Since Undertale's release, one question has plagued the fan base - Just who is W. D. Gaster? And why don't I ever find this mystery man? Many have speculated that it was just a little code that Toby Fox threw in last minute, but there is so much more to it than that. Welcome to the episode that I am probably most nervous about.

By the way, sorry for all the digressions in this episode but this is a really sensitive franchise for me to cover...

    Fun fact: When you tell Asgore that he's killed you before, he nods sadly, implying that Asgore has knowledge of Frisk's ability to save and load
  • @lizaboboshko1609
    *Seeing matpat sad but still trying to stay happy fills you with determination *you smile
  • @loboros3458
    Imagine hating a YouTuber who puts true visible effort in their videos and loves their community. Disagreeing is fine, hating is just immature
  • @sleepysebbyzzz
    Matpat:"i'm sorry if you don't like me" Me: *Undertale heart breaks* *game over music plays* Asgore: Stay determined
  • You're glad that Matpat still fought for what he believes in. It fills you with determination.
  • @sadytran3701
    It really hurts to see MatPat sad. He puts lots of effort to make these videos. It doesn't feel nice to see such an upbeat guy so sad.

    "Ive got to be Honest, Im Scared of this Game" Fnaf: we've Lost.
  • @cloudy9452
    Matpat, never deserved hate, he opened new ideas for us.
  • @Abyss8564
    Hearing this man speak out against this hate, putting the spotlight of bullying onto himself despite the consequences…knowing that he has the strength to push through all that negativity…it fills you with DETERMINATION.

    Dear Game Theory, As I sit down to pen this letter, I find myself overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions. It is not easy to express the depth of gratitude and introspection that comes with saying goodbye. Our journey together has been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with challenges, triumphs, and a continuous quest for understanding the intricate web of games that life presents. From the very beginning, your presence has been a guiding light, unraveling mysteries and weaving narratives that transcended mere entertainment. You've been a beacon of intellectual stimulation, provoking thoughts and sparking discussions that reached far beyond the confines of the gaming world. The canvas upon which you painted your theories was not limited to pixels and polygons; it extended into the realms of psychology, sociology, and philosophy, inviting us to explore the intricate tapestry of human experience. The journey you've taken us on has been transformative. You've taught us to question assumptions, challenge conventional wisdom, and embrace the beauty of complexity. Whether it was dissecting the lore of our favorite games or delving into the hidden layers of societal structures, you've inspired us to think critically and look beyond the surface. As you embark on a new chapter, know that your legacy remains etched in the hearts and minds of those who've been fortunate enough to be a part of this intellectual adventure. The impact you've had on the gaming community and beyond is immeasurable, leaving an indelible mark that will resonate for years to come. Change is inevitable, and though farewells are bittersweet, they pave the way for new beginnings. Your decision to move on is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of life. As you step into uncharted territories, we, your audience, stand beside you in gratitude for the countless hours of enlightenment, laughter, and camaraderie you've shared with us. May your future endeavors be as rewarding and fulfilling as the journey you've gifted us. While this chapter may be closing, the lessons learned and the memories forged will forever remain a cherished part of our collective experience. Thank you, Game Theory, for the intellectual feast, the laughter, and the profound insights. As you take your leave, know that you carry with you the appreciation and admiration of a community forever changed by your presence. With heartfelt gratitude and best wishes for your future endeavors,

    I don’t even understand why giving an Undertale copy to the pope was judged as a bad idea. If there’s a game that respects the religion’s principles, it is Undertale. It teaches us love, respect and caring about each other. Don’t you worry Matpat. You’re a great man with a lot of bravery.
  • I don't know why some people hate him he said at the end "it's just a theory" besides his channel is just for fun
  • @ssarukani
    (Watching this video after Matpat quit makes you sad) (It fills you with determination) ♡Save Return
  • At the beginning where it says "☯︎☝︎♋︎❍︎♏︎ ❄︎♒︎♏︎□︎❒︎⍓︎ ⧫︎♒︎♏︎❍︎♏︎ ⬧︎□︎■︎♑︎☸︎" in wingdings, it says "[Game Theory theme song]"
  • I know this is a old video but this makes me really sad like matpat didn’t deserve the hate
  • @gage6173
    Alternate timeline: The Pope actually played undertale and is now a gaming YouTuber.
  • @The_Rat_Qu3n3
    watching this after the news that Mat of the Pat quits, I can tell how tired he was. I'm gonna miss you Mat of the Pat. you're a legend and we understand your reasons.
  • @sydneyross1586
