  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSQd7LevOVA&amp;t=127">2:07</a> there&apos;s an editing mistake, if you want to skip the potentially upsetting part skip to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSQd7LevOVA&amp;t=193">3:13</a><br><br>OTHER CORRECTION ABOUT YIIK:<br>Yeah I messed up LOL in all honesty its been a long time since I&apos;ve sat down and played YIIK, and as a result my take on the game was kind of inaccurate. As a lot of people in the comments pointed out, I didn&apos;t play the I.V update which, from what I understand, addresses a lot of the issues present in the original release of the game. Fair to say I was too harsh on the game especially since I was working from an outdated playthrough of the game.<br><br>Now, with that said, I still think its really messed up to recreate her final moments shot-for-shot, and I still think the game is AN example of what you shouldn&apos;t do when adapting real world tragedy in your game. But I admit, its not the WORST example and that was definitely a stretch for me to make a definitive claim on. To all the YIIK fans out there, I apologize. I will be giving the I.V update a shot when I get the chance, and who knows? Maybe I&apos;ll make a dedicated video about YIIK one day! <br><br>Thank you for the constructive feedback regardless, and thank you so much for watching! I&apos;m blown away by the amount of love on this video, we reached number 19 on the YouTube hype list and tons of people have left incredibly kind and emotional comments. So genuinely, thank you all so much. Happy holidays! =) <br>-1KD

  Matpat gave more respect than actual true crime youtubers

  To me, “It’s me” reads more like a victim not wanting to be forgotten.

  I can&apos;t believe I got tricked into watching a really interesting video about internet exploitation of tragedies because game theory.

  another thing to mention: a HUGE part of the original fnaf is the reoccuring theme of corporate negligence, or just negligence in general. kinda fits in to that idea of giving these kinds of things a purpose

  Another fun fact: the Sans is Ness theory is memed on, but he picked up on a lot of details that indicated Sans as a dimensional traveler. Nowadays it&apos;s pretty well accepted that he came from the Deltarune world. People were cruel to the guy

  In conclusion, everyone owes MatPat an apology.

  Matpat was extremely respectful about the discussion of the tragedy considering that other modern-day channels would call it “Nathan went to chuck e cheese’s with a pewpew in his pants and unalived four, almost five people”

  I never understood why people were so mad about MatPat making this theory. People use real life tragedies as inspiration for art all the time. I feel like it&apos;s just a symptom of people taking video-games as an art form less seriously compared to other forms like movies.

  Kind of unrelated note, but I remember how creepy the atmosphere was in the first FNAF Game Theory video. I don&apos;t really get the same vibe from any of the other videos, kind of mirrors with FNAF itself. The first game has this dark vibe and unexplained terror to it, just like how this theory is probably the darkest FNAF theory Matpat has ever made.

  didnt Scott Cawthon say that he would never open a FNAF based restaurant in fear that somebody would actually do these events? This case could be WHY he&apos;d fear that, because he knows there are people out there who would actually fucking do it?<br><br>just a theory.

  fnaf 3... huh...<br>Specifically the game about a horror attraction being made to make a profit off real tragedies that have happened.<br>The very game where you free the spirits of the victims from that same tragedy. (or at least attempt to)
