Sad times in the Let’s Play world as popular groupSuper Best Friendsofficially put an end to their YouTube channel. The channel created video game playthroughs, podcasts, and fighting game specials throughout the past nine years.
Earlier today, they posted a video on YouTube announcing the breakup and explaining why it’s all happening. Woolie says, “Over the last nine years, it’s been really important to us in everything we do with this channel to be direct, honest, and genuine with you. And there’s no reason for that to change now. It doesn’t make it any easier to hear but we’re just going to be real with you. Matt and Pat are no longer friends…” He explains that the recording sessions got less fun for them because of that and the business end of the relationship degraded alongside the friendship.
They note that the channel will stay preserved for people to still watch and enjoy, though they will make content separately for now on. Matt mentioned he is still making hisMatt McMusclesbranded content, which focuses on more scripted content and critiques that expand beyond just video games. He’s also making a game calledThe Takeover, which is a beat ‘em up coming out on Steam. While Woolie will also continue hisYouTubechannel andTwitchstreams, which is a mixture of playthroughs and fighting game content.
The third and final member Pat, however, seems to be more focused onstreamingas well as working on a new podcast with Woolie calledCastle Super Beast.
One of the former members, Liam, roughly left two years ago this month; which created the reality of this channel not necessarily lasting forever. He alsotweetedacknowledging the breakup and hinting at this not being much of a surprise. Liam alsotweetedthat he and Pat are also not friends.
Whether you saw this coming for years or you found it as a surprise as I did; it doesn’t take away the beloved content that the channel put out. If you’re someone who is looking for a playthrough ofRide to Hell: Retributionor maybe someSilent Hill 2, chances are Super Best Friends got you covered. Cheers to theZaibatsu, one last time.
