you my guy, we will all miss you, but also understand your decision. Do what makes you happy.

Nah, whoisthisgit doesn't only use text anymore unfortunately. Sometimes he uses his voice in videos.

Didn't expect to see a Drawn to Life pfp here, love that game

It was a good run. And these days I don't think anyone can blame a creator for choosing to leave UA-cam behind. As you say, it's mostly just a lot of stress and fighting for one's rights to even have one's content left alone... I like to remember the past with fondness.

than that, your videos were really enjoyable to watch. I hope that your life ahead of this will be filled with joy and success! -Clark
A true legend has left us 😢😢
A moment of silence to this man who had made us remember old and fun games and introduced us to lesser known games 😢😢
I’ve seen many channels die or be abandoned over the years, but this doesn’t really feel like that to me. Content is _stopping,_ yes, but it’s not because of some stupid controversy, excessive burnout, or something like that. There’s just nothing more to talk about. Nothing more to do.

This is like watching your childhood hero finally retire. Thank you so much for all the amazing times you've given me, you'll always be a fond memory in my life ❤
Brooo I used to watch your content like 3 years ago when I didn’t have an account haha, sad to see you go but you’re an absolute legend gl in wherever life takes you
I enjoyed every video, the editing style, the gameplay, everything. Thank you for everything, have a nice life.
Um, as cheesy as this start may be, I doubt you'll read this but I hope you know that to me and many MANY others you were important, in one way or another, that being something that cheered them up during tough times or childhoods for people like me, I just want to say thank you for everything Shyguymask, from every laugh your videos gave me to every jawdropping achievements you've accomplished, I'm sure your channel will be remembered as one of the greatest in our hearts. You'll truly be missed and I think everyone will agree when I say that we hope you have the best life possible, you have been a legend and for the first and last time I comment on a video of yours, thank you very much for everything you've done ♥
Hope you move on to bigger and greater things in life, man. It's been one hell of ride.
All of your videos have been awesome, man. Thanks for creating so much content over the past few years. You'll be missed. Wishing you the best of luck on what you decide to chase next in life.
Thank you for the brilliant videos you developed for the platform. I always loved this slick, relaxing style of yours. Your channel helped me to rediscover my love of flash games, back in 2022. I'll be rewatching them, every now and then. Wish you lots of luck in your new ventures, who knows where the next chapter of your life will go. Thanks for uploading!
Man, I'll really miss this, you and whoisthisgit are pretty much the only people left on yt that still follow the og text only style, which I really appreciate, so you stopping is a big loss for this little corner of the platform, but if you feel like there's nothing else you want to do, then I definitely respect it
Wand of sparking does great text only stared valley videos
And Skawo does it too
@@azimmeme9994 totally forgot about him, he is seriously underrated
@@cantwontdo9127yeah, WoS is nice too
I salute you, you absolute legend. You will be missed.
I’m not sad it’s over. I’m happy that it happened, and you’re moving on, because all good things must come to a end. Thank you.
Someone once said,
“We didn't realise we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun”
I can’t think of a better quote that would describe this channel. Thanks for the memories and good times. Good luck in your future and may fortune favor you.
Godspeed Shyguymask, Godspeed.
It's really great to see you're feeling a sense of completion from this video making journey, others might feel burnt out or frustrated. I've loved watching all your videos! I will never look at white text video captions with black outlines in the same way again!
this, this brings a tear to my eye, thank you shyguy, i still remember that qna video like my name for some reason 😂
I can feel everything you said here, sentence by sentence, probably because I was also a UA-camr. It just sucks because it started out as something you were passionate about, but as time went on, it occupied larger and larger chunks of your life, taking all the time away for you to actually be able to do other things like bonding with family, hanging out with friends or even discovering something new. But I'm happy to know that someone like you, know what is best for himself, and is willing to move on from this platform. The "will still be watching youtube videos" part is so relatable fr but yeah, all the best brother. Always remember you have a channel to come back to whenever you want, this is not the end. :]
This is a sad moment for me. One of my favorite UA-camrs who I watch almost every vid, is now done uploading. I remember seeing your sunflowerless run and wondering why you didn’t have that many subs. That was when I was nine years old and now I’m in high school. Your KR video got me into the series, and it’s now one of my favorite tower defense games ever. You also showed me endless great flash games that I’ll never forget playing. All these memories I hold in my heart, and still play many games shown on this channel. From the moment I saw your channel, I was intrigued by the name itself. Thank you Shyguymask, for all the videos, memories, and great times. You won’t be forgotten anytime soon, and I hope you can have the peaceful, calm and stress free life you deserve. With lots of love ❤, - DaveBa981.
This channel honestly meant and still means a lot to me. Thanks shyguy, c'est fini.
I found your channel when you did the PVZ videos awhile back, followed since and checked in from time to time, I wish i was here sooner, but at least its recent. thank you for showcasing your journey here on this hollow husk of a platform, it was a wild ride, I wish you the best and good luck to wherever life takes you.
I've really appreciated your videos over a few years! Best of luck with whatever comes next for you. Thanks for what you've done
I will miss you my man. Was watching you since 2017. Thank you for all. Stay strong and good luck.
It’s been an honor to watch content like yours, truly one of a kind
Godspeed soldier, may all of your future endeavors be beyond perfect
I’m gonna miss you bro, I remember all those nights watching your pvz content. You’re goated
285k subs, not a bad run. Your videos have given me thorough enjoyment, just know that even a discontinued chamnel still can bring people joy.
While it's quite sad to see you move on, your impact on the lives of a lot of people will not be forgotten. I'm sure that your videos have brought a lot of joy to people who really needed it, while also, as you said it yourself, giving more attention to sadly lesser-known games (hell, you're the reason I discovered CrossCode and it has become my favorite game of all time so thanks i guess). With that said, thank you for all the years of content that had so much passion put into it and, as a parting gift, a wish of good luck to your future endeavors from a lot of your fans.
I don't comment on videos often but you have made mine and many others lives a better experience in general. Your videos are (or in this case were) so well edited and you are a inspiration to me through your work and dedication in your channel. Even though it's sad that you're moving on from your main channel, I'm happy that you made it and posted on it in the first place.
Thank you for your great work and I hope you have a great life beyond this point
THANK YOU SHYGUYMASK ❤
goop
@@thesporkening well said
I came here to check on your channel to see if your still up and running. But seeing this video instantly, I was in a mix of felling of acceptance and sadness. I understand on your reason for quitting, And i respect that.
I like the thumbnail, the map end of the road from BTD 6... anyways, thank you Shyguy, you're the guy who put me back enjoying the games I used to play.
You’ll be missed bro❤
On the behalf of your entire community - thank you. Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment, thank you for being the unmached king of text style videos for many, many years. I wish you the best in moving on, may your plans never fail you. Here is your crown: 👑
thank your for your works! hope all goes well in the future
Your videos have always brought me joy. I'm really glad that you finally managed to accomplish everything you wanted to do for your channel. I hope you have a more happy life outside of UA-cam. Thanks for everything Shyguymask!
While I haven’t been following your channel like some other I’ve found my self coming back to your videos because how the videos are presented, while the videos are simple on a surface level there is an unknown depth to these videos that I can’t describe
I don’t know how these seeming simple videos can keep me invested so much but it’s a welcome surprise when going by the years
While I can say for certain that I have not been as emotionally effected by other in the comments by your videos however your videos were to me good vibes, I was going to say good content but if it was just good content there wouldn’t be so much comments
The fact is that every video you have made just had good vibes which elevate it from other good videos, it’s like I could always come back to this channel for a video that would just make the mood better due to how entertaining while not costing you to focus on the video, this however doesn’t mean it’s brain rot sludge that’s been pumping out recently
What the gist is that your videos are more meaningful than the hundreds of big UA-camrs simply because the videos put out by you truly are genuine
Genuine videos that are made with care to bring good vibes to make people happier and it produces good times
Though you know what they say about good times,
“Good times never last”
It’s sad to see a great creator go though it’s probably for the better to take care of yourself when creating is not the priority
It doesn’t help that when the platform your working on makes horrible choices with an algorithm that sometimes just wants you to pump out garbage and pushes for it pulling down what you would consider a higher quality creation
It’s sometimes something you just don’t want to deal with it
Then other times it’s better to cut it off this detriment and move on to other creations not that it was a horrible choice to make videos in fact will be memories that you will hold with you throughout your life
It’s rather the better option to move on and say your goodbyes rather than run the channel into the ground and watch it corrupt
So with that I can say you are a legend of a creator that will move on forward with your life and bring to creations to this world weather it be animation/drawing, music, or video game development it will be good times
Thank you for making videos that were genuine and effected many people you absolute legend skyguymask
(P.S hopefully I didn’t yap to much but it probably doesn’t matter cause this is one in a thousand comments currently)
I hope life gets less stressful for you! Thanks for all the great content over the years - we appreciate it. I hope you remember this chapter of your life fondly. :)
Thank you shyguymask for practically introducing me to most games ive been playing. Without your content i felt like there would be a huge void of nothingness in my life period as ive kept rewatching your content and playing the games youve shown. Thank you shyguymask for uploading this and its a farewell, sadly.
Thank you for the content and the challenges over the years. It will live down as great memories and neat stuff I might come back to from time to time
This is really heartbreaking but ... Good luck out there pal , Ill miss you , you were one of the rare people to make amazing content, and like a lot of them , you are gone from youtube , farewell masked guy
And yet another great content creator has fallen, we will always remember you ShyGuyMask!
thank you dude, you really made my days during lockdown
Hey Shyguymask, really sad to hear how things had been regressing for you on UA-cam but it's also great that you're starting this new exciting chapter of your life. UA-camrs like you, Ymfah and Reggie inspired me to begin making my own game. I wanted my game to be one where I could get the most creative, talented and innovative people to be able to pull it apart and do all sorts of really cool things with it. Even though you're finishing up with this part of your life, I just wanted to say you've been really inspirational!
Dang, can't believe you created this channel so young. It's definitely been awesome and I've always loved watching your challenge ideas. But I completely understand what you mean, I'm in my early 20's and I've been discovering so many more things that I want to learn and do. This isn't just the end of something, but rather just 1 of many stepping stones in your life. Maybe the future won't be as "successful" as a quarter of a million UA-cam subscribers, but life can be so much more than that. I'll miss your content for sure but don't let that stop you. Rock on man!
i honestly haven't felt this much sadness ever since stampy ended his lovely world series, but in the end, i genuinely hope that you're able to succeed in whatever you're trying in at life and it's really fun seeing a creator that I enjoyed watching grow over the years.
your videos were what was right on youtube, which is hard to say nowadays compared to what we had but there's no point in lamenting in what was.
thank you, shyguy
Thanks for all the videos you made, and giving us a satisfying closure. Good luck with your future endeavors
Thank you for all the fun videos, hope you do great no matter what you decide to do after this!
It’s sad to see you go, but if this is what you really want to do, it’s okay! There’s many other UA-cam channels out there, gaming and otherwise.
Thank you so much for all the years of video game content, ShyGuyMask. We will all miss you!
- Tao Productions
Honestly, accomplishing everything you set out to do is the best reason to wrap things up as opposed to burnout. Thanks for all that you have put out and I think your future prospects will be bright. :)
Thank you shyguymask, I have been watching your videos ever since I was young. You've brought many an aspiring task in making people happy with your contents. Good luck on life!
I still remember watching your crosscode video for first time and thinking it was the coolest game ever. Thank you for introducing me to my favorite game of all time!
You'll never be forgotten SGM now feeling like tearing up
So this is how it ends. Another Content creator being a victim of immense stress. I and the rest of the community wish you the best. We truly hope that everything gets better. Goodbye our friend.
My favorite video is PVZ hard mode. It was AMAZING! I would watch it over and over and over again. YOU ARE AMAZING
You inspired me to do my own challenge run ideas. Thanks for making awesome content for us to watch! :)
Thank you for the hours of entertainment you have given to us all
Good luck on your future plans, whatever they may be. Thanks for all the content, I enjoyed watching it.
I also want to thank you. It is fun watching your videos during the pandemic.
I loved your PVZ vids. You practically revived a community with those. I wish you the best of luck with everything else you plan to do.
Takes guts to do something like this, I applaud you, and hope you can pursue something you really truly enjoy :)
How times changed. I wouldn't say I grew up with your channel nor watched it frequently, however what I can say: is the legacy you've created is far greater than you'd imagined. Which is something you should be proud of.
I assure most of the games you've done a video on with your channel are ones Ive never heard in my life, however they all seemed interested when you'd did a channel run of them.
Have fun, relaxing and finding yourself for this next chapter of your life, however, long or short my it be. :D
It was a good run. I'll be watching your videos every now and then
Thanks for your videos over the years! Fun to watch. I wish you the best.
As a person who has enjoyed your content for a while now, thank you. Your content will continued to be enjoyed for years to come. So while I miss you, I have high hopes and I’m happy that you have continued on with your life. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
Godspeed ShyGuyMask.
We'll miss you dude.
Thanks for all the very entertaining and well edited videos.
I’ve watched you for for almost DLL the time I’ve been on the internet and it just feels…surreal. I hope you have more fun doing whatever else you want to do!
Wow, I’ve been watching this channel ever since your breakless octopath playthrough. Your content has meant a lot for me, being so unique with the challenge ideas, editing style, and just making your videos enjoyable to watch. Thank you ShyGuyMask for the smiles you put on my, and many others faces❤
May your journey through this world be full of wonderful experiences.
this man is the reason i played so many games like ebf4, crosscode replaying pvz and so much more. thank you shyguymask
Thanks for showing Castlevania/Touhou series to me. Godspeed!
You will be missed, and thanks for making great content. Have a good life
Its a shame to see a legend go, but I wish you the best with your life from here!
I have been watching your channel for at least 2-3 years at this point, and you are the reason I decided to play many great games like Crosscode, Octopath Traveler, and Epic Battle Fantasy. Thank you for everything you have done and all the effort and work you have put in, and I sincerely hope that one day you may decide to release new challenges if there is anything that would suit your fancy. I wish you the very best life in the future and I hope that you enjoyed this part of your life, being able to play games for a living must have been a blessing.
Once again, thank you for everything you have done for us and I wish you the best with your life. Good luck in the future and have a terrific rest of your life ShyGuy!
I feel this too, we've had beef in the past but overall we've had similar youtube paths, there was a time where It felt incredible to be "popular" on youtube, I would tell everyone at school my sub count, I was excited for every little milestone, but as things progressed I started to enjoy things less and less, it was actually when I was peaking with views and subs that I actually enjoyed making videos the least, I always get the urge to come back but when I think about it and the purpose of it I just don't see anything there, I wish I had the passion I once had, and I'm sure you feel the same, I never made a video like this because I didn't want to put a final stamp on things in hopes to return one day, that day hasn't come, maybe one day... but I guess the point of this comment is just to say that I completely understand your decision to call it, and I respect what you've done on youtube, your mark has been left, all the best.
Thank you for all you have done. I haven't been watching recently but I saw this and it reminded me of all the fun stuff you did, my favorites being PvZ and Bloons. I hope you do well in the future!
Thank you for all the good times man. This is a pretty hard one to stomache as you're one of the few channels that I've been consistently watching for the past 5 years, but then again I completely respect and understand your decision. You will still be remembered as a legend in io game, kingdom rush, terraria, btd, and many other communities, and you've had a profound impact on all of these games.
Good luck with whatever you're gonna be up to next, there are countless of hobbies waiting to be discovered and skills waiting to be learned ❤🔥
Thank you so much for being a part of my childhood, man. I remember staying up at night to watch your videos because i genuinely loved them. Even now that i'm older and watched your videos far less i'm still really sad it's the end. I knew i should have expected this but it still surprised me, haha. I know i already said thank you, but i want to say it again because your stuff really was a thing i loved and seeing that go is gonna be hard for me, so thank you. It's gonna suck so hard seeing you go, but i hope for the best with whatever you're going to do with your life now. Hopefully it is stress free like you wanted. You really deserve that after all you've done for us. We all want that type of life, and i really do hope that you're able to get it.
Stay safe, man.
thank you for a lot of joy and entertainment over the years: good luck with everything and anything else you want to do from now on!
thank you for all the years of fun, you brought a lot of happy memories to my life :)
Thank you for all the joy you brought us. And thank you for introducing me to CrossCode, absolute masterpiece of a game.
