I dont really "blame" anyone for this.

My personal thought is that Matt and Pat want to produce different kinds of content and they couldn't get it to work anymore

Yeah, looking for blame isn't the right response. SBFP worked well for a long time, and now that it's stopped working, better to it die and let the boys be free than shackled to it forever.

I'm still sad, their playthroughs were a rock when I was going through a toxic relationship and subsequent divorce, and the channel certainly means something to me in a way no other channel does. It's weird to think I've actually listened to every single SBFC since launch, and watched at least some of every single LP they've done, and I'll never do that again. I'm hopeful, especially since the podcast lives on and that's by far the bigger deal for me, but wow.

It's weird, I was listening to that pilot episode and thinking "man, Woolie really needed this space to vent, this is basically a therapy session about his solo content, huh", but now it hits harder because of the break-up.

Between this and Liam's tweets it definitely feels like this wasn't completely sudden, that there'd been a slow buildup for a while. The way it's being talked about by people who were close/ancillary to the channel makes it sound like it's not a new thing.

I'm not sure where it's coming from, but apparently Matt is cutting ties to Woolie too? I saw a lot of people mentioning it on a couple different sites and I'm not sure if it's just a case of Woolie being with Pat and getting confused or what.

It was along the lines of "Wishing the best for everyone BUT Pat." so uh, yeah take it for what you will

I hope there isn't anything that went down between them, but I could see it as more of a "Matt and Woolie don't really have anything to collaborate on/ want to work on their own things." Matt more or less has built a very distinct thing with his own channel at this point.

Wonder if the Fighterpedia remake stuff is still happening.

To be clear it was that Matt, Woolie and Liam all got @'d in the tweet but Pat was left out, not expressly called out.

Oof. That's what I'm more curious about if that is the case as Woolie seemed to be a genuinely cheerful guy to everyone he came across. I really hope it wasn't a dumb "pick sides woolie one or the other" choice.

To be fair Pat still follows Liam. Could just be a case of not being bothered.

Yeah, in retrospect it seemed like he knew poo poo was getting close to hitting the fan and then prepared everything. In hindsight it was also strange how he had his twitch channel for a while, but only very recently started streaming.

Whoever said Woolie was probably working overtime to try and keep everything running has definitely got a point.

Woolie has always been the backbone of the channel, doing most of the heavy lifting.

There's a surprisingly reasonable 4chan post from someone that claims to know the group and there's no outlandish claims or "it's the girls fault" in it. But it basically boiled down to Pat not being able to read the room (to the point he still doesn't understand why Liam is mad at him/straight up doesn't like him) and Pat getting bitter that Matt gave himself a bigger cut of the paychecks outside of the time Pat had to furnish the studio. Goes into how Pat liked the live unscripted stuff and the concept of being a eceleb while Matt wanted to do more scripted stuff to "elevate the quality" etc.

It went into detail about how Woolie was trying to keep the two separated in recordings hoping that it would be enough to cool them off over time but despite all his plans it just didn't work out- and that folks like Liam were telling Matt to break away for a few months now to work on his own things.

It was kinda believable.

Matt and Woolie will probably still do stuff together but I imagine given Matt's channel is him trying to do more higher production/scripted stuff and Woolie's channel is, in his words, "shitposts" that there's not as much overlap there.

I just found that post and yeah, that makes sense. I can share it here if people wanna read it, but be aware that's pretty much hearsay and it comes from 4chan, only reason I'd be willing to post it here is that it's not 4chan bullshit, it's actually pretty level-headed about what was going on and all that.
