Bad News: An Announcement from Kyle

First the blunt facts:
I’ll be leaving Easy Allies and Los Angeles at the end of next month
My last solo stream will be Friday, April 17th.
My last group stream will be Tuesday, April 21st.
My last Easy Allies Podcast will be posted on Friday, April 24th for early access and publicly on Sunday, April 26th.

Apologies if that was abrupt, I’ve just read a few of these kinds of posts before and the opening sentences are always excruciating as you’re just waiting to get to the bad news.
And I realize this is bad news in a time of rampant bad news. I have a job that I love working with people I love for a community I love and yet today I’m announcing that, after four years with Easy Allies, it’s time for me to go.

Before anything else I need to make it clear how grateful I am to the Easy Allies community. From March of 2016, when we nervously cobbled Easy Allies together, to today, I feel like a different, calmer, more understanding person. I feel simply better. And, sincerely, not just saying this to be sweet, I owe a great deal of that feeling to this amorphous collection of funny and supportive internet viewers and commenters. I frequently think about the people who have said I’ve improved their day or week or year, and I can only offer my earnest thanks in return and apologize for putting myself first this time.

Our team has known about my exit for a while and have been making plans to cover my absence. The Easy Allies Podcast will of course continue; Jones will nurture it like his very own podcast. Gundam streams will carry on, Damiani will produce Achieve It Yourself, and Don has promised to pick up my slack for future betting specials. No one has volunteered to take over my trash bag duties yet.

As for my own future, I can’t say where I’m going. Not in a fun way where I have a sweet gig lined up that has to stay secret for now, I actually don’t know. Usually people who write these will say “Can’t wait to see what’s next, very excited! I’m very young baby!” but to be honest with you I’m terrified of not knowing what’s next, and that’s sort of the point.
My fear is that your fear is that I’ll just go do what I’m doing now somewhere else. That’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for my life’s Main Thing, something that demands my full potential and potentially fully failing at it. Currently I feel like I’m eating french fries every day. I love french fries, I will always eat french fries, but I'm coming to realize I have to eat more than french fries.

This is also to say that I don’t imagine I’ll disappear forever. I want to get my Main Thing established, or at least get on the path to this nebulous Main Thing, and then figure out my french fries from there. I told you I’m streaming a full playthrough of Digimon World and you better believe I’m going to follow through on that. I’m just not going to start up my own Twitch channel next week. Please understand if I’m offline for a while.  

If you have questions, concerns, advice, or just want to make sure this isn’t a prank, I’m starting tonight’s stream a half hour early to give us all a chance to talk about everything. ( 8:30pm PT on twitch.tv/easyallies ) EDIT: Now available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO6Px29ngmA

Once more I’d like to thank the supporters of Easy Allies. I only have this opportunity because of everything you’ve given us. You might have noticed I’ve stopped using “Love and Respect” as a signoff in Patreon posts. Secretly I just hated seeing it used against us as the stupidest ironic checkmate in comments sections. However, I’d like to indulge in the notion one last time as I feel it’s especially appropriate in this situation.

Love and Respect,
Kyle 

Comments

Well, I went to YouTube to continue watching an episode of ‘Never Too Late to Dreamcast’, and was met on the homepage by the Q&A video following this announcement. My mouth immediately fell agape at the title of that video. I guess I’m kind of glad that I didn’t see this news when it happened, because my day is pretty ruined. I’m SUPER bummed that I won’t get to see you having fun with the Allies anymore. You are definitely my favorite. I love your sense of humor, your talent, your ambition, and just the excellently weird vibe you bring to everything you do. HOWMEVER, despite the darkness of this news, I’m excited for you. I’m positive that you’ll continue to do wonderful things. Wherever you end up going, whatever you end up doing, I will certainly be following along. I need Kyle content no matter where I have to get it! Thank you for everything you’ve done with EZA. You’re amazing. A very sincere Love & Respect to you. ❤️🖤🤍

Don't think I have ever commented on anything Easy Allies, but have been watching since the first episode of Final Bosman. Just wanted to say thanks for all the shows and fun. Good luck with whatever comes next! Love and Respect.

John G

Good luck Kyle. Whatever the future brings your way im sure you'll kill it! Just wanted to say thank you for all you've done as part of EZA. Love and Respect.

Joseph Baker

I know i am nobody to you, but I'm going to miss you. Good luck wherever you go ^^

Ali Almutawa

Dear Kyle, you will be missed. I still remember your "Playstation Meeting Dos and Don'ts" episode from the good old GameTrailers days. Those 9 minutes should be mandatory to watch for every big game executive before they release a new console............ I hope you find what you are looking for. And I hope we get to see you again some day!

Kyle, your weekly podcasts have been the highlight of my week for a long time and I appreciate all the hard work and humor you put into the EZA. Good luck in the future and I hope to see you with the rest of the guys from time to time. Love and Respect

You know it baby

Easy Allies

I left a simple comment the other day here but I wanted to come back and write something more personal. For me, you (Kyle) leaving is especially sad because ironically without him I might not have become a fan of EZA to begin with. I actually became a fan of The Final Bosman a mere month or so before GT shut down, so for me I had not had the chance to get to know the rest of the soon-to-be Allies. This meant that when EZA was launched, my thoughts were "Oh rad, Kyle is there, I can look forward to the Final Bosman successor and maybe some other cool stuff." Of course, that successor never did happen but the other cool stuff definitely did, as by following EZA I grew to love and respect all of the Allies and their own unique talents and qualities, and I happy to call myself a fan of EZA as a whole. Of course, you and all the things about EZA that are distinctly you (much love for Box Peek, Don't Call Me Mama and all his work as the podcast host) will be missed dearly. Even so, I look forward to what you do from here on out, whatever your One True Thing may be. I wish you the best in all your future endevours.

CosmicCrown

In my opinion, Final Bosman was the genesis of EZA. It was what set lighter tone that all Allies carry to this day in their work. But you and Jones and the rest of the crew evolved it so much that it seems your departure won´t affect things that much. All I can say is thanks for the laughs and good luck out there.

Thank you Kyle, Like a lot of people here I’ve been following your journey since the early GT Playstation Meeting videos. Through that time you have made my drives to work something to look forward to, and probably made me look like an idiot smiling way too much or laughing to no-one. Most of all I will miss your laugh, when you think something is REALLY funny. But having 2 kids means I’m actually many months behind most in content. So I’m looking forward to having you around in my watch later folder for the next couple of years. Good luck, have fun, and may tomorrow be forever yours

Trent Gherghetta

Wow, really sad to read Kyle, but I really feel you in that quest for your Main Thing. Sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith, like Etzio 😝 we will all really miss you. Take care!

Hugo Kalm

Good luck, Kyle! May you find what you are looking for. You shall be missed.

I fear his Main Thing won't be related to videogames at all. I just hope Kyle doesn't leave the public eye, I'd miss the dude. His humour and personality is something I can't get enough of.

You read all 794 comments, didn't you?

Branden Baisden

I'm going to miss you. Good luck finding what you're looking for.

"I’ll be leaving Easy Allies and Los Angeles at the end of next month" The compulsion to travel is a Coronavirus symptom.

Daniel Scruggs

Kyle, I just wanted to say that your absence among EZA will be deeply felt, you are by far my favourite Ally and it's hard to imagine how the streams, videos and podcast will be without you bringing your weird and deeply appreciated sense of humor. I wish the best of luck to you!

Good Luck & God Bless, Dark Prince of Nerd Media!

Matt Jura

Sad to hear you're leaving Kyle, but like everyone else has said, we love ya buddy and wish nothing but the best for your future endeavors!! You will be greatly missed

Im so sad to hear this Kyle...but I also understand if you feel like you are at a time & place in your life where you want to move on from Easy Allies. I get it, but God damm I'm gonna miss you brother. You are hands down, out of everyone, the funniest Ally, with the best comedic bits and timing. Having watched you since the GT days of "The Final Bosman", I knew you were smart and hilarious, but also that you were the kind of person that an audience could connect with and take in both joy & inspiration. Since GT to Easy Allies, the energy you brought every time you were on screen really made me feel like you were constantly inviting me to be a part of something special, and I always really appreciated that. You have a very good heart Kyle, and I thank you greatly for all your hard work, and the joy you have repeatedly brought into my life. I really hope you find happiness and success in whatever you find in your future. Godspeed friend, Love & Respect.

Tegan Combatti

Thanks for all the chill streams where you did all the work, and we were along for the ride, more often wild than not. I think everyone at the Easy Allies will thank you for your love and care, and wish for your success. Good luck and God speed, for where-ever your steps take you next, and I hope we see you around on the couch sometime. And for the rest of the Allies, I'm scared, but excited to see where things go from now on. Such is life.

Very sorry to see you leave, but I hope you find your main thing! I've been following since Gametrailers and The Final Bosman, and though I never can time the live streams right due to time zones, I catch up on almost all your streams on twitch and youtube (usually at work to an embarrassing degree of procrastination, so I guess my productivity will go up after you leave). Again, super thankful for your streams and i hope to see some french fries in the future! L&R

Extremely bummed about this. The Final Bosman was my first introduction to Game Trailers, and subsequently the GT Time podcast and other GT content. Kyle will be very missed. That said, I wish him the best, and I will continue to follow and support whatever he does next, as well as continue my support for EZA. Godspeed, Kyle, L&R, and tomorrow is forever all ours.

Solertia

Kyle I don't know if you'll read this or not, but this is my first time actually posting to the patreon even though I've been a patron since the start. I wish you the best of luck in finding what it is you want to do with your life. It's going to be really sad not having you around the rest of the allies, but I really respect that you don't want to just 'eat french fries' forever. I'll be sure to watch you stream and hope to support you wherever you go in the future. You're a very talented person and I'm sure you'll be awesome at whatever you choose to do!

On your journey to find your MAIN THING, if you run into the "belated love epiphany" trope, where if you discover "easy allies WAS my MAIN THING all along!", dont be shy about coming back someday! Also when you get back into a streaming groove, maybe stream some smash bros with the ben, huber, and brad online to keep in touch? As someone who lives faraway from alot of my friends, thats what we play!

Justin Loomis

I have enjoyed your content for years. You will be missed. I wish you the best in all your new endeavors.

Phew this is a crazy update. Just from a complete random person's perspective, you have a great group of colleagues doing something you enjoy. I can understand doing something different with a plan, but this seems very haphazard. I'm sure everyone has that midlife crisis moment, but I don't know man. Would it not be better to do things staggered, if you want to produce more do so on the side, or become more involved with Geoff and his show. I do hope things work out ultimately.

Wesley

Dang... super bummer. What is the best way to stay "up to date" with your possible future "Main Thing", if that comes to fruition? Twitter?

Thanks Kyle, loved all you've done with eza. I've gotten so used to you and the other allies always being a few clicks away it's going to be odd not seeing you in the mix. Whish you the the best.

Seaton Mclean

I don't get massively involved with the community but I just wanted to say I appreciate every piece of content you've worked on and put up and will really miss what you brought to the team and the channel. I recently made that same decision to completely change my career so I understand that feeling inside that you need to do something different or more. Thank you for all you've given to us and I really hope you can find your 'main thing'.

Culann Davies

I've appreciated your contributions to Gametrailers and Easy Allies since the first Final Bosman and Easy Allies Podcast. All the best on the next chapter in your journey. I especially relate as a fellow 30-something who has a deep feeling of unease about the work I do and where I live. I hope that you find your true calling.

Israfel

Kyle, thank you so much for bringing your creative input to all of the Easy Allies output. I'm very much going to miss it. I hope you are able and everyone is willing for you to make appearances from time to time, on whatever is considered to be an appropriate frequent basis. I am very much going to miss your weekly podcast dynamic with the allies. I am very much going to miss you and Jones playing Pokemon, dude, that stream was so enjoyable. Arguably, from Huber's hype to Ben's articulate ability - your personality (especially the humor), is an Easy Allies dynamic staple that will be sorely missed. If for some reason, you don't find what you're looking for in your post EZA world, please come back. It shouldn't be looked at in a negative way. You are taking a risk right now, one that makes sense for you but nonetheless a risk. As you do love your job and the rest of the allies, I doubt I would be wrong from saying they would welcome you home again and there is no shame in that. Any perceived shame is a negative construct of the entertainment industry, meant to act as a label on the ego of an individual's career. It doesn't hold a candle to the love of your family, friends and community. LOVE AND RESPECT Good luck with everything!

I was lonely and isolated when I started watching you all at GT. I am greatful to you for your honest authentic way of communicating with each other and us. You all found a way to avoid the corporate shill, do it commity or over the top bombastic, BS that so many of the other games media seemed to fall into. I am glad to see you all grow and I hope I have also. Kyle Love and Respect my dude keep being authentic and honest, you will do your best that way. We will miss you till you surface again.

Hi Kyle, I’m one of those “never post any comments but this time I have to” people. I’ve been following your work on regular basis since GT days and it’s pretty insane that for years I’ve been hearing your voice almost every week. Even though I completely understand how you feel and I’m not completely surprised, I have to tell you that your work has influenced me as much as movies and TV shows from the best directors or songs from my favourite artists. You’ve already given so much joy to GT and EZA fans around the globe and I honestly can’t thank you enough and wish you all the best with whatever your next thing is. Love & Respect from Czech Republic! Jakub

Congratulation on your new gig! I loved every second of your presence on easy allies. I hope to hear about you later on when you feel more comfortable.

Kyle, being a viewer since the GT days...Not gonna lie, this is sort of losing a dear friend but realizing he needs to find himself fully and find his way... Personally, I thnik at some level I understand you. When I finished my law degree, I just started working in my fathers firm here in Spain, and altough it was comforatbale and I liked what I did, I always felt I needed something more. 4 years ago, I quit my father's firm with some sort of family drama that ensued ( I was supposed to carry on the legacy etc) because I dind't like the branch of law I was practicing, and I didn't like to practice it "alone" (we were a very small firm). So I just went and from 0 specilized in another branch of law, I studied, held internships with 30 years of age and hoped to catch a break. It was hard, it was stressful but I don't regret any minute of it. Now, 3 years after the leap, I'm associate council in a firm which specializes in EU law, and are part of a great team of people and friends, and going to work is a tremendous joy that fulfills me. We are all, and me personally tremendously grateful of what you guys give us week after week. It is very important for a lot of people all around the world. For that you have my most sincere thank you Kyle. We will miss you, but I really hope it is not a goodbye but a see you soon. Come around from time to time and let us know how you are doing and just let us see you in the company of the other allies, having a blast talking about everything and nothing at the same time. Hope you find what you are looking Kyle, hope you find that fine steak. All the way from Spain, I wish you the best of luck my friend. Love & Respect. Get after it Kyle, and see you around!

I hope your main thing will include things in the vein of box peek, I love your writing and humor.

Couldn't just only leave a comment on Youtube, I have to thank you and wish you all the best here as well. And even though I'm pretty sure this is the last thing you want to think about right now and this is only me talking, I just want to put it out there that as far as I'm concerned you're always welcome back.

LukeW

Oh wow, I did not expect that. While I am pretty bummed out, I wish you all the best for all your future endeavors. Thank you for everything you've done!

Oh man that is tough news to hear. I really love to have you around as a sort of imaginary best friend. I was doing sprite work and building backgrounds in Aseprite while listening to you and your music after my break up and loved every second of it. Of course I love all of Easy Allies, no slight intended, but you are one of the most important people to myself personally on the internet. I just hope you find your thing and that you will stream parts of it so we will be able to take part in your inevitable failing in it. Love & Respect 4-ever.

triphide

I'm one of the people you mentioned in your leaving video. Someone who just watches and isn't big on commenting or whatever. I just found out waking up this morning in my YouTube recommended videos list and I'm gutted to say the least. The Final Bosman was the reason I followed GT, and after GT you were the reason I found easy allies. Luckily, Huber and Ben have become steadfast favourites of mine to watch as well but seeing you go is heartbreaking. I hope you find your main thing soon so you can keep eating fries with us. L&R. ❤️

Prime Primeson

I wish you all the best! Love and respect.

Jimmy Liljegren

I started watching GT because of you and the Final Bosman and I have loved it all ever since! You bring such a unique and enjoyable energy to everything you are a part of and that will surely be missed. Best of luck on finding your Main Thing, I know I'll definitely be rooting for you and following your journey however I can. Thank you for everything from the EZA Podcast, Pokemon streams with Jones, your openness about mental health, stress, and anxiety, and of course Box Peek! Love & Respect always! -Luke (babyskywalker5)

Kyle been a Patreon since the beginning and a fan since GT of you all. Much Love and Respect and good luck in all your future endeavors!!!!!

Have been a viewer since your days at GT. Hard to see you go, but I know whatever path you take next, you’ll go far. Thank you for the countless hours exclusive content. If you ever find yourself in Nashville lmk, you deserve a drink on me.

Kyle, I’ve been following your work ever since that first Playstation Meeting Dos and Don’ts back at GameTrailers. I can’t even begin to count how many times you’ve made me laugh and brightened my day over the years. I’m in college right now studying computer engineering, about to graduate in a couple months. Frankly, it’s been hard. But your content within Easy Allies has never failed to put a smile on my face and to help me push through. The EZA podcast has been one of the highlights of my week, every week; your streams are fun, laid back, and always worth a look; your performances on Fiasconauts constantly have me cracking up; and Box Peek is really freakin’ cool. Whatever you do next, I just hope you know that your work has the power to truly bring joy to people, and to affect their lives for the better, as it has mine. Thanks so much for everything, and I wish you good luck, good health, and lots of happiness in your future.

I wish you nothing but the absolute very best. And I will miss you very, very much. Much love and respect.

Cliff Boyd

Devastated to hear this news, but I truly wish the best for you Kyle. EZA won't be the same without you. Thank you so much for all you've done in making my days better over the years, be it podcasts or videos or whatever else.. Best of luck moving forward Kyle, tomorrow is forever all yours! - Alex (The guy who kept turning into a gargoyle during your Dark Souls III stream)

Having been there to watch your whole public facing contribution with GT and EZA, it's going to be hard to see you go. But I also totally understand your position because I've been there before in my life. I wish you the best of luck when you find your Main Thing. Some sincere L&R to you. Thank you, it's been a pleasure to enjoy your shows and see your growth as a creator through the years.

Truly devastating. I'm feeling just as sad as when GT got cancelled. Your weekly stream is so unique and we have such a fun community of dedicated weirdos that I hadn't even imagined could suddenly disappear. Wish you all the best in your whatever your future may be.

I just wanted to let you know, you are my favorite ally. EZA won't be the same without you. Best wishes for your future and please come say hi sometimes.

I will miss the dark Prince of need Media. Where ever you go, may Mr mime find you.

Love ya

Kyle, my wife and I have been huge fans of yours since early final Bosman days, and I gotta say, it was bittersweet to hear this news. We have been 20$ patrons since the beginning, and I know EZA wouldn’t be close to what it is today without your creative and comedic influence. While it sucks to see you go, Ive always felt like video games were not your main passion and that you had too much talent and creative energy to stay in one place for so long. Box peek was such an incredibly unique and technically impressive show that seemed to just scratch the surface of your potential. I hope you continue down a similar creative path in the future. Honestly it feels like a friend is moving away - you’ve been a staple in our lives for a whole console generation! I am bummed out but excited for what the future holds for you. Thank you for all the laughs over the years. Congratulations on taking this huge step, Kyle. Wishing you the best of luck!

Hey there, Kyle. I think you're great, loved your content since GT. I just want you to be happy and wish you all the best in pursuit of that satisfaction. Take care and safe travels!

Adio Sebastian

Kyle, thank you. This is the first time I've commented, but I felt compelled to in order to express my thanks. I've been a fan of your work since The Playstation Meeting Dos and Don'ts. It was through your videos that I was introduced to the other allies. Your content was a treat in good times, and a buoy in harder times. Endings are hard. This was hard news to hear; much like when GT was shut down. Such news takes the wind out of your sails, and can feel like losing contact with a friend. Then Easy Allies was formed. Sure, a lot of the shows we liked from GT were gone, some reformed, but we also got a lot of new content. The Final Bosman may have been gone, but Box Peek was born. Endings may be hard, but they can also lead to growth and positive change. I'm sad to see you leave the Easy Allies, but I am very excited to see where you go next. Thank you Kyle. Love & Respect.

I understand wholeheartedly, basically the same age as Kyle and one of the reasons I had to stop being a patron for a while was to move and get my life together. L&R Mr Bosman, I hope you find what you are looking for.

Bobby May Cry

I don't think many other things in the past years as your streams at gt and presence at EZA has genuinely made me burst out laughing and feel part of a great community. I wish you all the best in future endeavors.

Alexander Mcloughlin

I just learned about this now. I'm so sad, but I'm also happy that you're trying to find yourself. It's bittersweet, but right now, primarily bitterness comes through... the sweetness? that's later. But we've gotta cradle the flickering light of that sweetness to make it grow. I wish you the best of luck, and I'll keep a close eye on your coming career and try to show support where I can. Love and respect -Elaine

Kitsunelaine

Hope you find your purpose man.

I hope you're doing well today

This is such bittersweet news. Im so sad to see you leave but ecstatic for you to enter the next chapter in your life Kyle.

Best of luck Kyle! Hope you find what you're looking for.

I had to rewatch this and for those that have never seen it, it's a great fan tribute to Kyle https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=93&v=0FRijMzcvIQ&feature=emb_logo

Kyle, it takes a lot of courage to make a big life move like this. I really understand where you're coming from with that french fry analogy. I'm happy for you. I'm also sad though, albeit for selfish reasons. Your style and humor just always clicked for me. Every week I look forward to the podcast and whatever weird game you're playing that week. Yet life goes on. I just want to let you know that thanks to you talking about the depression you face actually helped me go and face mine. I wish you the best of luck on your search for your main thing and thanks for everything. Love and Respect.

I've had a feeling for a while that someone was going to leave. I didn't think it would be you. lol. I've been a fan for a while and I will remain a fan. Take care.

Daryl Rodriguez

Thank you for everything, Kyle. Good Luck with your future endeavors. You will be missed. Love and Respect

Entry #739... I don't really interact with "the community", but wishing you all the best Kyle! Thanks for all the laughs fellow human being.

PanaMuse

Much love to all the allies and Kyle -- I hope you find what you're looking for. See ya space cowboy.

Hey Kyle, I don't usually post anywhere within the EZA community but I felt I needed to thank you for everything you've created and helped create these past 5 years. From the later GT days with Man Up's to streaming Full Playthroughs with Huber, your content and bits have helped me get through alot of honestly terrible times in my life. It's weird to say but I feel I am losing a dear friend, but I am proud of the decision you have made and all of your accomplishments these past 4 years. I wish you luck in finding your Main Thing and wish you a wonderful life. L&R Ed

Love you Kyle, been watching the streams since the GT a days and been here since day 1. I’ll miss you dearly, you’re my fave dude in gaming, I wish you all the best. Love and respect.

Storm_red1

I became a big EZA fan towards the end of 2017 though, specifically because The Easy Allies Podcast and Fiasconauts made my hour long commutes to Seattle so much more tolerable. And even after I quit my job in Seattle, I continued to tune in every week. Kyle, you are the reason I subscribed to EZA on YouTube, and eventually became a patron. I'm extremely sad to see you leave EZA, but at the same time I look forward to seeing whatever your next Main Thing is, because I have no doubts it'll be something amazing. Just like Box Peek. And the EZA Podcast. And The Final Bosman. Fortunately you have a great group of eight friends that I've grown to enjoy over the years, and I'll still be sticking around as a EZA fan even after you leave. Love & Respect ♥

You will be missed Kyle! Good luck with whatever happens next! I really enjoyed your content, you made me smirk.

Lukas Krepel

I wish you all the luck Kyle. I will miss you so much !!

While I am sad to see you go Kyle, I really wish you all the best wherever it is that you land! I became a fan of GT far too late after E3 2015, and I just wanted to say that you were one of the main reasons for that. It will be sad to have the podcast and betting specials go on without you and generally your energy around (and sometimes against, lol) the other allies, but it would be far worse if you felt tied down here. Your presence here will be missed, but I'll be a fan of yours wherever you end up! Love & Respect!

Damn man we’re all definitely gonna miss you. Best wishes to you on your journey. You have assisted all of us along our own journeys and have brought much joy to our lives. Hopefully one day we can all repay you the favor. Cheers brother!

Hey Kyle, it sucks that you're leaving, because when I just need to zone out or having a bad day (like today) I'm usually looking for EZA content, and especially yours. The way you see things, the perspective you have is something I really admire, as I really feel like you're being yourself and that is someone very special. I've always been impressed by your creativity, and I am sure that is something you want to play around with more. Anyway here I am crying because you're leaving, which is kinda crazy, but I wish you the best man, you deserve it! Thanks for everything! Love and Respect!

Christoffer Sjöström

After the start of phase 4, I was discontented. After the announcement of EZX I thought to myself that the Allies were losing it. When they cancelled EZX I thought it was a sign, but now with Kyle leaving, EZA are past a tipping point for me. Kyle's interaction with Allies like Jones, Damiani and Huber were the reason why I kept on coming back to Easy Allies. I hope Kyle will find what he's looking for, but, for me, I doubt the Allies can recover from this.

Lieven Hanssen

Thank you for all of the french fries you've supplied me with over the years. Best wishes.

Zach Quest Maikranz

Kyle, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but just wanted to wish you the best of luck in your new endeavours and that I’ll miss you a bunch in Easy Allies <3 I don’t normally comment on things but felt I had to this time... thank you for everything <3 you were always the one that made me laugh the hardest ^-^

Will really miss you Kyle! But I support you and am excited for you and also the future of EZA. Much love and respect!

Hi Kyle. Boy, I hope you see this. You don't know who I am, but you have effected my life in a profound way. When you first did your PlayStation Dos and Donts I was one of the guys saying how cool you seemed and how we'd like more of you. The truth is that particular period was a dark time for games media. Everything had become overly corporatised and had gotten away from what I felt was good about video games. You were the one voice of representation in a sea of dudebros. To be sincere, I'm incredibly sad to see you go. You are still really the only person out there who I feel really captures that special thing and puts into words. But I understand that you need to live this mortal life to the fullest. As do we all. I hope one day I get to meet you in the crossroads of life. I wish you happiness and a loving family for the future Kyle. Love and Respect was always a bit wierd and culty, but really it's all I hope for you going forward. Peace out dude.

Green Graciano

You're the reason I got interested in Game Trailers and EZA, it's not going to be the same without you. Thank you for everything you've done the past few years, thank you for all the laughs and joy. I wish you the best, Kyle!

Bit gutted to hear you're leaving kyle. All the best for the future. I loved all your streams with Huber. Especially the resident evil and evil within streams. Rewatched those many times over. Thanks for the laughs. L&R

Chris Vickers

Oh man this is very sad news. I wish you all the best, in whatever you are doing next. I hope you`ll succeed in finding what ever you`re looking for.

Thanks Kyle !! L&R

Love & Respect! All hail The Dark Prince of Nerd Media!

In my opinion it is the greatest Allie that is leaving. So sad to hear that we will not get you terrific content anymore. Hope you find what you want to do in the future and best of luck to you in what ever you take on. Hope that you can do guest appearance or get the inspiration to come back. I am sure everyone will want you back!

Kyle, I've been a fan of your work since the PlayStation 4 Do's & Don'ts. You have given me hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of weird and odd-ball entertainment and for that I am incredibly grateful. I'm sad to see you part ways with the allies, but I wish you nothing but the best in whatever ends up being your life's Main Thing. Achieve your dreams!

I hope they don't feel pushed by SJW correctness to include a girl just for the sake of having a girl. I hope they include the very best person they could get, male or female. It's really sad, I will miss your jokes ans bits, you will certainly will be missed.

Andres Robles

I am torn Kyle... On the one hand, I had quite literally always worried about this from the beginning of EZA. With you it kind of felt like we had trapped a star in a light bulb and while I think you did shine brightly and bring so much to the Allies- I am certain that this is the right move because of that feeling. Watching you deal with your depression, watching you expand your craft and become more comfortable in your own skin, had been an absolute joy and the transparency with which you've done it has not only been extremely brave but has likely endeared you to all of us in a way that I feel like few of the Allies have. This is a sad, sad post indeed Kyle, but also I am ready to see you sooner outside of your bulb or at the very least have the chance to. I'll miss you in the way you miss a friend whose life you're worried about, hopeful for, praying they conquer the world... And hopefully that just makes your next main thing all the more special when it pops up and knocks all of our socks off. - much love, and certainly respect!

Rhodesiensensical

please just let him live

Hey Kyle. You inspired me to start my own channel and my own podcast. You've been weird, silly and, yet, amazing! My last request is... How about one FINAL "Final Bosman"? 😁 😁

D-Up Gaming

Thanks for the late-night streams, Kyle. As a freelance artist, you made those late nights very easy to get through! Best of luck!

Wow, I'm stunned! Did not see this coming. I'm so sad that you're leaving! Nonetheless, best of luck with whatever dream you're pursuing! L&R

Henk Groenendijk

I’ve never commented before but followed you guys since GT and day one on Easy Allies. This is super sad news. I was looking forward to all your hit takes as next gen inches closer. Good luck Kyle. Hope you find your Main Thing and I’d happily support you whatever it is.

Sandeep Rai

Thanks for all the good times Kyle :) I wish you all the best!

I think I never commented here before, but I've been following EZA since the beginning and you guys in general since the GT days, and yes, this indeed saddens me. Like others posted before, in some hard, hard times in the last four years EZA always has been a somehow silly, but effective anchor for me. And, to stress this, the group will remain that for me, but Kyle, you will be missed. And like all the other allies, you've more then once really inspired me to do things I did, sparked creativity and joy. I hope that wherever life takes you next, people will know what a great treasure they got in you. All the best to you, and the other allies without you. Lots and lots of love and respect!

I liked the post out of respect for you, I don't like that you are leaving. This saddens me. I wish you the best, Kyle Bosman. With all of my heart, Love and Respect.

Volker Bach

I'm not gonna lie, this hit me like a truck. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that a good chunk of EZ content will change noticeably for a lot of us. At the same time it's good that you want to follow something else, something that you feel it's there even if you don't know what it is. I hope you find it from my heart. Love and respect.

Holy shit. Did not see that coming, but somehow I’m not surprised either. After Box Peek, I always wondered if Easy Allies still was a place where Kyle could reach his full potential.

Bram

Matt Bollenbach

I wish you all the best Kyle. I hope you find your Main Thing. Thank you for all you have done over the last couple of years. I'm going to miss your voice/segments/opinions during my commute on Mondays. A tear was shed. L&R

I hope we'll find out what that Main Thing is when you do...

Star Tsurugi

Thank you for everything Kyle, you will be truly missed. You’ve gotten a lot of us through some rough times with you humor and personality. Hope you find your Main Thing, don’t be bummed if you don’t find it right away, be patient. And don’t forget, it’s always Tootsie Time!

Javi

I am both saddened but excited by this news. Saddened because we’ll lose all your funny bits like ‘corporate shake ups’, ‘Or Wars’ and your hilarious takes/commentary but also excited to see what happens now. I wish you nothing but exciting challenges, exponential growth and happiness in your next venture. You have our unwavering support through it all Love and respect, My Latin Lover

My Latin Lover

That was unexpected. Been watching your stuff since the good ol' days on GT and you and Brandon have always been what defined GT and EZA for me. Nonetheless, I wish you the best for your future endeavors, whatever they might be. Hope to see you produce some great stuff in the future, if that's what you end up doing. Love and respect.

The ending to Box Peek makes sense now. Best of luck Kyle. I will definitely miss the Dark Prince of Nerd Media. Thank you for everything.

Shubham Goyal

I totally get your motivation, Kyle and wish you the very best moving forward. It has been a pleasure to watch you over the last four years and all being well I will enjoy your last contributions to Easy Allies over the coming weeks.

Thomas Cooper

Tomorrow is forever all ours, Kyle. Thanks for everything and best of luck! Love and respect.

Well Kyle.... From Final Bosman to the Apartment streams to Tetris to Box peek and a million other games in the middle. You always felt like that friend. Like a long term pen pal or a friend who I grew up with but moved far far away. 😄 Never realized how much it meant to be able to just jump on a stream and hang out. Thanks for all the personal time and effort you put into GT and EZA. Don’t be a stranger. Cheers brother.

Impact93 (Jon)

I dont normally comment but if you see this Kyle. Thank you so much for everything you've done with the easy allies and Gametrailers. I remember watching the first episode of the final bossman and being like, who is this guy? Hes hilarious! And ever since I've always looked forward to seeing what youd do for videos. Your work is amazing and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Kyle, So, I’ve been mulling this one over a day. And, how do I break it to you…. This isn’t bad news! Now, okay, that leaves the door WIDE open to be taken the wrong way, so like. Pump the breaks. To put this in perspective. Bad news is finding out the person you share a desk, phone, keyboard, and mouse with, is being tested for Covid. Bad news is finding that out while spending time with a family member who is immunocompromised. Okay that’s some BAD NEWS. That happened like two hours after I read your announcement. So hearing that after four years with easy allies and many more before it at GT you need to pursue other interests? That’s not bad news. Might be surprising news, but bad news? No. I’m excited for what this will allow you to create Kyle. And if you do choose to do public streaming, or publish a creative work, and if I can find you, I’ll absolutely settle in and join with you. And if you take a desk job and just have a comfortable life? Amen to THAT. So, enjoy stuffing your face full of French fries this last month. I’ll have to find the best local French fries to stuff down my face while watching your last stream with EZA. With the love of a stranger who'll never meet you but is entertained by the videos you make. ~Kiraz

Kiraz

I understand, Kyle... but that doesn't make me any less sad. It really won't be the same without you. When you are able to tell us what you're doing, would you be willing to let us know? I understand if this is a weird request... but even though you don't know me or other fans, I (and I assume others) care about you, what you are doing and how things are going in general. I understand that you don't have any obligation to share with us.... but I'll still want to know how you are doing. Best regards, L&R.... PS. going to miss your brand of humor.

Mitchell Collier

I've been a GT Fan for years and proud Easy Allies patreon from day 1. Like alot people here, I've not really participated in the community that much but I also do wanna say that I am legit sad about Kyle leaving. At first, I felt kinda silly, mourning a random internet person leaving a group of random internet people. But you know what, Kyle, you and GT/EZA has been a part of my life for a solid decade and I will miss you dearly. But I am also grateful that we even got to this point. I will never forget how devastated I felt when GT got shut down and I will never forget how excited I was when I first saw the EZA teaser on twitter. Thanks for everything, Kyle. Thanks for being such a thoughtful and deliberate person on the internet. Thanks for never stirring up drama, never insulting anybody, never screwing up, never making me feel bad about being a fan. I am sure it must have been tough being thrust into the public eye like that but you have absolutely handled it masterfully and I am super excited to find out what's next in store for you.

Deniz Schreiber

Kyle, thank you for everything. I will miss you so much. I fell in love with EZA because of you; because of your streams, your bits on the podcast, Box Peek, betting specials, everything you did. Love and respect.

Travis Gajkowski

I watched GameTrailers content for years, watched The Final Bosman since the first episode, and I've watched every Easy Allies Podcast and many of the other videos Kyle's been in. This might be the first time I've commented, it's not usually my thing. Kyle, thank you for the literal years of entertainment you've provided. I've never watched an EZA live stream (also not my thing), but I loved Box Peek. When e3 time rolls around, I'm excited for the announcements, but I'm always more excited for the betting special. You've always made me laugh in your other appearances (Kill your babies, tabletop, fiasconauts, etc). EZA got me through one of the darkest times in my life, and you were a big part of that. That's such a weird thing for me to say considering I've never met you, but it's true. So thank you again. I know you'll find your Main Thing and it'll be great. Best of luck. Love and Respect.

I've never really commented or emailed or anything but I've been watching since the GT days, since before the first episode of the final bosman so even though I wouldn't say I'm "part of the community" I still feel like I've been here through it all. Not gonna lie, I shed more tears than I thought I would over this, I guess I always knew that one of the Allies would leave or something like this would have to happen at some point but still so bloody sad to see you go :( all the best with whatever it is you decide to do, I'll still be here to support the Allies as well as wherever you end up to support you :) love and respect from Nick

This is very hard to digest but I understand where you are at. Chances are you'll never read this but I just want to say your creativity is something that has inspired me for many many years all the way back to Gametrailers. I will follow you and Easy Allies both and I wish you all the best in the future. Just know you are part of many people's life all around the world and that you will be missed.

Philippe Tremblay

I’ve read this post five times now and I totally get it. It still feels very sad to read and hear. I hope you find what you are looking for. All the best, Sonny

Sonny Laguna

I came here looking for the new podcast and was greeted by this instead. What a blow. Nonetheless, I wish you all the best and want to thank you for all the laughs you've provided to me over the past few years.

Man it sucks to see you go but I’m glad your moving toward something that will make you content. Truth be told I found you, Kyle Bosman to be one of the allies I related to the most and can understand your need to move onto something else. We will probably never meet but if it’s anything I appreciate who you are and what you’ve done over the past 7 years that I’ve been tuned into Game Trailers and Easy Allies. All the best amigo

Jovan Sreckovic

I rarely comment, but I feel like I should show my gratitude for all you've done at Easy Allies. I love you, Kyle. You inspire me everyday to do the things I love and try my best. Take care and I hope you achieve your dreams. Love & Respect

I normally don't like to comment on the Internet, but I wanted to to thank Kyle for all the fun I had with his content over the years, first at Gametrailers and in the last 4 years (has it been this long already, wow). You, Kyle and Huber were the main reasons I supported you when you started Easy Allies. However, I was not surprised to see you leave, because I always felt, there was some longing on your side to do something else. Over the years all the guys grew close to me and I will still support here, and I will support Kyle if he wants to start something on his own. Thanks for all the good times and see you in the future, I hope!

Kyle, I am very grateful for the amount that you and the rest of the team have improved my life over the last few years. Watching EZA content has been a highlight of my week since EZA's inception. I wish you the best in your new endeavor and wanted to chime in with everyone else letting you know that you will be missed. L&R

Thanx For The Memories. Bye Kyle.

McHooliganXXL

Kyle, I can't imagine how difficult a decision like this was for you to make. I just want you to know that you've brightened so, so many of my days with your sense of humor, creativity, and hard work over the past several years. I sincerely wish you all the best in the world on your new quest, and I will miss you so much. Thank you for everything! Wherever you go, I know those you meet and work with will have their days brightened too.

Damn, I wasn't prepared for something like this to happen. I still miss Elyse and even tho she still has shows I could be watching I rarely do and I think what I miss the most is her camaraderie with the other Allies. It really makes me sad to think I won't get to listen to or watch Kyle interacting with the other Allies anymore, even if he does end up doing something interesting that I can tune into. At the same time, I really respect the decision, if you aren't feeling fulfilled doing what you're doing then by all means. It takes a lot of balls to drop something somewhat stable and at least from the outside looking in looks to be a lot of fun, follow your gut/heart and pursue a change. When the Final Bosman first came out your takes on the industry were so unique, I finally had a voice in the industry saying things I was feeling and thinking but you presented and spun them in a way that was so uniquely you, it was truly such a special show. I really think that was the crescendo, the tipping point of Gametrailers becoming more about the people and personalities working there and less about the games. Something that really became the foundation of EZA and what made so many people attached to you guys. Your unique insights, sense of humor and just who you are man! are not something that can be replaced and I'm going to be incredibly sad to see you go but I sincerely wish you the best from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to speak for anyone else but I want you to know that your work and just who you are as a person, the parts of yourself you share with your fans at least have been greatly appreciated. If only you could truly see the number of people you make laugh and the lives you enhance on a weekly basis, words can never do it justice. That being said I don't want to make this harder for you, I'm sure it was an incredibly tough decision and you have your reasons. I hope you find what you are looking for and look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future. I'm pretty confident I'll enjoy whatever it is that you decide you want to do. I somewhat rarely use the ole L&R chestnut on comments myself but like you said there has never been a more fitting time. Thank you so much for everything you've done! Both at GT and EZA! L&R, sincerely Brendan Cass, Thwap23, 32

Thwap23

Man, I will really miss you! I had to take some time to process this news. All in all, I feel you man. You and I are about the same age, so I'm not surprised that you are reevaluating your life right now. It's what you do at this stage in life. So, if you truly feel like EZA is not your Main Thing and that you can achieve so much more elsewhere, totally go for it! I truly believe you can. You're a talented and creative guy, which is why I'm certain it will all work out in the end. Thank you for everything!

SpectR0nn

I never comment on anything but i just felt a need to say thank you for the last 7 years or so, you are one smart, talented, funny dude kyle! i will absolutely miss you being part of my daily life. I wish you the best, man.

For some reason i felt this coming. But respect Kyle ! You where (are) my fav. Allie; mostly because you do stuff like this; in my eyes; you are the person who does his own thing; no matter what; the most of all online people i "know". You are a gem ! Stay you ! I will try and follow whatever it is you will be doing; and i'm sure it will be amazing ! Love you !

Randy Verschueren

Nooooooooooooooo! :( For real though: Do what you think is best for you! We will miss you!

Kyle, thank you for everything. It's not enough to say you will be missed. From my perspective, you're a stand up guy that keeps yourself and those around you accountable. I wonder if the rest of the Allies really appreciate how important that is. It's a shame that it has come to this. Thank you for everything you have given us. Sincerely. I'm one of those you have helped. You're not alone, and I look forward to hearing what you're up to next! Take some time, but please do resurface!

From his announcement seems that he reached an age and feels like he didn't accomplished much, which is so wrong. He managed to give joy to a lot of people, his moderator skills are professional and on point( to be honest i didn't feel Brandon as a moderator), but i guess he feels like time is running out and he didn't do much with his life or something. I'm sure he realises what a great opportunity Easy Allies was and i'm kinda bumped out that this was not enough for him; i hope he finds what he is looking for( fulfillment in work, family.....)

Damn. I'm going to miss you so so much. I hope you'll find what you're looking for.

w1ndch1ld

I'll miss you and your work for EZA Kyle, but I wish you the best of luck for the future, and whatever you decide to do! Kind regards from Australia!

You’ll be missed! I hope you will find your main thing. I’ll miss you being part of Easy Allies, but want to thank you for your years at GT and EZA. It was always a joy to watch and listen to you and even though we’ve never met, you’ve had an incredible positive influence on my life just by doing what you do. Thanks and all the best!

Robbert Roodzand

Its a bit

Chris Brabbs

I agree. Kyle is ( was ) a big part of Easy Allies. He felt to me like one of the " founding fathers" and one of the last to leave. But maybe the routine, the feeling of being just some gamer guy who "just" plays video games for a living is not fulfilling enough. But he is more then that and maybe he doesn't realize how important his contribution is for Easy Allies.

I'm really happy for you, Kyle! You're an extremely talented guy and I think you're making the right decision exploring the potential you absolutely have. I thought The Final Bosman was really a special show and I think following something with proper scripts and production would be great for you. Whether it be something we can join along for the ride or something you go off to on your own, I wish you the best.

Oliver Johnson

I hope you find your main thing Kyle!

To be fair though, I'm fairly certain that most of the allies don't make their entire living off of EZA salary. I know that it's been said on multiple occasions that most if not all allies have a second job. I do think it's really sad to see Kyle go, but I also understand his decision. All the love and respect to you Kyle, we will miss you.

Mattias Bäcklin

I am extremely saddened to learn about Kyle's departure from EZA, while I wish him the best of luck in searching the right path to pursue, I cannot help but think things will be significantly worse from now on. Kyle was the Ally I reasonated with the most, who shared more videogame interests with me out of the 9 and who is the best Podcast Host I'm aware of. I sincerely hope the other Allies manage to find someone as charismatic and polite as him, but it'll be an insanely hard task.

Luca Alberti

This is so weird. Me and my brother are always talking about how awesome it is to make a living playing video games, making your own schedule, being your own boss. To give that away, we thought, would never happen, but if it did, Brad Ellis would be the last one to jump off the Easy Allies boat. I guess i found out who is the first to do that. To be honest, i will miss Kyle but i still don't understand why would he give that up. Living in L.A., the capitol of entertainment, making a living( a good one i assume ), traveling to gaming conventions, seems so awesome. But maybe i'm romanticising that life; he clearly doesn't feel accomplished or complete and what seems to a lot of people, including myself, like a great life, obviously it's not enough for Kyle. Wish him all the best and maybe we will find out what pushed him to this decision, if he decides to go a bit deeper in his motivation to leave.

Good luck Bosman. I honestly subscribed to GT because of you which means I became an EZA patron day 1 because of you. I totally understand everything can't last forever but I also can't deny EZA is not the same without you. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and greatly appreciate all the awesome work you have done. Cheers, -ThunderRazor (Keenan)

ThunderRazor

fuck

You are doing the right thing

David Schluckebier

The end of an era. Devastating

Snorezor

I hate to be pessimistic but it sounds like you're leaving with no plan whatsoever... Which really doesn't fly in the working industry today. Of course I'm upset about the whole thing. Can we just pretend like we'll see you back in a year or so?

Hedgey

Lots of love and a shit ton of respect. Keep us posted and safe travels.

Alfredo MR

Thank you Kyle, between your streams and the EZA podcast you made getting through the week a lot easier. Going to miss you, but I wish you luck in whatever comes next.

Kyle, I've enjoyed your content since the first Final Bosman. You elevated everything you touched at both GT and Easy A. I wish you well in this great journey called life and hope you find your Main Thing.

God bless you in your journey Kyle. You changed my life. You enriched my children's lives (They still talk about box peek to this day). I really appreciated your insistence on professionalism on camera at all times and I developed a trust in you that you'll never know. We all loved your sick raps too. Hey Kylie, just wanted to say "Don't worry, this one is okay". We're going, to for sure cry, but know this: we are on your side.

Kyle, I found u guys because of the famous FFVIIR 2015 E3 reaction. Afterwards I started watching/listening to all the GT Time podcasts and Final Bosmans. I was between jobs and it was the first time I’d been unemployed, but you and the other allies helped to ease the crazy stress of looking for a new job while $$ was disappearing into rent. Thanks for the great times and good luck dude!!

Owa

I just want to say thank you Kyle. Thank you for existing and for making my life a lot easier to handle, Thank you for the bits, for the podcasts, for the final bosman, for box peek, for everything, I just wanted to see you one time, my one regret is not seeing you earlier and now thinking I never will. I owe you so much of my happiness in the moments of sadness to you. I just felt like you knew me, like you were someone I could look upon, admire and most of all feel grateful for knowing. Ive come to know some of the best TV series, games and movies because of you. Bought Mario Odyssey because of you, watched Barry because of you, played Tropical Freeze because of you, I owe you so much and I cant believe I missed the chance to say thank you to your face. I really feel that you are a unique human being and I hope you find the thing you are looking for, I wish you only the best. Love and Respect Kyle, dream on.

Appreciate you!

Landon Lacayo

Well, at least Jones will stop getting questions on the cup about how to make you do the final bosmam again... This hurts, Kyle. You know it hurts... but I wish you well.

César Villa

Kyle is one of the quirkiest and amusing guys I've ever seen anywhere. There's no way to properly explain the magnitude of his contributions to GameTrailers and Easy Allies, he is simply a legend and a fantastic personality anywhere he treads. Losing Kyle from Easy Allies will be like losing an organ. These 642 comments have probably echoed all the sentiments I feel very strongly about. I think there should be a huge stream dedicated to celebrate Kyle and his contributions to EZA as a fitting send off to this one of a kind human being.

James Davie

Who the hell can i talk to about this

Youngster Skaymore

Love to Kyle and the gang. 💙

Otawong

Thank you for everything Kyle. I hope you realise you are taking thousands of well wishes with you on your next venture.

I wish you to be happy on whatever you do next, the years we have you have been awesome

Huber's hype got me to check out GT, but you made me stay. I'm SO looking forward to seeing if you can find your thing, Kyle. You can do it!

Pira

wow, this hit me alot harder then i thought it would. Do what you got to do Kyle and please know you inspire me alot, you make want to be better. I love you and wish you the best.

Man, this is a punch in the gut, you're my favourite ally. Just know that we'll be there to support you in whatever your next endeavours entail. I hope you find what you're looking for. L&R <3

Thanks for all the great moments during your Gametrailers and Easy Allies tenures, Kyle. I think Box Peek in particular showed that your talents and interests were growing in ways that maybe wouldn't best flourish as part of the Easy Allies. I don't imagine this decision was easy for you, so I want to wish you the best of luck. As you said, you'll still be streaming. Here's hoping you do occasionally make it back to Los Angeles occasionally to renew Easy Allies ties in person. It is always a treat when Elyse shows up in EA content, so I hope we might have similar Kyle guest cameos or guest spots in store some day. You'll always have the distinction of being the first Ally Emeritus :D

Nicholas Bobbie

Love you, Kyle. I hope you find what you're looking for < 3

Tim, King of the Monsters

I'm super disappointed, I'm not going to lie. You are one of the main reasons I watch EA's. You will be incredible missed and it's a huge bummer.

Kelsey Maitland

Know Kyle, know peace. No Kyle, no peace

Henry Ramirez

This episode of Black Mirror suuuucks!

Wish you all the luck in the world Kyle!

Wow! That's insane! Wish you the best Kyle.

Hey Kyle, Just wanted to say thanks for everything. I can't wait till you're inevitably managing your own creative team on something equally as amazing as Box Peek. Keep on keeping on Danger Baby -Quaznarg

Quaznarg

This is my first post here on Patreon, and I mostly lurk in chat and comments, but I felt that I should write something here. Kyle, been watching your and the Allies content since the GT days and can't believe it's already been 7 years. I truly think that you have something special and it's great to see that you are willing to find your Main Thing in life. Although it might terrifying I'm sure that you'll be able to succeed. And know that you have people that support you from all around the world, even from Mongolia. L&R Dulguun

Let me first say that I totally respect what you are doing in taking control of your life. Go for it Kyle, I wish you the best of luck. It takes a lot of gusto to leave something cushy like eza to chase your dreams. Good on you. Now, for my personal, selfish reaction: Oh my God. I am left mouth completely agape. No one person that I’ve never met has affected my life more than Kyle Bosman in the past many years. He has become such an important part of my life that I am genuinely worried about my life going forward, I know it’s probably going to be much worse. I’m sure that’s super unhealthy, but it’s just flat out true. Damn. This one hurts

Youngster Skaymore

Kyle, I 100% sympathize with your french fry metaphor. I'm in the midst of it myself, and I respect your leap of faith into the unknown. I wish the best for you, and I hope it pushes and challenges you

Kyle, you got that big street cred and a big fat brain. I'm sure whatever you do you'll kill it. Real big love, real big respect my dude.

Danielle Charles

Thank you so much for all the entertainment and hard work you have put into this company. I can’t even begin to explain how much of an influence you’ve had on me. I absolutely loved seeing the passion that you put into all of your creative works and because of that you have become a huge inspiration for me to keep pursuing what I love to do. I only see great things in your future my friend and totally wish you all the best! I have full confidence EZA will continue on strong and I will continue with my full support. While it may be different without Kyle, I still don’t know where I’d be without the other fellow allies. Still the best in the biz! Love and respect!

Safety post.

TurboChickenMan

You were blunt, and I'll be blunt. You are the glue of Easy Allies. None of the others have your level of professionalism or creativity. That's certainly not to say they aren't professional or creative, but in more specific ways. You, on the other hand, slick up the entire operation. You add new spins to shows when you think they're getting stale, you create new shows, and you retire old ones when you feel they've run their course. You add wit, you question things, you question YOURSELF (I once called you "the first to admit when he's doing something dumb and/or cheap"), and you go the extra mile to add a real showbiz vibe. You give Easy Allies a sense of STATUS. It's absolutely no wonder you're part of Geoff Keighley's team, perhaps the glitziest operation in games media. When Easy Allies was founded and you said you weren't continuing The Final Bosman, I always figured that it would be available as an "ace in the hole", something that could bring life back to the company if they began to fail. Now, if the others don't really step up their game, I can see a cliff off in the distance. If that happens, there's no doubt they'll all land on their feet. But the whole reason Easy Allies was able to exist was because the group of people at GameTrailers had the kind of incredible cohesiveness that could only happen by chance and could NEVER be created at will. The word "special" is overused, but this is one place where it should ABSOLUTELY be used. I won't lie - yes, I'm trying to shame you a bit. Maybe more than a bit. That is just how I feel when it appears something legitimately special is being dismissed as a mere stepping stone, just another gig, something unsatisfying. Please, please correct me if there's no truth in what I've said. I know that there is virtually nothing that could make you change your mind. And knowing this, I'll be cancelling my Patreon pledge after April. It isn't a protest. I was already watching a fair bit less content, and more slowly, than in the early years. Tabletop Escapades and Game Sleuth, two things out of your control, going away were big prior hits to my enthusiasm. I always could only just barely afford it as well (this is the truth). I could repledge in the future if Easy Allies does new, bold things, though I honestly feel that's a very big "if". I don't know how big your cut of the company's income was, but maybe that reinvestment could kickstart said new, bold things. In the meantime, I will continue to watch Easy Allies content to some degree. I will cherish your remaining time at Easy Allies, your past time at GameTrailers and Easy Allies, and I hope that whatever you do in the future will make everybody proud of you.

TurboChickenMan

Kyle, you are a talented individual that will be good at anything you do. Thank you for all the fun you brought to EZA and GameTrailers. Good luck!

Gerred Evatt

I don't have words. I'm so, so sad. Will come back later. :(

Felipe Fonseca

first, please let me get this off my chest: FUCK. 2020 FUCKING SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. in my personal life, and in the world at large, everything fucking sucks right now. fuck. ehm. excuse me. thanks for allowing me that space. with that out of the way, i'll say this: kyle, i love you. like, in an over-the-internet, you've-never-met-me, type of love, sure. but love nonetheless. you legit did make me feel better sometimes. the clip of you doing the different OR WARS intros on youtube has literally taken me from thoroughly angry and down in the dumps to hysterical with laughter. and it's not even that funny, if you think about it lol. honestly, it makes little-to-no sense. but that's *why* you're funny to me. you put yourself out there, your jokes are either so stupid they mean nothing or so layered they mean E V E R Y T H I N G and no one has ever made me laugh in that specific way before. thanks man. you picked my chin up when i couldn't do it on my own. long live box peek. long live final bosman. LONG LIVE YOGALLA SATARIUS!

rrice64

I was always the "come for the Easy Allies, but stayed for the Bosman" kind of guy and now that you're leaving it has really thrown me for a loop. To me you were the comfort food I got weekly and helped me through so much but now that you've realised you need some time to grow, I feel like it's that time in my life also to do the same. Thank you so much for your entertainment, laughs and tears after all these years through GT & EZA and I look forward to your next project or whatever you plan to do. I'm looking forward to it. Much Love & Respect Kyle

Thank you for being a source of inspiration, Kyle. I hope you find your main thing, and I hope we get the chance to continue supporting you.

You are always such a joy to watch Kyle! I hope you find peace and fulfillment in whatever you get to next!

Dear Kyle, I just wanted to let you know that I've appreciated your work for the past five years I've been watching your podcasts. It's brought me so much joy in my life and I love all the corny jokes the Dark Prince of Media makes and you and the rest of EZA have truly made me a little more happier as a person. I spend many days by myself in my room working on college assignments and what not, but I always try to make time to listen to EZA. But as someone who is looking to pursuing their main thing, I think you are doing the admirable decision to put what you want to achieve in life first if it matters so much to you. I will continue to support you and keep up with what you are doing as social media allows because I just simply care and I want to see what you will do next. I can't do anything else but wish you for the best. Love and Respect, Lyle Frazier

Zerinus

Not gonna lie, this hurts and I'm so sad to see you go but I truly wish you the best and totally understand your reasoning. Best of luck, Kyle. L&R.

I dont know what to say, I am truly heartbroken. Kyle is such a huge part of EZA, imagining EZA without him...I'm just speechless. I never wanted a day like this to come but I will adjust. I love EZA and everything you guys do, I will continue to support you guys and Kyle...best of luck. You will be missed. I hope you find what you are looking for. Love & Respect

Yiorgos

I think we all trying find that certain something in life, wish best of luck for you. It has been great seeing you in podcast, thanks for all hard work you have done and like said wish best luck for you.

You are truly one of the greats. I will absolutely miss your contributions to the Easy Allies, especially E3, full playthroughs of horror games with Huber, late night streams, Easy Livin', the Easy Update yearly wraps, hanging with Jones (and playing Pokemon). Seriously wish you the best and look forward to seeing where you land! L&R

Matt Shay

My wife doesn't care about video games or internet content creators, but when I just told her "Kyle Bosman is leaving Easy Allies," she knew that meant I needed a hug. Good luck, Kyle. You've been an inspiration over these many years. I know you'll find what you're looking for. Tomorrow is forever all ours, friend.

L&R Kyle, You gotta follow your heart and do what you think is best. Obviously EZA won’t be the same without you, but I can’t wait to see what your new “main thing” turns out being :) Best of luck to you ❤️

William

I'm glad you're doing something you feel is something for the betterment of your life or at least an attempt. I'll miss you more than I probably know at the moment, but I wish you all the best. Just know that if you need to come back we'll welcome you back with open arms. Never be afraid to come back to french fries when you need 'em.

Dale Cooper

I was waiting for the "Welcome to my trick.", but it never came. I wish you only the best, Dark Prince!

Chad Kowalski

Never Posted anything, just wanted to say take care, you will be miss.

David Patry

Started the easy allies journey when Kyle, Brad and Ben started an FF7 journey way back in GT Trailers days. Those streams helped me through some tough times and I am indefinitely grateful for the time spent pulling those together. Extremely thankful for everything since then. All the best Kyle!!

It was The Final Bosman that put the now Allies into my radar. It's sad to see you go, but change is always good. Godspeed, Dark Prince.

Zaths

as someone also searching for their main thing in life, I think I speak for the community when I say we’re both incredibly grateful and proud of you. we know you’ll continue to entertain and do wonderful things that bring joy to those who see them. I hope that this is Kyle’s ultimate Experience. Please be excited (I am!)

RanchoCucamunga

Kyle joining EZA is what gave me confidence to come support you all and watch your content. I wish you all the best of luck but I honestly don't know how much content I'll keep watching now. I will of course try to watch and see, but if the podcast episodes without him are anything to go by, this might be me leaving too. Thanks Kyle and all the Allies for how much better you've made my daily life. Now back to the depression I found myself in when GT imploded.

n00bywarrior

I was waiting on the bit to end and it never did. God speed, good sir. I already miss the crap out of you.

Michael Miller

Well. Where to start? Kyle, it speaks to the testament of you as a person that I've no doubt you'll read this comment. And, the 596 others at the time of this point. All I want to say is thank you - in a twist of fate, I subscribed day 1, the day I moved in to a rental. Today, I moved in to my own forever home, and you make this announcement. So from me and my partner, thank you Kyle. I can only hope you find what you are looking for in the great wide world. Chris and Rachelle

Chaeotic

Kyle, as someone who has cherished you since the Playstation Meeting Dos and Donts, I am not surprised at this announcement. When phase 4 was revealed, my biggest concern was "Where is Kyle in this?" You have a mind that conceived and executed your own mini-series, your own video game, your own legendary editorial show. At what point do you say "I don't want to work alone anymore?" I hope your ambitious spirit finds a place that leaves you blissfully exhausted and satisfied as you look back upon your work in this life. I will miss you dearly. Love and Respect, Matthew Slaven

MrMattatee

Oh wow. This hurts. The only reason I started following you guys was because of The Final Bosman. I wanted more of your content and I found out GT had a show you hosted weekly. I was hooked instantly. I was heartbroken when you stopped with Final Bosman but I understood. Then GT went under and I had no idea what had happened. Thought you guys were just gone. I was still subscribed to your YouTube channel and I remember you posting a video in your apartment and I was so stoked. There I found out you guys have moved to YouTube as Easy Allies. There I found out there was more content with you in it. Haven’t missed an episode yet. To hear this breaks my heart but, I understand. I too am also in that point in life where I want to find my Main Thing, and I know how hard that is. Thank you for all the fun laughs Kyle. I regret not going to the yearly meet ups to finally meet you. Either way I won’t stop listening to the podcast and watching the rest of the boys content. Just hope one day you find yourself and come back happy with yourself because in the end that’s all that really matter. Love & Respect Kyle!

As much as it sucks to see you leave i have mad respect for you trying to achieve your greater potential rather than staying creatively stagnate with the allies. As much as i enjoy the allies stuff it is very samey and i feel like you could accomplish so much more. Where ever you go im sure me and many others will follow you bosman.

When I read the notification title for this I was kind of concerned that something catastrophic had happened to Kyle or one of his loved ones, so I was actually quite happy to see the content of the article. I don't like labeling this "bad news". Good news, man, good news. so... Dear Kyle, EZA launched when I was in one of the lowest points in my life, and their shows were one of the things that really got my head into a better place, and for that I'll always be grateful. Your humor, honesty, and insights were a big part of that. It's probably partially why so many people on here are saying that it feels like they're losing a friend, because in your creative projects and your playthroughs, you were not ashamed to reveal dumb, controversial, or deprecating aspects of yourself. You are open in a way that only friends usually are with each other. That realism and reflectiveness adds so much to your humor and creative output. It also hopefully showed people in the EZA community that their scars that they are afraid to reveal to others might actually be the things that create the strongest bonds. Thanks for everything. If the Main Thing you happen upon is a public thing, than I'll be looking forward to it. If the Main Thing turns out to be something much more private and personal, and have nothing to do with public audiences, in some ways I'd be even happier for you. But in any case, keep progressing every day. L&R, Joel.

Kyle’s presence was definitely a major factor in my becoming a patron 4 years ago on day 1. I love the rest of you guys as well, but his is the personality that really kept me coming back month after month. I’m not dropping my patronage—I consume EZA content constantly—but I want Kyle in particular to know how much joy he brought to the life of a random dude on the opposite side of the country. Thanks for the laughs and the fun, Kyle!

Joe Holaska

best wishes

Lots of bad news this 2020. Dear Lord. I mean, I supported Patron because of you Kyle. I am not dropping my patronage, but dude, I am sad that you're leaving. At the same time, I am happy that you have found the courage to jump onto an unknown adventure. I wish I had the same courage. Good luck! Know that I will support you in whatever it is you are doing next.

LeeLore

I hate this news so much but I wish you the best Kyle.

*Cue Corporate Shake-ups music*

Pedro Lippe

You were the reason I started following EZA in the first place, and I thank you not only for what you've produced over the past few years, but also for introducing me to the rest of the amazing crew. Wish you the best, man.

Pedro Lippe

Wishing you all the best Kyle. Love and Respect. Best of luck to you with your future man.

Doug Kelly

Thank you Kyle for everything you gave us over the past few years. I hope you find what you are looking for and tell us when you find it so we can support you. Love & Respect traenkeopa

traenkeopa

Whaaaaaaa? Well, I wish you all the best, but I can't say that I won't miss what you provide to the EZA experience. I came to EZA because I came across your content, and while I grew to love the rest of these guys and will certainly be sticking around, I hope for some fun new material to come on your part too.

Oni

I found easy allies a few years ago when i was searching for your new content. You'll be sorely missed at easy allies but I'll follow your new content wherever it is.

This is very sad news to me, but I wish you the best, Kyle, your'e trully a genius. And I wish the best for Easy Allies. I'll keep supporting them all.

By a weird coincidence, I made a Highlights of Kyle Bosman video about a week ago. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/banqV5VvL00 Thanks for everything Kyle, and all the best on your next smooth move.

DaleBastion

I'll miss you, Kyle! You are the best and the main reason I contributed as much as I did to EZA. Let us know what you're up to in the future! We want to see you shining, my man!

Good Luck Kyle Bosman!

Kyle, you're a truly unique talent. Just want to make sure you're well aware of that before you leave to do something else. Thanks for everything.

V8 Dave

Wasn’t ready to see this news today. A real bummer. I’ve always seen you all as one big family, so it’s gonna be tough to see one of you go. I’ll never forget the first video I saw was the 2015 E3 betting special. The chemistry that you and Huber share was a perfect match and drew me in to the GT crew and followed into EZA. It’s like you were two long lost brothers. I’ll definitely miss that the most. But I understand you gotta take care of yourself at the end of the day. Youve given us so much. We all love you Kyle and wish you the best. All the love, all the respect.

I'd like to be like the rest of the comments and say I wish you the best, but man, this just feels like a kick in the nuts. My grandma passed away a few weeks ago, coronavirus is spreading across the world, E3 got cancelled, and now Kyle is leaving EZA. I like to think that EZA will somehow be able to manage without you, but you're (in a good sense) it's dark, twisted heart. EZA without Kyle Bosman just isn't really EZA to me. Wish you could have at least stuck around till the beginning of next gen or something. Good luck, dude.

Minamik

I was just thinking the other day about who would be the first to leave and how long this “Original cast” could last. Never thought it would be my favorite ally. :( Really felt your absence those few recent weeks you were away, and not sure if I’ll keep up with the podcast anymore without my dark prince. This made me really sad but I totally understand your reasoning. Truly wish you the best in life and will be following you wherever ever you end up, if you choose to be public again. L&R <3

Robert

Kyle, I've never posted on here before. But I just read through over 500 comments of people expressing their love and appreciation of you and your work, and I have to add one more to the list (tossing one more coin to my witcher). I hope in times of need, you can look back here and remember that you are loved and that when you bring such kindness, curiosity, creativity, and humor to people, they want to give that right back to you. I don't really know you, but like so many others here, I feel as if I do. And in that way, I love you. Thank you so much! I really hope you have a fun and rewarding time continuing to search for what feels right. -Frances

Ahhh mannnnn. I really need you to come back and annoy Ian at least every once in a while. Your unrelenting boisterousness will be sorely missed

Jack Sibert

Thank you so much for everything you've given us all these years, Kyle. You've been an unending source of laughter, confusion, and inspiration. Sometimes all three at once. Find the thing, whatever it is. We'll be rooting for you!

Allan Liebold

Heyoo Kyle from (probably) your only viewer and on and off podcast producer/patron (when I can afford it) from the island of Guam! This will probably be another comment lost in a sea of similar sentiment; and in truth, I am lost for words as to how I should properly say this, but I really just wanted to take the time to say just how much I appreciate what the Allies and you have done. Back in 2015 when I first discovered GT, I had just dropped out of high school and was working at my first real job and was in a pretty bad place mentally. The positivity you guys injected into my life with your content at GT and later Easy Allies really helped me get through some tough weeks. I am absolutely certain that through your positivity and passion for gaming, I was able to discover my own passion for all things gaming as well. I one day hope to start my own channel making content with everything  I've learned from you guys (and you Kyle, in particular). Good luck with whatever you choose to pursue and I'm sure you know that there will always be a community here to support you (Knowing how stubborn you can be, you'd probably only want our support if we genuinely like the quality of the work you create 😅. Heck, maybe you can drop by the Podcast every now and then 😉? ) Oh, and remember tomorrow is forever all... eh. I'll let Kyle finish that one. Jokes aside, thank you, again. For everything. L&R and cheers, from somewhere across the sea.

厄 Unlucky Irish

literally hundreds of comments have said it all. just want to add good luck for the future Kyle.

SwinBob72

Thank you for everything Kyle. Hope you’re ok, and I’m excited to see what your Main Thing ends up being!

Max Miller

Kyle, you're awesome and I hope you succeed in finding your "Main Thing". The podcast and your Friday night streams have helped keep me sane during some rough times in my life. Thank you for all the amazing content these past four years with EZA. Good luck! I'll always be rooting for you! Love & Respect.

Ouch...this hurts.

Brendan Schmidt

Going to miss you Kyle. Best of luck on your future endeavors. You are so talented, funny and a unique treasure. Much love, much respect.

Bro what pls say sike ):

Chris V

Good luck to you in finding the cheeseburger to your french fries, Kyle. You may or may not realize how much you have given this amorphous blob, but I hope that whatever small bit of support and comfort we have been able to give back to you will serve you well in whatever your next adventure is. Thanks for everything - we'll enjoy this last month with you and hope for the best for your future. Love & respect. No mental breakdowns. <3

Ray Aldiar

Godspeed, Kyle. You did good stuff. I am sure you will find success!

petetheduck

This sucks and you will be miss, but you got to do you. Good luck and best wishes. Don't be a stranger.

Joey Din

French fries, huh? Enjoy your midlife crisis, buddy. Hope it pans out. We'll miss you dearly.

Matt McCarthy

i just came to the realization that I've spent over $1k on easy allies and it is/was worth every penny. good luck out there kyle!

It's takes Alot of cojones to leave the routine and do something different. Good luck Bosman we will continue to follow you outside of EZA.

Since there is a million posts I will keep this short. Thank you so much for all of these years of entertainment. I have watched nearly everything you have done since the first episode of The Final Bosman. I love your sense of humor. It feels so unique but the way you present yourself makes everything feel so personable. It is still so rare to find that in this industry. I began streaming Pop'n Music feeling inspired by your Tetris streams, and have loved doing that as long as I have. I will severely miss having you be a part of my life after you go. The joy you have given me over all these years is immeasurable and I am so grateful for all you have done. Sincerely, Thank you. ~William Terrio

Super3dcow

Honestly, this sucks, but I get it. I think everyone wants to look for that Main Thing in their life. Not everyone gets the chance to do so but you do. I wish you nothing but the best for when you set out on your post-Easy Allies journey. It's been a pleasure Kyle.

Thanks for the great memories Kyle, I got back into video games because of you and you got me through some rough times battling depression after my older brother abruptly passed away, I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do and I hope you find what you're looking for.

A Joker Fan

I feel so lucky to have been part of this journey: From the first Final Bosman to all the fun adventures at Easy Allies. It is hard to describe what the last years meant to me. So let me just say thank you!

Wow this is nuts! This must have been a really hard decision to make, Kyle. You will truly be missed. Though this must be a scary time, I’m not worried for you. I wouldn’t be surprised if you get job offers left and right, but you’re in a position to choose whatever it is you want to do, and we all know you’ll absolutely kill it. Personally, I think you’re an amazing host and a talented storyteller. I would love to see you explore these areas you’re so talented in. You’re destined for greatness, Kyle, and I hope whatever you choose to do is still public-facing so we can follow your success. I’m rooting for you, dude! 💙 Love & Respect

SureManCool - Drew

Kyle, the Final Bosman was a big part of making me really grow to love GT and then follow the whole gang to Easy Allies. You will be badly missed. I can honestly say that I really don't get it, and I'm very sad to see you go. It saddens me that EZA has grown stale for you, but that being the case I know you cannot stay feeling that way. I know you have a lot of talent, and I am confident you can do great things. I wish you all the best.

Andrew Brown

I never comment either, i'm just here to say this is heartbreaking. Easy Allies and especially Kyle has been so important the last few years of my life. Thank you Kyle, all the best to you.

Daniel Holst

I don't way but I took this news bad, I am very sad it's remind me the time GT was closed. I know it's stupid because the EZA gang are still here But it wouldn't be the same Good luck Kyle. Hope you will find what you want to do. L&R

bangos

I never commented before, but I just wanted to say: Thank you, Kyle! You, and GT/EZA, have helped me through tough times. EZA gave me something familiar, something stupid, something funny whenever I needed it. Selfishly, I wish you did not leave. Not because of the EZA podcast or streams or bets, but because of the collection of familiar faces that I believe can do anything they want together. However, I understand that sometimes personal change is needed. And in that, I wish you all the best and hope that you can find what you are searching for.

nilgeki

This is a definitely a shock. Not sure what to say but, to be frank, you've always been my favortite of the bunch ever since you started your own shows at GT, so this is very sad indeed. But I get it and I'm thankful for all the years of 'content' and 'experiences' ;) you gave me. Good luck on figuring out what's next for you and I hope we'll see you again in the future. All the best to you Kyle.

Wow I don’t think I realized how much easy allies meant to me until I read this I was actually brought to tears. All the best to you Kyle I’m sure you will succeed in whatever you put your mind to.

Brice Hornsby

Sorry, but I'm just so fucking sad right now. I can't get over this. :(

Dennis M.

We'll always have Grampa Oil

I'm sorry to hear that but you do what you have to. You're a big part of why I love Easy Allies so though I will still watch, It surely won't be the same as most of my favourite content has been created by or influenced by you. Hope to see you return to the spotlight with your new Main Thing in a not too distant future! Until then, and for the remainder of your time with the allies - Thank you!

GermanScientist

Do what you need to do. Thanks for all the great moments over the years and L&R.

I'm devastated. I know I should be thankful and wish you the best but I can't help but feel incredibly sad. All good things come to an end. L&R

He will be with them till the end of April. So EZX streaming and Never Too Late to Dreamcast are still on, it sounds like.

Knew this day would come someday but still hard to process. Thanks for all the laughs and good times over the years Kyle. Wish you luck in future pursuits! L&R

So sad to hear this, a real gut wrench, I understand though as I did the exact same thing in December. Good luck with finding you main thing and regardless of what it is you will shine. P.s don't be a stranger.

Thanks for all the amazing years of content. Feel proud in what you’ve helped create with EZA and I wish you the best in finding your “Main Thing”. And when it happens, know you’ve got this community still supporting you in following your dreams. - L&R

Greg Kettering

So Much Love and So Much Respect

Aurélien GRANIER

Thank you for everything Kyle. You are a wonderful person who brought joy to me and thousands of people around the globe.Good luck in whatever dream you wish to pursue. Keep dreaming!!!!

It really does feel sudden. Yall were just talking about your Dreams creation yesterday.

All good things

Man this hurts, through the technological wonders of YouTube and Twitch we’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time together without meeting, and whenever people ask me if I have any role models I have to educate them on a quirky games journalist by the name of Kyle Bosman. Thank you for the french fry analogy though, while I believe EZA is truly great I always felt like you were destined for the stratosphere. So while I’ll have a bit of a cry to myself as I continue to work through the Banjo-Tooie streams, I just want to say thank you for being an invaluable source of comfort, wisdom, humour and hot takes during my adolescence and now my adulthood. Very excited for what you do next. Have a good time dude.

Kyle, I love you brother. I hope everything goes well for you. You've been like a friend to me that I listen to every week for 5 or 6 years. Safe travels, good luck, and know we're always here for ya. Love & Respect.

I don't know what to say, you got me off guard man, it's really hard to hear this but I wish you the best and hope you achieve what ever you dream you have, Love & Respect <3

Well, color me shocked. Kyle, you're an inspiration to your fans, your work provides entertainment for thousands of people, and I personally really hope that you find everything you're looking for. You bring an aura to all of your content that I have really become attached to. Best of luck, and Love and Respect.

Hi, Kyle. I have been dreading this moment for a very, very long time. I love you all so much that losing one of you is like losing a family member. I knew this would happen eventually, but honestly thought it would be years down the line. However, as sad as this makes me, since we are going through one of the most difficult times in Human history, this news hasn't shocked or made me as sad as I was dreading. You don't know me, Kyle, but I love your personality and the work you have done and do - specially Fiasconauts, The EZA Podcast and Box Peek. Thinking of Fiasconauts and The EZA Podcast without is already starting to hurt, but I understand wanting to find "your thing" and I applaud you for that. Thanks for everything you've gave us not just from Easy Allies, but from GameTrailers, The Game Awards, etc. I truly hope you find your main thing and that it makes you as happy and fulfilled as you can be. Love & Respect (Sincerely) PS. Please keep us posted on whatever you end up doing, even if it isn't gaming related. We care about you and would love to hear great things from you.

Daniel Ribeiro

As sad as this is for the fans, we all support and love you. Good luck, Dark Prince. <3

ZeoVGM

This hurts. Be well, Kyle Bosman. Thanks for everything!

Damn dude, this hit me like a ton of bricks. I know this must sound strange coming from someone you have never met - but your shows and humor have been a significant lifeline in my life ever since I started watching "The Final Bosman". I have struggled with severe anxiety and depression for the past 19 years of my life and “The Final Bosman,” your streams, Box Peek, the Podcasts and everything else you have worked on over the years have always been there to make me laugh and have been such an escape from a reality I really just don’t understand, and even though we have never met - I feel like I have made a friend. Of course this is your life and you don’t owe me or anyone else anything and I don’t want this to sound like I am trying to make you feel guilty for leaving - rather, I just wanted you to know how much of a positive impact you have had on some random guys life. Best of luck to your future endeavors - and please remember to never doubt yourself Kyle. -Matt Shatos (CptnKraken)

Thanks for all the laughs, the streams, and all the fun games on the Easy Allies podcast. You'll be missed, Kyle! I hope you succeed in all your creative projects in the future.

Chris Penwell

Good luck Kyle. I hope you find your happiness son.

Nick Owens

I am deeply saddened by this news, but we all have to prioritise ourselves - we only get one life and we have to push ourselves to get the best out of it, which is what it sounds like you’re looking to achieve Kyle, and I deeply respect that. You will always be treasured by this community and your absence will be deeply felt, but I hope that you (and EZA) can move onward and upwards. Best of luck to you Kyle, I wish you all the joy and happiness in your new venture - Love & Respect

Adam Mullany

I don't know how many hundreds of comments I just read but the consensus is we are going to miss you immeasurably Kyle and we hope you find your Main - Banjo Kazooie is a solid choice imo.

Steven Beaumont

I never comment here, but I just want to wish you the best of luck, Kyle. I will continue to support EZA without you, and I'll be eagerly anticipating your next step, whatever it may be. L&R

Oof, that's a painful one. Good luck Kyle, I have a sneaking suspicion your Main Thing isn't very far away at all. Good luck!

fuyunotabi

Don't know what else to say except that you will be missed. Thanks for everything :)

We love you, Kyle. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Dude I'm gonna miss you so much. Wherever your path takes you don't forget there's still tons of us out there dying to hear from you. Good luck on your next adventure. Hope it's goodbye for now and not goodbye! Thanks for Box Peek.. the gameboy game.. the streams and memes and all the good times. Cheers!

Raven Perez

Love you Kyle you've been inspiring since final bosman. Hate to see you go it def wont be the same without you. To Infinity and Beyond all the Love and Respect stay easy ! tears ....

John Wingate

Best of luck, Kyle.

nny

Man on one hand terrible news, on the other, the best of luck to you, Kyle. I can’t wait to see your main thing happen. L&R

Max Thomaßen

This is simultaneously really upsetting and oddly exciting. Seeing one of my favorite content creators leave my favorite content creating group sucks but if that means seeing Kyle at his fullest and hopefully best self I'll take it. Can't wait to see what you do next and know you'll have our support when you do! L&R

AcBashEm

Thanks for all your hard work Kyle. You and the other allies have brought a lot of joy into the world and i hope that your main thing brings you that same joy. Good luck out there.

I wish you all the best, Kyle. Thank you for everything you've given to us!

RiggsRay

Hey Kyle, I'm more of a background person in chat and in everything Easy Allies. I can't say I've been a fan since the GT days or anything like that. I found Easy Allies around a year after it was a thing. After skimming and looking into everything Easy Allies had to offer I clicked the most with your kind of content and thoughts on games. I started watching Dumb Game Monday which got me interested in Final Bosman. You were the main draw for me to become a patron and even occasional Twitch subscriber. I still appreciate and love what the other guys do, but I'm definitely going to miss your streams, which I've been watching consistently for the last 3 years. It really sucks and I'm going to miss it a lot, but I totally understand. I hope you find what you're looking for, and I hope when you do, or maybe even before you do, you still find time to Stream or hang out every now and again. I wish you the best.

Somehow even with everything going on in the world right now, this was the thing that hit me hardest this week. Easy Allies has become a big part of my life over the last few years, and the team wouldn't have felt the same without you. I have no idea if you'll ever read this since you're about to get a million comments on this post, but I just want to thank you for the wit, creativity, and dedication you bring to everything you do. I have a great deal of respect for your willingness to take this next step in your life, and I hope you find something that brings you fulfillment - and I'm sure many of us will be there following along no matter what that ends up being.

So sad to see you go, Kyle. Thank you so much for your contribution to EZA. When someone first recommended me Easy Allies I googled it and a picture of you was the first thing that came up, and I thought, “yeah I could get behind this guy.” I hope you find your Main Thing (and maybe indulge in some fries once in a while). You will be missed.

Michael Federico

Why can't you do your "main thing" at easy allies? You can do whatever you want and reach your full potential. Unless you want to do something outside of gaming, I guess. I wish you all the best and hope you wont regret this decision. And if you do, I'm sure you're always welcome back.

I'm really going to miss you Kyle, Final Bossman got me into the podcasts and made me love all of you guys. I'm not the most active here or on chat, but I was always happy to see you in frametrap, Easy Update, Mysterious Monsters and all the other shows. You always made me laugh and helped me getting through some tough times. Keep being great and all the best luck for whatever your "Main thing" will be. I hope you let us all know about it. Love & Respect

Dragonhunter

It makes me sad to know you will not be with the allies, but it makes me happy to know you will be doing what you want to fulfill your life. Thank you for everything from the GT days to everything in EZA.

Jeremy Ferris

You're the best, Bosman. Don't be a stranger.

Godspeed, Bosman. I hope you find what you are looking for. You are an absolute legend.

James Kennedy

You and all of EZA have done so much for me through the years. So much joy and entertainment. Your voice on the Podcast have been the highlight of the workweek for all this time. I hope you will carry with you that you have made a lifelong impression on me, a complete stranger from Sweden :) Best of luck to you!

Lauri Laivo

I am very sad, it does hurt but i am fully supportive of what you are going to do next! I will try to not to ramble on through text so i will just say thank you so much Kyle!

Calvin Delaney

Wish you all the best! It’s sad and exciting! You will be missed here. Thank your for everything. Love & respect forever dude...

Mark Gekko

This hurts but you gotta do what you gotta do. Kyle, you've had a huge impact on me and you're one of my all time favourite entertainers. Selfishly I hope whatever you move onto next is in the public eye as I'm going to deeply miss your creativity, sense of humour and skill for being entertaining in front of a camera, but really I hope you find what you're looking for, whatever it ends up being, and that you love it. Thanks for everything! L&R forever.

DancingElk

I respect the absolute hell out of this announcement, it takes real courage to look inside yourself and decide to take control of your own life and have a breakthrough change. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dissapointed because your streams were my favourite and the felt like weekly shows every time, but it sounds like this is something that's always been inevitable and I could sort of feel that too. Love you Kyle, keep being you no matter where you go. Your strong unique opinions and creativity wil serve you well <3

Kyle, this really resonated with me. I'm sorry to see you go, I'll miss you at the easy allies family, but I compeltely understand what you mean. Congratulations on having the coverage to take this very important step in your life, many get so comfortable with French fries that they keep eating them and only them even when they know they shouldnt. All the very best.

Matthew Borg

This is sad, of course best of luck but damn you will be missed :(

Thanks for everything and I hope to be able to support you every step of the way forward, wherever that may lead. We're all trying to find our way and I respect the balls you're showing of walking away from something you helped create to make something yourself. L&R dude. Cheers

Marcel "Giru017" Frohlich

Duuuuuuuuuude! I’ll miss you and your french fries, but I also understand what you mean. Please give it your all, whatever it is that you’re doing next. (Will you be more active on Twitter now? A lot of people will be very anxious to follow what you’re up to.) I’m not very active in this community, but I have to come out and express my gratitude for you. You’ve been a constant source good vibes for me ever since your first PS4 Do’s and Dont’s video from back in 2013, so I’m sending you al the love and respect I’ve built up for you throughout the years. This is gonna sound weird, since simply put you’re just a funny guy talking about video games, but you’ve had a positive impact on my life, and I wouldn’t be who I am today partly because of you. Thank you so so much for everything Kyle!

Thanks for everything you’ve given to this community, Kyle. Your presence will be greatly missed - from game streams, to Gundam building, sharing fanart and moderating the podcast, the impression you’ve left on so many other people cannot be understated. You are a wonderfully talented individual and I look forward to whatever you choose to do next. Love and Respect forever, man.

Andrew MacMillan

Wow, Kyle. You've had a huge impact on my life. I'll be a fan for life. <3 Best wishes man

Seraph

Best of luck and thanks for the memories, Kyle. It's a brave move leaving your comfort zone and pursuing your Main Thing, but I have no doubt it will be worth it. ❤️

I just want to say thank you Kyle for all the hard work and dedication you've put into EasyAllies and GT. I'm going to miss you and your humor on the podcast. I'm looking forward to seeing where life takes you next and I wish you the best.

Godspeed Kyle. Thanks for all the entertainment over the years and best of luck at whatever your next adventure is. You've got this. - The Noclip Team

Noclip

I think I'd be shocked if I added up all the time I've spent listening to you in the car to and from work & on streams in my spare time over the past few years and I'm so grateful for how you've made me feel in that time. Good luck Kyle, I hope you find what you're looking for x

Kyle, I feel like you have been giving subtle hints about possibly leaving EZA. It makes me incredibly sad to see it becoming a reality. I left a high paying job in the healthcare insurance industry because I felt like I was contributing negatively to society. In my case I do not regret leaving, even if there are some things I look back on and miss. I remember my initial thoughts after watching your first video at GT were that you were going to be successful at this. You've become my favorite online personality, and I'm confident you are going achieve even greater things. I'm looking forward to your final streams, but since I'm East Coast I usually have to leave early - Colonel_Radec in Twitch chat.

Taubel

Good luck Kyle, I hope you're ok

Andy H

All this years, I have been threating EZA like my main source of content, and I have learn to appreciate all the job each ally do... from the bottom of my heart I will miss you, you will always be an ally for me. And for the rest of the allys, I will be there for you. Always.

I'll be sad to see Kyle go, Friday night streams were always immensely enjoyable, as well as the regular antics across all the years I've been watching. Well wishes Kyle

I'm literally crying and shaking right now. Well not actually, but damn. Best of luck.

Carson Ogen

Needless to say, I am beyond devastated. Love what you bring to EZA and you're an amazing content creator (as are the rest of the allies of course). Although, at the end of the day, your happiness matters and I wouldn't want you to stay if that meant it affecting you. Speaking as someone who has followed you since GT, I sincerely mean this from the bottom of my heart Kyle; Thank you. Good luck finding your main thing.

You can do it. What ever that may be. We all believe in you. Just know the community loves you.

James brown

Have loved everything you made since The Final Bosman, and wish you luck in finding the ever elusive Main Thing, may you have better luck than Mr. Gatsby. You will be missed, but the whole community wishes you the best. Sincerely, all the love and respect in the world, and good luck.

Wergiforce

There are very few things in my life that are close to my heart that I do not have a direct relationship with. If there is something to be said for the advent of social media, it is that the Easy Allies are one of those things. Even though I have not met or directly interacted with you or any of the other Allies your presence radiates a sense of community and belonging that is often lacking in everyday life. So, while change is inevitable and welcome if embraced with an open mind when it comes, it still knocks us on our ass. The Easy Allies without Kyle Bosman, the Podcast, Hall of Greats, E3……!!! I still need a moment. Your unique humour, wit and intelligence will be missed but I’m sure, along with your courage and talent, will serve you on your journey discovering the experiences that provide you with the fulfilment and dietary variety you are looking for. And if you find, like the Prodigal son that your journey one day brings you back here; your family will be waiting to greet you with love and joy. Wishing you the very best.

Elliot Moscow

Good luck on the Main Thing! I'm not sure if it will feel like Easy Allies without you, and you will be missed. Sorry we couldn't get Megaman Legends into the HoG before you left.

REACH YOUR POTENTIAL KYLE

This one hurts. EZA will never be the same without the big bossman. But wishing the best for both parties.

Thank you for the laughs. I am sure I gonna see you again. Good luck finding your next big thing.

Thank you and good luck!

Seth Bailey

Love and Respect Kyle! Good luck finding and nurturing your Main Thing. You will be missed, and I hope we see you in the future at least a guest!

Anon

I'm not an emotional person, but I have to say that this makes me very sad. Part of me wishes this was a bit, and no other person has made me laugh so much for the last couple of years. But I get it; I've been planning for a carrer switch for a few months now, which is both terrifying and exciting. Whatever you choose to do next, I have no doubts it will be great. Do keep us updated us on what you are doing and how we can support it.

Neuromod

Thanks for it all Kyle. You've helped me get through a lot. I'll miss you at EZA but I'm happy you're taking the plunge into the depths of fear to come out and find your main thing. Wishing you greatness, hope to see you in the future. Tomorrow is forever all yours.

Well this is the saddest news since GTs closure. My favorite allie leaving eza hurts so much. I hope we will get to see you again sometime.

Rosamune

Kenji Fuse Holy cow. Best of luck to everything you do onwards from here and I truly mean that. At the same time I feel almost devastated. This sounds a bit drastic, but thats just how much of a impact you had on me on a weekly basis. Still a bit lost for words, but anway. Thank you very very much for everything you did for us at Easy Allies. I will treasure these memories. Love and Respect. Kenji

Kenji Fuse

Parasocial relationships be damned, Mr Bosman you have indeed had an impact on my life, even as a background internet voice that gently guided me through certain unsure parts of my life. I really hope you are able and to grow from here on out, and live your best life. Good luck!

Malcolm Cooke

Kärlek och respekt. Tack för din tid hos Easy Allies. Tack för din röst och dina analyser. Jag hoppas att få fortsätta höra vad du har att säga i andra kanaler. Tack Kyle.

Watching your content on EZA has been an absolute pleasure. Wish you nothing but the best.

It's hard when someone you love to see and hear every week will be leaving. My favourite thing about the allies is that each one of you is a unique voice, and I appreciate each one. Thanks for so many hours of entertainment and hard work, from The Final Bosman until now. I wish you the best in all your adventures to come Kyle! Good luck, you've always got the love and respect of all the allies.

Eric J

That was a lot of words . but i dont see what the issue is? why are you leaving again? I think you are just tired. and that is clouding ur judgment. take a couple of months off. and then return. unless u have a family issue to take care of outside of LA. if so, god bless you. Wish you the best

Thanks for everything Kyle. Love & Respect

Udit Singh

I love that the other Allies knew you were leaving...and still didn't put Mega Man Legends in the Hall of Greats! You'll be cavernously missed, Kyle. But if you gotta do it, you gotta do it. I look forward to following your future endeavours, and hope you won't be a stranger with the Allies or the wider EZA community.

Thanks for the memories Kyle. You have entertained me alot. Keep in touch.

Thanks for everything, Kyle. It's been a pleasure watching your streams and I wish you the best of luck!

You're gonna be the very best, Kyle. You always have been, and I know you always will be. It won't be the same without you. Love & Respect is something I live by, even though the most people here probably disagree. Thank you for your time, energy, love, and full effort. No one person can comprehend the impact your individuality must have had on thousands of lives over the years, but I can say it was a pleasure to watch you in every instance you poured your heart and soul into the day's project. Be well, Bossman, and go boldly!

Mac

I'm sad to see you go Kyle. but I understand this is something that is best for you. I'm going to miss your comedy and endless bits. You always put so much effort into all of your works whether it was the podcast, your streams, or Box Peek. I really admired how driven you were to push your boundaries. Your candor about the anxiety you go through was also something I could relate to, and I really appreciated your willingness to discuss it. I wish you all the luck on whatever your next endeavor will be. Thank you Kyle for helping make Easy Allies a great community that has brought me endless hours of joy.

Rinder86

This makes me incredibly upset and sad, but I recognize it’s because you’ve made a positive impact on me and I’ll miss you. Best of luck in what comes next!

Tzp2gameknight

A break for yourself with nothing lined up is necessary at times. I've been there and I hope you get to reenergize. If you do pop up out of nowhere in the future after whatever it is you figured out, we'll just be ecstatic for you.

Ninja_Kitty_Meow

I totally get it, Kyle. Thank you for everything. You are the fucking man!

Hope you'll find something good to eat, other than french fries, and it makes you happy! :D

eirik

Kyle, I’m really sad you’re leaving (you were the main reason I got interested in E. Allies), but I want to thank you for all you’ve done. You will surly be missed. :(

Sad but hopeful. Have enjoyed following you and your work since GT. It's clear you can do much more, so I trust this'll be best for you. Would love to see your next thing, but understand if this is goodbye for a while. Hope you can lean on people--EZA peeps or others close to you. All the best, man.

Cloisterance

This is so sad, but we’ll be keeping up with you Kyle. Love you man, please be well when you leave and I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for. And let us know what that is if you find it! We care ❤️

Changes happen for a reason. I know you’ll find your way. ❤️

Whatever your new venture is, I hope its on screen. If not, you can always surprise us on a group stream or podcast of course.

Brian Sanichar

The enemy of growth is comfort and I think anyone here could read the tea leaves that you were destined for greater things than the Easy Allies. It's going to hurt to see you go but I know whatever you do next is going to be amazing. Make sure to keep us in the loop so we can send a big Spirit Bomb of positive vibes your way. Also, thanks for the countless hours of laughs and entertainment these last four years. I can't wait to see what's next!

DjDeathCool

This honestly made my heart hurt quite a bit. I'm very sad to see you leave. Hope the future brings you nothing but good things <3

Mattias Bäcklin

Kyle.. Thanks for all the joy, laughter and smiles you've brought me these last eighth years Kyle! I'm going to miss having you as blanket at the end of every week. Wow.. I'm shocked beyond comprehension..! I've pictured this departure as certainty, but not so soon and not so abruptly after announcement.

David Halvorsen

I love you man and we'll miss you

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on games with me and my family these past years Kyle! Wishing you well for the future!

This makes me incredibly sad. See you again soon dark prince, you’ll be missed.

Kevin Weaver

love you, kyle. good luck!

It's the end of an era, one I'm honored to have been witness to. Love and Respect Kyle, may your Buran fly high in whatever you do next o7

Ian Valentine

This hurts.

This really hurts gonna miss you Kyle, pop back here and there would ya? Best of luck Nerd king

Cameron Kennedy

Do great things! We know you can!

Bjorn

This is really sad for me to read, will miss you on EZA content. Best of luck trying to find your way.

Thank you so much Kyle. For everything you’ve given me, done, made, even if it doesn’t feel like much, it’s so much. Your impact on my life is huge and all you’ve done to make me a better host and moderator are hard to put into words. Thank you Kyle. Love and respect.

Auri

Absolutely gutted...

I've watched and loved everything you've made since the beginning. Thanks for everything Kyle you're my favorite internet person ever. PS: if your Main Thing has nothing to do with video games I'd still pay good money for your unique thoughts and opinions on games and the industry every now and then. L&R

This is just barely less devastating than GT closing. The Friday Streams and the highlight of my week, a time to relax on my day off. This is so saddening. But I knew the day would come, Kyle's got ambition and I think Box Peek was a glimpse at that. We're lucky we have the time we had with him.

What a coincidence! You posted the date of my last day as a patron.

Dennis M.

Thanks so much for the years of great podcasting and entertainment. You will be sorely missed. The EZA won’t be the same without you. I'm just sorry you didn’t get Megaman Legends in before you left man! 😭 But in a serious note, thanks! You’re work for GT and EZA got me through several family deaths, a nasty break up, and several Jobs. I can’t thank you enough for it all. And I can’t wait for the main thing to give you a better nutritional balance. L&R

Revalow

May tomorrow forever be all yours, dream lover.

This is indeed troubling news. I am saddened by it for sure. But i understand the curiosity of finding one's missing puzzle piece in their life. I refuse to say "goodbye", or "good luck", instead I'll shout out: "Give em all you've got soldier!!!"

Danni-H4

Oh, yeah. This pain feels familiar. What are the Allies thinking, unleashing „The Dark Prince“ on the unsuspecting and desinteressted public? But, in all seriousness... You are my sufficiently functional night light in a dark bathroom. The suprise sale at my second favorite store. The monday morning traffic that isn‘t as bad as i thought it would be. You are a delight. See you soon, Space Cowboy.

You'll be missed man, appreciate everything you've done for this community. Best of luck!

Thank you so much for bringing some happiness and laughs into my depressed life. I'm going to miss you a lot, Bosman, but I want to wish you all the best with your future and I know you'll do great, whatever it is you decide to do! Thank you again L&R

MarziiBarks

All the best, Kyle. Thanks for all the laughs. Go out there and find your thing!

https://media0.giphy.com/media/9h4VC3FTap7G0/giphy.gif

Kyle I've been a fan since the first episode of Final Bosman. Gonna be tough to see you go, but I wish you the best of luck in finding your "main thing", whatever that may be. L&R

Msap

Very big fan of your work. Thank you for what you’ve given for us all. Best wishes in the next chapter Bosman.

Thanks a lot for sharing your french fries for us for so many years Kyle. All the best for the future of the Dark Prince of Nerd Media

Pablo C.

Hey Kyle best wishes with finding your big thing too work on. You do a lot for the allies and I can understand it leaves you with no time find that thing your looking for. I am more disappointed then I would be as I was seriously planing a trip too meet the allies. It won’t be the same without you. But that being said there isn’t any reason why you can’t still come around as a guest so maybe next year when easyx happens there is a hope of kicking your arse in a new halo. I love your work and enjoying your streams although mostly in archives. But thank for your amazing work and bits. I will always have seared into my mind haveing sleezer picked for glynes cauldron and those the many hilarious forms people made of that little shit. Thank you truely love and respect

Matthew Palling

Thanks for everything Kyle. Best of luck.

Kyle fucking Bosman. I remember the first time a friend sent me a link to an episode of The Final Bosman. I don't remember the episode but I was immediately hooked, I tuned in every week. After several months of tuning in every week, I remember my heart sinking as I watched the final GT stream; it felt like when I was 10 and I had to move away from all my friends. I remember feeling actual joy when you started Bosman at Home and things started to feel like they were getting back to normal. I remember the awkward promise of the first Easy Allies Podcast and the excitement that you all were building something new. Over the last four years Easy Allies has cemented itself as a part of my life, with the Podcast, Fiasconauts (can you at least come back for Fiasconauts sometimes?,) and the Betting Specials the highlights. What I'm trying to say is this is going to be a loss. I hope that you continue to be involved in some form of produced content down the road (I'm not big on streams personally) as your voice is unique and the way that you have influenced Easy Allies and gaming commentary is important (to me anyway.) I hope you find what you are looking for and I wish you the best of luck. I feel like my friend is moving away again.

Dean Falletti-Velasco

As sad as I am I hope you find what it is you want to do man.

Victor Pham

Thank you, Kyle. It's hard to put in words how much your work at Easy Allies has helped me over the years. You never ceased to amaze me with your creative and funny way of moderating the weekly podcast, which has become a valuable, comforting constant in my life. The least I can do now is to support you in your decision and wish you only the best for the future. Love & Respect

ToiletDrummer

Stunned. You will be missed man.

Cabbagelad

Holy shikes. I don’t know what to say. I’m just extremely sad. It won’t be the same without you :(

Tim Bechen

Kyle, I truly wish you the best. I know it must have been a hard decision, but I'm happy that you decided to do the right thing for you. I hope you will find your true calling, and we will be there to follow you on your next adventure. Hoepfully, we will see you before too long on Twitch. Your stream have always been the hightlights of my week! L&R

MaxVSTheGames

L&R. Good luck out there Kyle.

Marble Match

Love you Kyle. Find your thing, thanks for all the years!

Thank you for everything you've done, Bosman.

Andrew Chalmers

Thank you Kyle for all you've done and all the fantastic moments that will stick with me for life. Good luck Kyle im very excited for you to achieve your hearts desire and becoming the Kyle your meant to be

Kyle you have become a role model and inspiration for me over the past 1.5 years, and I've loved your banter, humor, effort, and appreciation you've brought to EZA. I wish you all the best and will still be a big fan, wherever the wind takes you!! Best wishes my friend!

Aaaand that’s my sub.

Devin Lee

Wish you well, Kyle. I hope you find everything you want and need. This breaks my heart, man. Take care out there.

Just wanted to say that since I accidentally discovered the Final Bosman (I think the ep was "Nintendo Got Its Mojo Back, Baby") all those years ago that I became an instant fan. Or it might have you been yelling at Glinny for all too long.. or maybe the Mugsy Mugs bit. Whenever it actually happened you became a constant source of entertainment and levity for the highs and lows of my career journey in animation (more lows, really) and my life in general. You were a positive constant in an otherwise tumultuous existence, and I can't thank you enough for that. Nor can I thank you enough for letting me participate in your life, whether it was through your weekly art shows, or getting selected for "And For That Reason" or, a major highlight for me, watching you get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in my Mario Maker creation "Mario's Late for Work! (Again!)" You were more than a source of entertainment, you were a source for engaging creativity, as witness by the community you've helped nourish and what it gave back to you. I'm going to miss having you as that outlet. Having taken enough big leaps in my own life, it pains me to see you leave but I completely understand your need to move on. I could prattle on and on so I'll just conclude: - I'll miss you tons - I wish you the best and brighest and creatively fulfilling future - I love ya - I respect ya Good bye for now oh dark prince of nerd media. Neil B @MayorMcFrumples

Neil K Bonsteel

The Dark Prince strikes again. We will all miss you, you are a 10/10.

Brogan Trull

My fiance has had a rough last two years, various medical issues and losing her precious pomeranian of 14 years. We have known each other about 8 years and I knew from day 1 that his passing was going to be ine of the worst days of our lives. The only thing that cheered her up after his passing was watching your streams and for that I will always be grateful. You have made so many of us smile and comforted us in dark times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, we love you man. You're a 10/10

Daniel Mogo Sanchez

EZA will never be the same without you, Kyle, I would lie if I said that this doesn't make me sad... but I'm totally looking forward to what the future has in store for you! So hyped! Let's do this, Dark Prince <3! L&R.

You're an inspiring talent - kudos for demanding more of your self and your life. Best of luck and health to you mate!

LO!

I wonder what you'll be doing after EZA.. This is intensely sad but I wish you the best on whatever you choose to do, Kyle. Much L&R

Carson Khuu

Thank you for all you’ve done with GT/EZA. You’ve been an inspiration to me as I’ve carved my way into a creative career. I’ll miss your humor and your entertaining podcast segments. To the rest of the allies, if reading, I continue to look forward to what EZA will bring. Stay positive, we have your backs!

Have to say I'm really saddened by this; of course I wish you all the best, but at the same time I really hope you'll still be dropping in from time to time. Even if you're no longer a regular, you're still an ally, Love and Respect!

Haravikk

SilentConsonant broke the news to me by saying "You're gonna need a hug." in the most somber tone, so naturally I assumed someone had died. When he followed it up with "Kyle is leaving Easy Allies" it definitely softened the blow because I'd already imagined worse news. Reading the post itself definitely made me tear up though. Easy Allies definitely won't be the same without you Kyle, but I'm interested to see what shape it will take in your absence. I'm proud of you for making such a tough decision though and I hope that whatever your thing eventually is will still give us the gift of your weird wonderful self in some shape or form. I can definitely say my life has been bettered by the creations you've put out into the world. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with all of us and best of luck in finding your next thing. L&R <3

Brittany Fuller

I can only echo all the other comments in that this is saddening and I now realise you were apparently a big part of my enjoyment of EZA, but I'm very impressed by the move you're making. Plunging yourself into a deep unknown is scary but very exciting all the same and I'm very curious along with you to see where this will bring you. The absolute best of luck and lots of love an respect.

Don't be a stranger, and don't drop off of the face of the earth please. We want to hear from you!

This makes me sad. But all the best for whatever comes your way.

First time commenting. I am upset because of how sudden it was, but I hope everything works out in the end and know it's not personal to anyone. I started watching EZA because of Kyle, and his energy brings me out of bad funks all the time. But I stayed and became a patron because of the ensemble, and that won't change. There will be a Bosman-shaped hole in my Bosman-shaped heart. Love and respect.

This hurts! But I got to say good luck in finding that "main thing". Thank you for all those years of entertainment and making my everyday a little better! As much as it may sound weird since we never met, I'm going to miss hearing you! Sincerely, L&R

News like this hits really damn hard. Really hope you find whatever it is you need to feel fulfilled, Kyle. Thanks for seven years or so of being just a completely unique person in gaming coverage that no other can hope to replace. :(

Kirbu

Geez. Hate and disrespect.

Wishing all the best for Kyle in his future projects! But this does make me wonder, was this timeline always the plan or were you planning on sticking around until E3 (And since it's been cancelled there's no point)?

Eisen

The Easy Allies podcast was the first thing I listened to and watched when hearing about you folks in late 2017 and the community feel is what has kept me coming back every time to the company's content. I also feel I owe it to myself to check out Box Peek, heard really good things about it and I'll find some time to dive in. Even though I've never met any of you and possibly won't get a chance to living in England, it feels like losing a friend as they move away, but hopefully this new venture works out for you. Thank you for everything Kyle.

Anthony Stevens

Damn man, I’ve been a fan of your since your first Final Bosman back during the GT days. It’s def not going to be the same without you, but I wish you all of the best homie! Good luck on finding your main thing, and know that all of the Allies are forever rooting for ya!

Mo Grant

Devastated 😢 Good luck and hope to see you somewhere in the future ✌️

Kyle, best wishes to wherever your journey may take you next. EZA will never be the same without your presence. Thank you for the last four years, it's been an incredible ride and we will all miss you dearly.

Kyle, what about world peace? There are two equal, opposite, devestating forces at EZAm and now Damiani will plunge this world into darkness..

Jon Ofte Jakobsen

Kyle, to say I'm sad to lose you from the EZA weekly webcasts, wacky shows and your general voice over all of the group would be a massive understatement. I have followed your work since the first Final Bosman and have always connected with your style self-deprecating/self-aggrandizing humor and your genuine drive for creativity and excellence in the smallest of places. You have inspired me in so many ways, not the least of which was to start my own youtube series after being completely enthralled and amazed by your work on BoxPeek. Your passion for everything you do radiates out of you and has clearly influenced the other eight gentlemen on your team. Though you are moving on, I know your impact on EZA will last forever. I always suspected you'd move on at some point. As great as EZA is, the scope of what you can achieve outside this group is enormous. I really hope to see you or your work on TV/Netflix etc. It's also super inspiring that you're moving on without a firm landing spot. As someone who is struggling with what to do next in my own career, I really admire the guts it took to take the time you need to find what's right for you. I can only imagine that your passion, skills and creativity will take you to places you never imagined. I wish you the best of luck in whatever is next for you and hope to see you soon in whatever that is. Thanks for years of entertainment and inspiration, Brandon

Like many others here I'm genuinely crushed by this news. I've followed you guys since the beginning of your GT days and always enjoyed what you put together. Your eye for creativity and the passion you (in particular) put into your content (and EZA as a whole) was so incredibly unique and crafted. Understandably you have to do what's best for you and your life. EZA won't be the same without you and you will be greatly missed. Good luck with whatever you find yourself doing in the future and thank you for everything you've done for us. You're full of potential and talent.

Good luck with everything, Kyle. EZA wont be the same without you.

The murderous Pangolin who secretly lives in your sock drawer

This makes me surprisingly sad, but I'll follow you wherever you go.

Tyler Travis

Dear Kyle I have enjoyed your work this far immensely, and will continue to follow you though your future endeavours if possible. I can’t say i’m not saddened by the fact you are continuing forward on your journey away from eza, this i mean with the upmost love and respect. The dynamic with your co-stars (that is not a typo or a bit) is extraordinary, but eza will be in the best hands given the circumstance. Your podcasts has been with me through 4 work lay offs, 2 child births, 3 house purchases, 2 bachelor degrees and the loss of my mother. And you (as well as the crew) has been through all of this with me. What i’m trying to say in for me a foreign language is that you have been a huge part of my life, and if this is goodbye, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you the best of luck and hope we will have the privilege of following you further. Love and respect from norway Stian

[Stoner Skater voice] 'Dude. You killed my boner.' As you can guess, I'd like to try and be jolly. This hurts, massively, but you can only have so many messages like that. Nice job on having the cajones to do this, for starters. It's not easy, and you've made the right call. We regret the things we DON'T do, in the end, after all. We'll no doubt see you again. In the meantime, I'm already predicting that your Tarot card will become some weird kind of spell or summon. Thank you for taking my stupid Survival Horror Design Lab (which the crowd on Twitch didn't remember was even a thing by the 5th episode) somewhat seriously, on the Q&As. I will forever cherish a 'patch of skin' in my inventory. In the meantime, look after yourself, and go find your thing. This play of 'Only In Dreams', is for you. Thank you for being a part of our lives. - Rich PS. I hope this isn't some weird Final Destination thing playing out from the latest Kill Your Babies.

Richard G Flowers

Kyle you are a serious light in many of our lives. The fact that you are always chasing that next thing has always made for an exciting journey for all of us. I hope you find that thing, your thing and you rock it! your a butt kicker man so keep kicking butts!

There is a Kyle Bosman shaped hole in my Kyle Bosman shaped heart =<

Tetsujin

Thanks for the goofs, gaffs and everything you've brought to Easy Allies, you will be missed a hell of a lot, but I sincerely hope you find a Main Thing that fulfils you. All the best in whatever your next endeavour may be. Love and Respect, Harry

Harry - 2SON

Watched since the early days of Final Bosman. I hope you find the fulfilment you're looking for. Thanks for everything. L&R

Thank you for four awesome years, Kyle. Good luck!!! <3

Then make a fucking production that isn’t French fries and shut down damianis push for streaming that he even regrets. God damn it this is the one person who could leave where I’m like “oh they’re fucked” you have no idea how bad this is gonna be. RIP. The last good thing we had in this fucking industry. Thanks for nothing guys I can’t wait for more damiani streams with 12 views.

Devin Lee

Wow.... This is a huge fucking blow I wasn't prepared for. Because you have such a larger-than-life personality, I'll be honest in saying that it doesn't feel like one ninth of EZA is leaving, but a third. It'll definitely take some time for it to sink in. But you used a great analogy and I totally get it. Ripping the band-aid off sucks, but I'm sure you also feels tons of relief knowing that the hardest part is over. I hope that you find whatever you are searching for. Obviously you will be missed like hell. Just don't be a stranger. Love & Respect my friend!

Chris Leroux

I tought that Easy Allies was your thing. Then i tought Box Peek was your thing. I cannot lie. I really feel hurt. Its like an old friend is leaving me. This is crazy. We never met, also i think if we ever did we would not like each other too much. Im also a 36 year old grown man, but still im tearing up about the tought you leaving. I think this must mean i care about you. I hope that you find what you are looking for. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the fun times you given me with your hard work. And sry for the english, im from Hungary. Don't be a stranger, check in sometimes, whenever you feel like it. See you around imaginary friend! L&R

On one hand, I can completely understand the french fry eating feeling of life and I respect you for moving on to something else. On the other hand, not being able to see you interact with Jones on a weekly basis made my stomach drop. Feels like something in my life just died. Best of luck, Kyle.

This is crushing. Kyle, thank you for everything. I hope you find what you are looking for. You deserve the absolute best.

Well I'm sad now

I love you, Kyle. Selfishly, this is devastating news. Best of luck on your journey. Hope your new “main thing” is beyond your wildest dreams.

What strange life we're living, in which you have no idea who I am and I am feeling like I am about to lose a dear friend. I hope you find satisfaction in whatever you will be doing and that you will not be disappointed if there is no Main Thing, but rather a string of Minor Things that make this existence equally or even more worthwhile.

I haven't felt this gutted for a long time, but it also fills me with feelings of respect and admiration at the same time. I cannot put into words what you have done for me all these years at GT and EZA. You are an incredible inspirational human being and I think this is an inspirational step. I am rooting for you to find and establish your Main Thing. Thank you for everything, Kyle.

Backlog Crusader

It’s a sad day, but after everything you’ve given us, you deserve to find something that makes you happy and gives you peace! Thank you for all the years of hard work, fun, and tears. I hope your time off the grid is incredibly fulfilling, and that you keep fighting against depression and anxiety with the support of people who love you! I’m still praying for you, and I legitimately believe you’ve had a positive impact on a couple thousand lives these last years. Thank you so much, Kyle! Max

Max 'hisShame' Terman

Sincerely all the best, Kyle. It's gonna be hard to imagine EZA without you.

Hey Kyle. I discovered this group and podcast only a few years ago, and your sense of comedy has brought many chuckles and laughs to my life. I want to thank you for that. I also feel like I understand where you are coming from, as I am also at a point in my life where I need to decide if what I'm doing is really My Thing. It's an exiting and scary time for me, but I feel like I need to do what I love. I hope you find what you love. I hope you enjoy every second of doing it. And I hope someone pays you a lotta cash to do it!

Thank you for everything, Kyle. From the bottom of my heart ❤

Damn dude, I’m at work and you got me crying. I’m sad to see you go but I’m excited and happy to see what your Main Thing ends up being. All the love and respect in the world, thank you Kyle.

Andrew Stoak

fuck. this seriously sucks.

Aaron

Crazy to think I've watched you pretty much every week since you started appearing on GT in 2013. Man that's a long time. Super happy that you're pursuing your Main Thing, and thank you so much for literally hundreds and hundreds of hours of videos, that have been there when I've needed them. Thank you so much Kyle. Tomorrow is forever all ours.

Peter White

Years ago, I randomly clicked into GameTrailers dot com, and the first thing I saw was a headline that read, “Donkey Kong is Better than Mario.” That was my first-ever episode of The Final Bosman, and I’ve been ride-or-die with you folks ever since. Kyle, you are one of the greats.

zak wojnar

Ever since Box Peek, I've gotta admit, I've been thinking, "Surely Kyle's gonna move on soon". He's way too talented. No disrespect to Easy A, of course. But this is what needed to happen! Good luck, man!

keithbungle

The first time I ever saw you was from the GT FF7/Shenmue 3 reaction, but I didn't start watching GT after that. It was a few years later when I stumbled upon the Easy Allies Switch Presentation Betting Special that I was introduced to "Unrepentant Bosman," and I became a near-daily viewer of EZA from then on. You have been such a source of inspiration and motivation, whether it's watching you try to beat Wozniak in Tetris, or watching you learn how to make a game from scratch and producing one of the best written video games of 2019. Whatever comes next, I hope you find your "Main Thing" and that it gives you lifelong fulfillment and happiness. Best of luck, Jordon

It's funny to me that this is genuinely devastating news. I am so grateful for all you've given me and the community and of course I wish you all the luck in love, life and happiness. Thank you Kyle

Thanks Kyle for everything you brought to GameTrailers and Easy Allies. You will be seriously missed. You brought an extremely unique perspective to gaming and your views,jokes,bits and general charisma can't be replaced. I hope you find that thing that fulfills you and general makes you a happier, better person. GT Time and EZA Podcast have become a tradition in my week to week life and not having you hosting will be a tough transition. All the best, nothing but Love and Respect for you and the remaining allies, the alliance may have lost a key person of the court but it shall never fall.

Wow this hits hard. Thank you Kyle for your humor, your creativity and al lot of great moments. I wish you the very best after this bryve decision. Hope you can achieve your goals!

Thanks for making me tear up at work. Good luck to you. Thanks for everything.

ssnake24

Thank you for being blunt and transparent with your message. I would be lying if I said reading this didn’t cause a reaction. I mean that in the best possible way. It is so weird to feel like I’m losing contact with a friend. At the same time I feel proud of what you are doing. It takes a lot of courage to take these steps and it is worthy of admiration. Gonna miss you dearly. Thank you, Kyle.

Extremely sad news. I love your uniqueness and weird yet also often accurate takes on things. You're an essential part of the Allies. These have been wonderful years with you as a part of the Nine. I do wish you all the best on your journey, but this leaves me heartbroken nevertheless. Love you man.

Ville Ranto

I’m crushed and I wish you the best.

Kola Aina

Best wishes on your path, Kyle. Every journey has a first step and that first step usually is the hardest one to take. You’re going to to great! Thanks for everything

I am saddened to hear this as you will be missed but I do wish you the best on your future endeavours Kyle. Love and Respect

CosmicCrown

Wish you the best.

So sad to see you go but I hope it will all turn out all right.

Hey Kyle, thanks for all the laughs over all the years. Do your best out there, we all believe in you!

Kyle, I just want to thank you for years and years of great memories & moments you have created for me. It will be very, very hard to not have you as part of the Easy Allies anymore, but I only wish that you will be granted as much happiness & joy in your personal endeavours as you've provided to so many of us. :)

Can't fault you for doing it. As a consumer of easy allies content it sucks. If I were you I would do the same thing though.

Generally I don't post much or interact much with the community, but given this situation I feel I must say atleast something. Gametrailers was a part of my childhood, I grew up listening to Jones voice on those awesome top 10 lists, little by little I became a Gametrailers superfan and a Kyle Bosman fan at that. Every year I would eagerly await for those E3 vetting specials, they honestly made e3 for me. I would never forget The last Bosman episodes wich meant so much to me. Needless to say, that when gametrailers ended I was extremely sad. Then Easy Allies came. Having Kyle and the gang back made me shed tears of joy. I have been woth you guys since I was in elementary school; I am graduating collage now... How does time fly... What I am trying to say is: Kyle you have been a very important part of my life, entertaining someone is no easy task, and giving him joy and laughter with it is much harder. You gave me all of that. You be great in everything you set out to do and know that everything you have done up until now was amazing.

You are a unique and exceptional individual, and I am sure that your talents will be valued wherever your path takes you. All the best to you, good sir.

Larry DuPreez III

Well this sucks

Abus Maisala

Oh no even Kyle Bosman is canceled!? What a week. Definitely a man that deserves more so good to see him go for it. Also, thought, would love to see maybe Ben promoted to kyles chair on the podcast, and get brad hosting frame trap

Ajax

My first time writing in. So sad to see you go, but excited to see where you go from here. L&R

Wow this hurts man. I'm not the most active community member but I've been silently watching and enjoying all you put together since the first day of the Final Bosman. I'll miss you dude. But also much respect, and best of luck in your future endeavors. I just selfishly wish you won't be offline for too long... I need some Bosman in my life. Probably never have I meant this more sincerely: Love and Respect Kyle. Thanks, and good luck.

Bruh

KingKien1

Kyle, this is.... An inspiration. I respect your decision very much and hope one day I myself have the bravery to find my own thing. Thank you for everything.

JRMX

Kyle you're a treasure and will be missed. Best of luck to you. Sending good vibes and hoping the best in getting your Main Thing going.

This hurts so bad. But good luck to you in whatever you do! I am so dumbfounded though I honestly could cry. But you have to look after yourself. Going to miss you so much! L&R my friend!

Jaan Ibrahim

Wish you all the best in whatever may lay ahead for you Dark Prince of Nerd Media.

Jared Delbridge

Man this makes me sadder than I would have thought it would. Are you still going to be around to do a RE3 remake playthrough with Huber? I always look forward to those streams, they bring me so much Joy!

Heartbroken, but I get wanting to find your 'Main Thing'. I found GameTrailers through your PlayStation reveal Dos and Don'ts and continued watching The Final Bosman till GT's closure and became a Patron pretty soon after you all started up here. I have massively appreciated your ability to lead podcasts, specials, videos, streams etc and have loved your humour. You're a delight to watch. Wherever you go and whatever you do, I hope you find fulfilment. God bless mate and thank you.

Ben Bernard-Smith

Thank you Kyle, for everything. The laughs, the hopes, the love. I'm sure what ever happens in the future will be nothing but amazing for you. I had hoped to be able to meet you at a EZA meetup and give you a hug. But best of luck to you and everything! (I REALLY mean it!) and you will be missed <3

Sebastian Hall

Hey Kyle, this is the first post I've ever written here. I just wanted to say how incredibly thankful I am for the content you've produced up until now, and how much I respect your decision and your bravery to try out something new. I've been in a similar place in my own life, and seeing you make this decision despite the risks involved is nothing short of inspiring. Don't get me wrong, I'm sad to hear that I'll no longer be getting content from you. But I'll be happy knowing that you're living the creative life that you want to, and that gives me inspiration to do the same. All the best, I'm looking forward to whatever you do next.

Feels like i just lost a family member in a weird way, no not even in a weird way. Good luck golden man.

Johan

Damn I'll never see your thoughts about ff7 remake within the allies

Vic

This is such sad news. Kyle you are amazing and I always looked forward to the next kyle stream, podcast etc. I wish you only the best for the future. Please keep us posted on social media so we know where to find you next :) Love & Respect from Norway

Sad to see you go, but I know that whatever you will make, it will probably be something I want to see happen. Good luck and good game

Mark van Dijken

Hope you find what you're looking for man, and thanks for all the laughs and memories :)

Captain_Falcpwn

Awesome that you made this decision. Hope you find that Main Thing man.

Good luck moving forward, you’ll be missed!

RegDaniel

This is so heavy! I understand the need to find what is out there though. Your videos and influence at EZA was always the best, and I'll miss it. I wish and pray that you find what you're looking for and reach your potential. And whenever you return to doing some sort of content or stream, better believe I'll be there!

gybones

Kyle, if you see this I just want you to know that I have nothing but the utmost admiration and respect for you. I've followed your work and contributions for so many years now-- you and the rest of the Allies have been with me through some truly hard times. I think I speak for the community at large when I say you will be missed. That being said, I don't want you to feel as I and the rest of the community don't respect your decision and understand the importance of pursuing what is best for you. I sincerely believe that you are an insanely talented guy with tons of creative potential, which leaves no doubt in my mind that you will find your Main Thing and rock the hell out of it. I wish you nothing but the best, Dark Prince. May your french fries become the finest steak in the lands. Love and Respect.

Gutted but not surprised. I hope you find something that challenges you Kyle and helps you fill that huge potential you have. I completely get the urge, and that is the desire that drives people to do great things. All the best x

Rurmelly

Good luck!! Thank you for everything, you'll do great.

Jacob K

This hurts. I'm not very active in the EZA community, but I have truly enjoyed watching your work evolve. I've been following you and EZA /GT since like 2011/2012, when I was a dead broke college student with no idea of what to do with my life. Your presence will be dearly missed and I sincerely wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Christian Dueñas

Good luck Kyle! I'm certain you'll do great at whatever you choose to do next. Now it's up to Blood to get Megaman Legends in the Hall of greats! L&R

Sebastián Fereira

Very sad to see ya leave Kyle! You're views and child like joy you bring to games has brought me constant enjoyment and shown me what I want to do with my career! Thank you!

Good luck, Sir. You're going to do great. Commit yourself and the talent will shine through in whatever endeavor you land in.

Steven Jenner

Damn kyle. Love u man. Ur hilarious to me. All the best on your future endeavors bro

We'll all miss you at/with EZA, but you have to do what might make you happier. Best of luck, and I'll keep an eye out for if/when you return to the (somewhat) public eye. All the best!

DCGX

I can't say I am happy for this turn of events, cause I'll simply miss one of my favorite content creators, however I am happy for you and for putting yourself first. It needs courage to make a step like this one. I wish you all the best and I really hope to see you again soon. Stay safe Kyle. <3

BBC Chan

Woah. Thanks for all that you’ve done, Mr. Bosman. We love you!

ZatVunDoot

Ouch. That hurts

Owen

You will be missed by not only myself but my whole family. As crazy as it may seem to you, my kids have grown up watching you as well. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Jake

Hey Kyle, damn. I literally never post. I've been watching your shenanigans since the very first video you made for Gametrailers went live and I thought "who is this brilliant weirdo? I love it!" You only got more brilliant and more weird over the years, and I felt the need to tell you that. You and the rest of the Allies videos have helped me through a lot from break ups, to chores to actual sickness, and you have my eternal gratitude. For the Dark Prince of Nerd Media you brought a lot of light into my time online. All the best for the future man, take as long as you need, we'll be here to support whatever you do next, of that even is something we get to hear about and support. Love and Respect man, you earned it.

Ciaran Lyttle

What a bad take, man. He even said that they all knew about his departure well in advance. There would have never been a "right" time for this and I'm sure he helped/is helping them as much as they need - hence the late April exit date, it's not like he's leaving this very day, dude.

AnActualSadTaco

Hey man, seeing a lot of kyle emotes in chat as I got back from work I was like...Wait did he catch corona or something ? and I then I read your post !! Congratulations Kyle, All the best to you in your future endeavours !!! I hope it all works out for you, you are very talentend, multi faceted artists, I'm sure you gonna ROCK IT !!!! Much love from France !

tahitianwarrior

No... I cant even comprehend this

Jeffrey Tessar

Proof that even dreams jobs just become work eventually. Can't imagine it with out you. Good luck!

ComboBreaker

Please update us on social media so we know what you're up to!! :) You always made me laugh Kyle, thank you for everything!

This is so sudden and shocking. I can't imagine all of the EZA content without Kyle. It wouldn't feel the same. At the same time I'm sure this is much more difficult for Kyle himself to do so as much as it makes me sad, I have to respect Kyle's decision. If you are reading this Kyle, I just want you to know that your content here at EZA has helped me get through different and difficult parts of my life. And I know it might not seem like it just by reading some words on a screen from across the world, but I truly appreciate that and I'm thankful for it. More than you might realize. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you might do in the future. Thank you for everything.

Part of me hopes for a future where betting specials will ask "Will Bosman reveal himself?" Whatever your main thing ends up being, I'm sure you'll be great at it! Thanks for all the laughs.

Hey Kyle. We only met once, at the year 2 celebration when I won the dumb game Monday games and gave you a hug upon receiving them. I hope everything turns out well for you. Sometimes you need to jump and take that risk. Good luck in wherever you end up going, and doing. Tony

Tony

Heart broken 🥺. But wish you the best 1000%. We will miss you dearly.

Chris Martinez

Gonna miss your presence a lot. It was the “Brandon Plays Pokemon” series that introduced me to EZA, and the E3 streams, betting specials, Hall of Greats, and EZA podcasts that made me a patron. You have been instrumental in the success of this group and your absence will be felt. Your work on Box Peek was inspiring and I’m grateful for the years you put into that project (I’ve got a Jordy T shirt which I really cherish). I hope you find your Main Thing and that it brings you as much joy as you have brought to the EZA community. Thank you for all of your dedication and time.

Benjamin Shultz

I am legitimately heart broken.

Thank you. 😀

Dang.. all the best to you Kyle in the future...Love and Respect my dude you shall be sorely missed !

When I first saw you on GT I thought to myself, who is this kid? Why are they giving the intern his own show? Oh, how wrong you have proved me. :) Leaving safety zones in search of a True Calling is never easy. I've done it a couple of times, and was chewed out by friends and family for my 'foolish' and 'selfish' decision to do so. But it worked out for me in the end, and I believe without a doubt that it will for you as well. Good luck, Kyle. You will always be an Ally. I wish you the best in whatever you do next. I just won't be able to forgive you for forcing me to get a Twitter account (or whatever you use as your primary form of communication with us Bosmanians). Live Long and Prosper.

Corrigall

I am extremely sad to see you go. But I wish you all the best and I really hope you find what you're looking for. I'm sure whatever you do next, it'll be great! L&R 4Life

Brandon Riddick

I can't bring myself to "like" this comment. In fact I'm trying not to sob on my phone...😭😭😭 the only thing I can say is I'm glad it's not a family crisis pushing you to take this step. Wherever the next phase of your life takes you remember you have loyal fans that will try anything with you once, even Austin Powers news and Pro Strats Only, so be sure to link back to us in Chat. Sure would have been nice to hug you at least once but I get it... We have plenty of audio footage to work you back into whatever (oops nevermind). Anyway best wishes and all the Love and all the Respect. 💚💚 Jessie Blu

JessieBlu

Even if we never met, it kinda feels as if my best friend is moving to a location without anyway to contact him again. I love all the allies, but Kyle, you and me we have the same kind of humor, and that I loved the most. I wish you all the best and that you find your "main thing" and will be happy with your decision. Take care.

I'm absolutely devastated over this news. I really do hope you land somewhere great and enjoy it as much as you have with EZA. You're always a part of that family, remember that and just like family I'm sure you'll be welcome back if you so please (right Brandon?). All the best to you, Kyle. You're a legend, don't forget that. Love & Respect always.

Stay Gold Kyle

I will keep an eye out for you and best wishes in my heart. I was happy to catch you for this 3 and a half year interval from when I found the allies. I hope you find the thing that is pulling at you right now. Enjoy the journey.

Thanks for honesty, Kyle. Your show was what got me into following Gametrailers and EZA won't be the same without you. I was actually just thought recently how amazingly gifted you are as a podcast host with your capacity to listen to the panel and make every interjection meaningful, nobody else can do that. Best of luck for the future, I hope you find something incredible on your journey!

Of course, this is the Finale, Bosman.

R.F. Switch

Dear mr. Bosman, Thank you so much for everything you have done for Easy Allies. It hurts to see you go but it shows just how much the community loves you. I especially love all the creative stuff you did ( creating a game-boy game, box-peek and segments like ginny’s cauldron) and I could imagine you pursuing a job where you are creating games. Good luck finding whatever it is you are looking for!

This is certainly hard to take after everything that's happened. Just 6 days ago one of my favorite Japanese teachers died unexpectedly, and I was hoping to one day come back and thank her for all her help once I had finished mastering the language. On a similar note, I had one day been hoping to meet you and thank you for all the great things you've done over the years (or at the very least finally ask a question on the podcast). You've been a constant source of joy since your debut at GameTrailers. When Final Bosman/Bosman at Home ended it was alright, since ultimately Kyle Bosman is even better and we still had him. But now that you're leaving, it seems there'll always be a hole at Easy Allies. Maybe they can get Jessica Lynn Verdi on as a permanent member? Either way, despite all of that, I understand and respect your decision to seek out your "main thing". And I always suspected you might be the first to leave the group so it's not completely a shock. Though I hope you won't disappear from the public eye forever after this. Perhaps I'm asking too much for that, but these are just my feelings man, can't change them. I wish you luck, Love & Respect.

Sure, this is tough news as an EZA fan, but this is awesome to hear as a fan of Kyle Bosman the person. I’m sure many of us currently feel the same way about our own lives, myself included, so if you have the energy to put yourself back out there, do it- It’s commendable to hear you’re following that voice inside your head instead of letting it pass you by. Loved the podcast, loved the streams, loved Box Peek, loved your Game Boy game, and I’m sure I’ll love whatever you do next (even if it’s something behind the scenes, or just simply some sweet sweet digimon). Thanks for all the bits, Kyle, and break some legs! L&R TAHK0

I recently left a comfortable position to expand my horizons and enter the unknown. I know it must not have been an easy decision to reach, and I respect it a lot. I hope you find something that gives you the fulfilment you're looking for, and that I get to enjoy your content again in whatever format it takes.

Kif

L&R Kyle. I hope you find what you are looking for. I also hope you bring back the Final Bosman... :)

danny betkowski

Keep being you, Kyle. Maybe will we see the revival of Final Bosman. Just kidding, but I secretly hope you do xD. It's gonna suck you not being around but I assumed this will happen eventually. Just didn't think it will happen so soon. It may seem scary right now, but you got this. KAZUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Moonshot Md

Good luck Kyle to wherever your path leads! You're a talent and I hope to see fun/big things from you in the future.

*standing on my barstool* o captain, my captain

bigdaddymars

Best of luck with everything, Kyle! You’ve had a big impact on me. The way you’re able to be yourself on camera has always been inspiring. I know what it’s like to need to go find your Main Thing. I’m coming out of university with my now second degree (Read: time has been spent lol) trying to find a job as an audio engineer in film and it’s been incredibly difficult. I’ve had to face the facts that I may have to get a random office job to pay the bills until I can transition over to my Main Thing. Such is life. I’m saying this because you having the courage to know that you need to move on and take big ole risk is kind of what I needed to read today in a odd way. It’s weirdly calming to know someone else is going through similar feelings of, “I need something in life that really fulfills me.” I think everyone here recognizes the courage it takes for you to do this and the community is behind you! So, I wish you the absolute best on your journey. Be patient and be kind with yourself. When that Main Thing shows itself, you’ll be ready for it! We’ll all miss you so much. Really. Your influence here has been massive and you’ll leave a big hole when you’re gone. Irreplaceable really... But... when it’s time, it’s time. Go out there and kill it, dude. Truly: Love and Respect.

Oh man, this is so sad but I guess it was gonna happen sooner or later... nothing lasts forever and it was only a matter of time before one of the allies has to move on for whatever reason. That said, I feel like you've been a part of my life for so long (while I haven't always been as invested in the Allies as I am now, I'm pretty sure I remember watching the first ever Final Bosman browsing GT all those years ago), and though I've never been able to travel to the states to meet you in person, I strangely feel like you have become a dear friend to me, and one who has helped me through many hard times. I guess all I can say is thank you so, so much for everything you've done for us for all these years and I do truly wish the best for you and hope you find what makes you happy because god knows you deserve it... but I can't lie, I am gonna miss the hell out of you, man... it's not gonna be the same without you ;_; Love, Respect, and Eternal Gratitude to you, Kyle.

Bynoe

I read the beginning thinking "whut? why!?" and then I read the french fries line and I felt like I understood. I hope you find what you are looking for. And thank you for all the french fries you've shared with us all with over these years.

Ah dang man, you were my favorite person at Easy Allies. Good luck wherever the winds take you.

Ryan Bloom

You're what got me into Game Trailers with the Final Bossman eventually finding love for the rest of the crew. It will be sad to see you go but I get it. Best of luck to your future endeavours Dark Prince of Nerd Media. You'll have nothing but love and respect no matter where you go from all of us.

I'm literally in tears. I know this comment will get lost in the void of people reacting to your departure, But I want to wish you only the best and look forward to your future endeavors. Kyle, you have an electric personality and have brought me so much joy over the years. You influenced and single handedly ignited a sincere interest in gaming news and journalism. I just want to thank you for everything.

Tiana Salazar

There are an endless amount of days that you've made better for me. I will truly miss that feeling but ultimately want what is best for you. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

God 2020 sucks. Thank you so fucking much Kyle. I started listening to the final Bosman back at GT and ever since then I’ve been hooked. Your energy, charisma, and controversial media takes always kept me coming back, kept me calm, and kept me laughing. I’m not sure if that can be replaced so I thank you for the years you’ve given. I hope you find this nebulous main thing and that you stop snacking on French Fries and have your full course. Love and respect to the Dark Prince of Nerd Media.

Thanks for dropping the bombs at the top of your post. I'm a newish patron and your solo streams have been a corner of my Friday nights for these past few months andI'll miss them, but you'll go and do grand things wherever that is. As someone who has spent the last year or so trying to decide if my main thing is really my Main Thing, I understand as much as a random stranger on the internet can say they do what you might be feeling. Good luck and godspeed, Kyle!

Truly the darkest timeline for the dark prince. In all honesty. There's no one as unique as you Bosman. I think every fan of Easy Allies and Gametrailers can agree on that. We love all the allies. But it is not a farfetch'd notion to agree a lot of us stay here for you. I will continue to support the allies and their lovely content. I look forward to your "Main Thing" L&R

Frisket

Can’t even begin to describe the vacuum that will be left behind after your departure. But I think I can speak for everyone when I say we wish only the very best for you Kyle. Love and respect always, hope you find your main thing, and all the happiness that comes with it. Regardless of where you end up, you’ll always have my support ☺️👍

You'll be back

Liquid Log Coloring

If all the allies knew of your departure for a while now why start Never Too Late to Dreamcast or Dreams Lovers? Just a few days ago the EXZ streaming schedule went up and you're listed in there multiple times! Leaving without a safety net or something to move in to is worrying and just as your 2 new projects are starting up feels like a really bizarre move. I hope everything is ok.

Deekman

Can't say I always loved your hot takes, but I always loved that you said them anyways. I'll be tuning in to your final casts for sure to keep hearing them. After that, I'll definitely miss you, Kyle. Hope the future holds all the best for you ❤️

Alex D

Unreal. All the best.... but damn! Ps5 announcement will be nothing without u. Best of luck. You should DEF 100% start streaming on your own when you get set on your path again! All the best Kyle! Gant Chartz 4 Lyfe!!!

Ian Patterson esquire.

so much love to you Kyle, take care of yourself and best of luck for the future You'll be missed but not forgotten

BigTurkey

Gonna miss you immensely, wishing you the best on finding your Main Thing. <3

rob

Man that came out of nowhere, what a blow. I obviously wish you all the best and hope that you can find your "main thing". You will definitely leave a huge void. Even if your shows get picked up, your kind of creativity and presence will be greatly missed.

David

Whether you like the sentiment or not L&R Bosman. Good luck on wherever the world takes you, and try not to worry too much, you're too talented and work too hard not succeed in whatever direction your journey takes you. I do have to ask though, why can't you continue to solo stream under the Easy Allies banner? Possibly other allies don't share my point of view but I don't see why you can't solo stream with Easy Allies even if you aren't involved with any other part of the production? Certainly if that's not direction you or the allies want to go in I respect it, but I just wonder why. Regardless god speed, and good luck. I eagerly await whatever the next chapter of your story brings.

Madison Graham

I wish you the best Kyle with whatever you decide to do!

Well, I say let's be positive, look ahead and make these final few EZA Bosman weeks the best french fries anyone has ever tasted!

Camian

Man, I'm just glad to have stumbled across you guys a couple years ago as it's sincerely helped to provide a nice focus and center in my life. Thanks for all of your output these past few years and know that myself and many others are pulling for you no matter what!

Adam Hentschel

Thank you Kyle! Not just for the past 4 years but before that at GT as well, been watching you guys for a long time and while I'm sad to see you go, I'm glad you're doing what's best for you and going out and finding you're thing in life. Good luck for you're future endeavors, I wish you the best

A Kyle shaped hole will be felt for a while I'm sure, but I'm still excited for the future of Easy Allies. This community loves you so much, so I'm sure we'll all support your decision (even if it'll initially sting) and can all be in agreement that with your talent your future is bright :) Good Luck!

Thanks for everything Bosman. Best of luck finding that main thing, we cant wait to see what it ends up being. L&R

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't heartbreaking. While I'm EZA for life, it's going to feel very different without you around. I'll just look forward to whatever you end up doing next. L&R

Kate Bishop

This hits hard. I hope to be able to follow you and enjoy your entertainment in the future. Your streams, quick wit and good vibes have always been a bright spot in my life. Best of luck Kyle!

Good luck finding your Main Thing, Kyle. I’ll miss you but I totally understand. Love and Respect ❤️

Rae the Doe

I really hope you find what's beyond the French fries. You'll do great, Kyle.

Spencer from Canada

Hey I am not sure if I have ever written a comment on any patreon post and have been a patreon since day one. I got into you guys as group due to being reccomended the mario tennis final bosman epsiode (lol) and then just became a huge fan of your guys work and was so ready to be a patreon when this all started up. I was a senior in high school then and have had a lot of rough times since then, but am close to finishing up my bachelors degree now. Through all of that I have watched you guys and especially you kyle probably almost every single day and I dont think you will ever understand what you have done for me as a person. I have always wanted to write you some type of letter how much I appreciate you as a creator and how unique and special I think your sense of humor is but I am kind of lazy and bad at writing any thing like this as you are probably seeing now. As sad as this is to see and how much this will honestly change my daily life, I have honestly been expecting it this whole time especially after box peekwhere you can see how great your writing ability is (and even your gameboy game which shows another level of talent you have) . I hope that doesnrt come off in a weird way, its just I knew if anyone was gonna leave it would be my favorite. I am happy for you though and know that you will find your way. Its funny when my computer broke my sophmore year of college I would go to the computer lab in my college which is just a basement in a nyc building so its all quite cramped and work for hours while I had the playthrough of that gamecube megaman rpg you played and was just so grateful to have something like that keep me company. I know easy allies will still be great with you gone, but you will forever be missed. Though I think this decesion is for the better for you and I am super happy for you to find your way

Polarseltzerlemon

Thank you for everything, Kyle. Best wishes and take care, brother.

DualOrange

Take care, Kyle. I'm sure you will find what you're looking for. I'm missing you already. Best wishes, L&R.

Oh, no! 😭😭 Much love to you, Kyle!

Matthias Mistlbacher

The EZA podcast has been a good vibes constant in some of my rockiest times these past few years. I know it will continue to be with the rest of the allies, but I also know it will be different without the Dark Prince trying to get under the panel's skin or come up with stupid little bits that are funny only in theory, but extremely hilarious when received poorly. I have so much respect for all the work you've put into the projects you've put out over the years, from the good to the bad. I hope we get to see your Main Thing sooner than later, but take all the time you need. Your unique voice will be greatly missed, but please don't be a stranger and come back as a guest from time to time when you're in town.

Steven Anthony Brown

Gutted on a personal level, BUT very excited for you to follow your heart. It takes big balls to do what you're doing now. You might leave EZA but your mark on this thing is unquestionable and will carry on for many years. All the best Kyle, love & respect!

Krauser_05

Ahahaha it's Friday the 13th

Mags Moratto

Kyle, you have been a hero of mine since the GT days. I'm devastated that you're leaving, But you have to do whats best for you, and I respect that. I'll 100% be looking forward to your future endeavors, and know that you have, and still will I'm sure, bring tons of joy to my life. Love and Respect.

Trey Thompson

I'm sorry to see you leaving EZA but I understand wanting to seek out your Main Thing. There won't be anyone that can fill the void you leave behind but your personal happiness is extremely important. We only get one shot at life so be sure to live it in a way that won't leave you with regrets. I'm sure your road will be challenging but if you aren't being challenged, you aren't growing. I hope you find your Main Thing and that it brings you much joy. L&R

2020 continues to suck Kyle, you were the reason I visited Gametrailers when you did The Final Bosman and you were definitely a huge part of why I follow Easy Allies. I'm gonna miss the hell out of you and I will continue to support EZA. Godspeed on whatever you plan to do after EZA, Dark Prince of Nerd Media ;_;7

Karl Williams

I've only ever commented like twice before but thank you so much for everything Kyle. Not gonna lie I teared up reading this as you are my favorite member of the Easy Allies...although any member leaving would have this big of an effect on me. It won't be the same without you here but that is okay. Whatever it is you do in the future we will be there to support you. Do what you have to do. On a personal note I know that when I left my job last year without anything lined up it was hard...although in my case I hated the work environment and my boss I'm sure for you it was a lot harder since it is something you love. But there is a feeling in your chest something that tells you that it is time to move on to something else...whatever that may be. And as I typed this all out I definitely cried. Best luck - Chris a big fan.

Chris

This is a tough one to read. Since 2013 I've really enjoyed your stuff, man. I'm gonna miss the hell out of your personality on the podcast and your presence on streams. With that said, I sympathize so much with wanting that Main Thing, and I think you owe it to yourself to seek it out. Please take the time you need to get to looking, and good luck. Love and Respect, always.

Sam Handrick

My heart's bleeding, Kyle. Love and respect always, good luck :(

Kyle I will leave you with a fun story, I watched box peek with a friend of mine, and then months later I was at a party, with a bunch of friends and one of them asked me if I had seen Boxpeek, lol basically it went full circle and came back around too me, they legit did not know about eza so I explained it to them and of course I said Bosman is my favorite, he is the one who made boxpeek, so if you like his humor seek him out. Anyway, where ever you go I am sure this is not the last time we will hear of Kyle Bosman. Good luck out there may you find happiness and love.

Kyle, It was you that brought me to this amazing group of personalities in the first place. Your first video, the PlayStation Do's & Dont's, set everything off for what we have now. I am truly at a loss right now. There's so much going on in the world, I can't even be mad at this. This is just so much to take in. I just hope you're happy. I wish you the best. Love & Respect

Joshua Turner

I love you Kyle Bosman.

In a way, the fact that you're still on a search to find the right use for all your passion is a sign of the fact that you are truly dedicated to expressing yourself. You will find the thing kyle, the fact that you need to leave EZA means there's no way your place in the world can escape you.

Mags Moratto

I hope we can continue to support and follow you in whatever adventures are ahead for you. Best of luck to you, Kyle, you will truly be missed!

Pulphead

Kyle, while I completely understand that you have your reasons and I will always support you in whatever you want to do with your life, this has brought me to tears. You have not only been my favourite member of this group, but my favourite online personality. I love nearly every thing I've seen from you and I believe that you will continue to do amazing work even if you think you will fail. I really do hope that you will keep us up to date with your goings-on, even if you hate twitter. You will forever be one of the Easy Allies to me, and I it's totally weird and probably inappropriate, I love you for all the joy you've brought to me over the past 6ish years that I've been devouring your stuff and also just for being you. I believe that I am a better person thanks to you, if even a little bit. Now I'm rambling because I'm caught up in it all. Love and respect for you Kyle.

Yui

Very upset to hear this. My first introduction to GT was the final bosman and met everyone else thanks to you. I hope you find happiness and success wherever life takes you next. May your creative talent shine. L&R

Daniel Murray

I'm honestly in a bit of a loss for words. But I wish you best of luck, Kyle, and I want to just say that amongst the people who's often got their days brightened by you and your efforts - I'm one of them.

irene035

Nothing but love, Kyle. You’re my favorite Ally, and I’m sad to see you go, but I fully support you doing what’s best for you. Take care of yourself, man. L&R.

So you’re telling me the allies knew you were leaving and Megaman Legends didn’t get into the hall of greats! All the best for the future Kyle, you just do you.

Kyle, you helped me find EZA, you helped me regain my creative energies and beyond because of the Gundam Streams. You are a remarkable talented, brilliant, funny individual and whatever your next moment might be along your path will be met with a beautiful and intense energy that only you can bring. Good luck, and may Fate bless you on your journey. Love and Respect.

This hurts boys. Proud of you Kyle, good luck with everything going forward. Will miss my weekly dose of podcast Kyle humour.

Oohh maaan! Thanks for years of entertainment and the best of times. For someone with this much social anxiety, I think you helped so many people to overlook their own. I hope you find, what you're looking for!

Obscho

I legit feel like a chunk of my heart just got ripped out. But you have to do what makes you happy. Good luck, Kyle. Achieve your dreams.

Corey Swafford

NOOOOOOOO. DUDE 2020 FUCKING SUCKS MAN.

Heru Muharrar

It's my birthday today. 😭🎉 Thank you for everything, Kyle. You made me think, you made me laugh, and you made me feel like I should be creating something too. This community will always support you. I hope you find your missing piece/peace. Love & Respect! ❤️

Brian "FriendlyMerlin" A.

This is definitely heartbreaking but I also completely understand wanting to branch out. I absolutely wish you the best of luck with it all! L&R

freeze

I don't mean this in a bad way but I always had a feeling that if anyone was going to leave the Allies you would be the first one. You always seemed like you wanted to aim for something bigger, even if that thing wasn't clear. Hate to see you go though, this frankly sucks to be honest, but I wish you the best on your future endeavours.

Olf Himself

I've typed out several different versions of a comment just now and nothing really seems to say exactly how this announcement makes me feel. I guess the main emotion is sadness, but it's honestly more than that. I've listened to every EZA Podcast, watched countless streams, videos, etc. and they mean so much me. I know these things aren't going away, but Kyle is a huge part of my enjoyment with EZA. The joy that this one person I've never talked to or met is kind of crazy to be honest. So many times where I'm having a bad day or week and Kyle's content cheers me up. Kyle if you read this comment, thank you, for real. I'm really going to miss seeing you with EZA and would support you with whatever you do next.

Blake York

Going to seriously miss you! I hope you find your Main Thing. Looking forward to see where you go next.

This is gonna hurt like a mf.. but I respect and applaud the decision, good luck Kyle, you continue to be a source of inspiration!

Frej Karlsson

Very sad to hear this but I understand. 2020 keeps on doling out the punches

Damn this feels just like when GT shut down. I've been following you for so long that I developed this kind of weird one-sided friendship with you because I feel like your humor communicated so well with mine and that is really rare for me to come across. Will be weird not hearing from you at least twice a week for a while. I just hope that you find peace in whatever you are looking for dude, honestly wish you the best. I think I speak for a big part of the EZA fanbase when I say that I will 1000000% support you in any way possible on your next big thing. And remember: you are insanely talented, don't sell yourself short when the time comes to make your big decisions. L&R.

Wow man this Sucks did not see this coming but you gotta do what you gotta do. Kyle I just want to take a moment to thank you for the amazing content you have produced, the great insight, humor, and giving everything the passion and love it deserves while always being yourself for Easy Allies and even back in the GT days. I wish you the best on your new journey and the best of luck wherever life takes you. LOVE AND RESPECT always. Steven S.

Steven Santiago

As much as I want to eco all the supportive comments I gotta be honest, IMO you could've been more "fiscally responsible" to what your exit means to the rest of the allies, having people cover your roles is not what people want, you could've (or still can) help them transition to a new type of show or new format for existing shows you take part of, specially if there is nothing lined up or time sensitive that pulls you away. We love you and the allies, but you could've handled this better. Brandon and CO have nothing to fear, EZA is a strong community, you have our support.

Wow the end of an era. I'm incredibly sad to hear you are going. I think of the EZA as a big family and I love you all. It won't be the same without you but I understand the need to find your big thing and I wish you the best Kyle. The podcast has been a mainstay in my life since the inception of EZA and before on GT, it will certainly be different without you hosting and devising crazy awesome new segments. Keep an eye on the allies and make sure you feed them a few Kyleisms every once in a while if they get too normal ;). Gonna miss you man but I wish you the best.

Wow.. Expected the band breakup at some point, but hey, 4 years was a good run. Thank you for the laughs over the years, in GT and at EZA.

Oliver Higgins

This is a bummer but kyle all the allies just want you to be happy and find your thing. L&R Kyle

Chun Lau

Utter shock!!! Kyle, your personality was the bridge for me to stop going to GameTrailers just for the trailers, and to actually pay attention to the people thar were GameTrailers.com. I regularly rewatch episodes of TFB. And through you, I've been privileged to embrace all the Allies. To you Sir, be safe, be healthy, find what you are looking for, but never forget what you've seen! May your passion drive you like the Wrath of Asura! I'm there day one for Twitch and any other public endeavors you make us privy. I'm a fan forever! L&R -Japanmanx3 P.S. Brad, Huber, Jones, Damiani, Ian, Ben, Sophie, and of course Don... Continue to carry the torch!

Bennett M. Gastin III

This is so sad but I appreciate you ripping the band aid off the right way at the start

Bdun912

Love you Kyle. I’ve grown up listening to you throughout the years and have truly been changed by you. Like everyone else, I’m sad to see you go, but I’m so thrilled to see what you will do. Even this past year seeing things like Box Peek and Don’t Call Me Mama was so inspiring to me that one person can do so much on their own. I’m so happy for you, and so glad you brought me into this community. Keep us updated on where you end up.

Damn, that stings a little... Thanks for all the fun times, Kyle! Hope you find exactly the Main Thing you're looking for. Love & Respect!

Oh wow. That's sudden. Unexpected. And incredibly sad. For us and me as part of this community this is something tough to take in, but I can't imagine how this must be for you. Thank you for all the laughes and good times you gave us, back at GT and lately at EZA. You were always one of the most crucial parts in this endeavour and I sincerely hope that you will accomplish and be sucessful with whatever it is that you are doing. We will miss you and I wish you all the best! Forever Love and Respect.

Pascal Kleine

Man. This feels like a punch in the gut. After hearing and avidly absorbing your content for well over a year...feels insane that one of the many personalities I grew to know and love will be leaving! BUT...best luck to you Kyle on your journey through life. After all that you’ve done over the years, you’re bound to find something for yourself. Good luck!

This is brutal news Kyle. You're such an integral part to the allies, as much as I love the other allies as well you're unique flavor was sorely missed on the podcast the few weeks you were gone. From the poor Australian accent you go in to some time to your opinions on how dumb the human brain is. I was bummed enough that almost everything I like doing for fun has been getting cancelled by Corona at the moment but this is the worst news yet. It honestly seemed like you had found your passion in this line of work, but I fully understand you wanting something more and I think you have the clout to make it work. Good luck out there and I think it's safe to say the allies will be there for you if you need some stability or want to return. Looking forward to what you do next.

Nathan25

Pretty new EZA fan and it's been a joy to watch you and your unique sense of humor and creativity. Best of luck with pursuing your Main Thing Kyle!

I'm really sorry to hear you're leaving, Kyle. The Final Bosman was what got me hooked on GT back in the day, and between Bosman V Wozniak, regular streams, and Box Peek, you've made some of my favourite things to watch over the past few years. While you'll be severely missed around these parts, I can't wait to see what you end up doing/making. I'm sure it will be every bit as weird and cool as the best of your work has always been.

Wow, that hit pretty hard, dude. I love all the stuff you did at GT and EZA, but I totally understand that people have to follow their hearts when it comes to decisions like this. I am certain that you will find what you are looking for and that this "risk" is worth taking. You are incredibly talented and you have been a major source of inspiration for my own creative endeavours. I wish you all the best and who knows, maybe we'll see more of your talent in one form or another, when the time is right. Godspeed!

I've always said to myself that Kyle is the reason I've followed Easy Allies for so long. During group streams, there's always that something missing until Kyle shows up. That something is intangible, it's hard to define, and it will be greatly missed at easy allies. Jones did a fine job hosting the podcast while you were away, but again something was missing during that time and it will be hard to fill that void. To me, the EZA podcast is what has set this group apart from many other similar outlets, and that has not happened by mistake. Kyle you should be damn proud of everything you've accomplished at Easy Allies, and nothing in the world can take that away from you. I'm really hopeful for your future Kyle! I hope that you find what it is you're looking for, and I'm looking forward to seeing you succeed in whatever you choose to do. Go find those 20 burgers to go along with those french fries. Tomorrow is forever all ours.

This breaks my heart, but I know it's for the best. You're ridiculously creative, funny, and talented, so I 'm sure that when you find your Main Thing it's going to be amazing! L&R

I'm speechless right now. I've come to grow to love all the allies, but Kyle you are the one who got me introduced to all the rest thanks to Final Bossman. I understand and respect your decision. I truly wish you the best in your next endeavor, and hope everything is okay with you and your family! I will continue to support you and the rest of the allies, but Kyle thank you for all you've done for me over the years. You have no idea how much you've impacted my life, and provided me so much entertainment over years. God bless you and your family!

strawhatninja

I feel gutted. But instead of selfishly turning inward and thinking only about what I'm losing, I will choose to be happy for Kyle, that he is following his heart. I look forward to following whatever thing you do next, Kyle.

Kyle I totally get why your doing what your doing and frankly you have probably inspired many like us with your willingness to change! My hope is you do become something you wanted to be and try till you get what your aiming for! God bless and hope to hear your takes on thing not to far from now.

Jonathan C. George

I'll miss you, dude. Best of luck finding your 'main thing', a search I have been more than familiar with lately. I can't wait to see what kind of new thing you pull off next. Take care of yourself, man.

AnActualSadTaco

Love and Respect Kyle. I wish you the best in your search for your Main Thing, and if you decide that french fries really are your Main Thing, we'll welcome you back with open arms.

Brandon Ray

This is the last news I wanted to hear but at the same time I'm happy you're leaving on your own accord to find something new and exciting. Kyle, thank you so much for everything. You're truly an inspiration and role model. What ever you do next, I hope you can use it to express your creativity, sense of humor, and weirdness. You have no idea how much we're going to miss you, but you DO know the community is just going to rib on you more from now on, but that just means we love you. Love & Respect

Very sad to see you go Kyle but also huge respect on being able to push yourself and not being afraid to progress forward in your life. Wherever you end up I wish you the best of luck and thanks for the hours of great content you've provided, thanks for everything!

Wow, I need to sit down.

Daniel Murray

Can we expect a chat with Ben Hanson of MinnMax about you leaving like Dan Rykert (Giant Bomb) and Mike Mahardy (Gamespot) did when they left? L&R Kyle. Good luck on your future endeavors.

David Sobiegraj

Love and Respect and Sadness. I wish you all the best.

This is insanely bittersweet, but I totally understand. We're gonna miss you, man. All of the love and respect in the world to you and your future endeavours.

Duncan

Take care of yourself Bossman, thank you for everything. <3

Royal Mudkip

honestly the worst news, i’ll miss you a lot. you feel like a friend i never met even if you don’t know i exist. i hope i can listen to you talk again in the near future via twitch or whatever avenue you choose.

sam

No, Kyle! Come back! We'll put Megaman Legends into the Hall of Greats! I promise! Seriously, all the best to you man. Thank you for the hundreds of hours and entertainment, insight, commentary, and good vibes. Good luck in your future endeavors. L&R

Andy Schreiner

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, Until we meet again.

Y. Win

I just can't fathom the Allies reacting to the PS5 without Kyle. This hurts, but I get it. All the best, Kyle.

Love and respect❤️

Oh wow. We're going to miss you, but we fully support your choices in life! Go for it, dude!

Ben Hanson

Ah EZA wont be the same Kyle. Hope it goes well with whatever you do next. L&R

Ryan Hegarty

“I always get to where I'm going by walking away from where I have been.” All the best, Kyle. Thank you for everything, and know that we are all cheering you on.

Woah, this hits like a truck. It's not easy to recognize when you want change, and I have to commend you for chasing the future you want for yourself. All the best Kyle, you've changed the lives of many with your particular brand of entertainment and I hope we as a community were able to make your time at EZA fun too! L&R

This feels like a friend moving away that you'll never see again

L&R Kyle ❤️

Spencer from Canada

The more I think over things the more I just can't come to terms with it. Thinking about things like the next gen coming out without him there with the Allies taking about it. No more weird and funny bits. Strange times are afoot.

Varun Kachhwaha

Thank you Kyle I have loved seeing your creativity and look forward to seeing what's next. I'm in with EZA for the long haul. Change is a part of life. Good luck to you!

TravelingSnowman

Woah... I. Woah. I love the Easy Allies, but it is genuinely hard to imagine you not filling my screen for the coming years. I've been your video goblin since The Final Bosman premiered. Whatever this path may entail, godspeed. All of my love, dude.

JLunaarS

We're gonna miss you here Kyle, but we'll always support you! You'll find your Main Thing. L&R

😥

I can't imagine the void you will be leaving in our lives since you bring so much joy to my days when I watch any stream you are on. You are truly an amazing person Kyle. I will miss you so much and I hope whatever you do next, we will be able to see you and not just behind the scenes. You are too great not to be out there. Good luck Kyle!

Hesperus84

I am destroyed. One of my favorite persons with all the funniest and existencial questions on a podcast is going from my favorite place of the internet. Is not easy to read this while watching the latest EZA Podcast episode. But I totally get your point. Take your time to think, chill and go pursuit your thing. We're all into that buddy, we'll probably never feel completed with what we had, but at least try to be satisfied with what you achieved. Trust me, you have potential for making good stuff, I'll miss your taste in making atypical and funny shows with a lot of good insights. In some other podcasts or shows outside EZA I'm feeling stressed or bored, with Kyle is just fun and insightful. Tomorrow is forever all ours pal!

Leo S. Luna

Damn. Not gonna lie, you’ve been my favourite Ally since day 1 so this really sucks. But I understand wanting to diversify and wish you all the best. Hopefully you still pop by once in a while

Logan Tawse

Who is taking over for coordinating bits?

PKFC

Thank you Kyle I have loved seeing your creativity and look forward to seeing what's next. I'm in with EZA for the long haul. Change is a part of life. Good luck to you!

TravelingSnowman

Kyle, I want to say that watching you grow as a person and an artist has been one of the great joys of the past few years. From The Final Bosman, to betting specials, to Box Peak, and everything in between, it's been a wild ride. Whenever you announced something new, I always found I had the same reaction: "that's not what I wanted from Kyle as a next project, but I think it's what I needed" :). You have a unique vision and voice, and I'm so grateful you shared it with this community. I understand the feeling of playing life on "easy mode", and needing to try hard mode to be happy. Whatever you do, to whatever degree it succeeds, I'm sure it'll be exactly what some folks need at that time. I wish you all the best luck and happiness, and with all sincerity: L&R

Neale Genereux

Gonna miss you dude. You're steams are always entertaining and you have a one of kind sense of humor. Good luck dude

Bossy, this seriously ruined my day. You were my favorite GT'er and EZA'er since the 1st time I saw The Final Bosman all those years back. I understand you might feel like you haven't figured out your life goal and I hope you find it. But I hope you also understand that not many people find a job in life that 1. they like doing in the 1st place and 2. simultaniously make thousands and thousands of people happy by doing that job. So I hope you thought this through enough and hope you'll be back someday.

Thank you for everything you've done. Best of luck to you where ever you go and what ever it is you find yourself doing. If possible, pop back in and give us an update. Interested in whatever it is you plan on doing.

Pet Rent is So Dumb

Well I guess it’s best to rip it off like a band aid before things get worse in the world. Sincerely sad and honestly even though I’ve only known about you guys for a year I have consumed as much Easy Allies content as I could in that time. Incredibly sad to hear this but I hope you know Kyle we want you to thrive and succeed in all your future endeavors. We love you Kyle!

Aww going to miss you, good luck though gotta do what makes you happy. Thanks for the last 4-6(gt) years.

Zan

You'll be sincerely missed, Kyle. Thank you for everything you've given me without even knowing it. Thank you for being my 'In' to GT with Final Bosman and the wonderful community of EZA and GT. My life would be different without them. I wish nothing but the best for you and cannot wait to see your work in the future, whatever it may be.

Todd Kremer

Good luck on your journey, wherever that takes you <3

... I am in shock. I have a lot of thoughts jumbled up, but I am just in shock right now. ...

Ian Alexander

I feel terrible because of how much of a loss this is to the allies. but I also understand and I wish you the best for what is to come. please drop by the stream and say hello from time to time?

Hmmm i guess....megaman legends will never be a great...good luck on your journey kyle. Stay healthy and don't get sniffed L&R Alex

Alex_AI

Kyle, you have to know that I love you. We all do. Thanks for being you and hope we see more of you soon.

Sherico dela Cruz

Woke up early for a warframe devstream, but instead I got feels. You will be dearly missed Kyle, best of luck with everything, L&R.

Selcinorhc

You’re gonna be missed, Kyle! Take care. ❤️

Best of luck Kyle! Been a fan since the GT days and excited for whatever opportunities await you in the future.

Secretly and selfishly I am hoping this leads to more Box Peek style projects but honestly no idea.

Cameron GIlbert

Thanks for all the content Kyle! Go do your thing man!

<3 I have such great admiration and respect for your honesty and confidence with your decision, Kyle. Although this makes all of us sad, I think I can speak for most of us when I say we just want you to be happy. Love ya Kyle.

navyblueprince

Very sad to see you go, you'll be missed. Good luck figuring out what your Main Thing is, I believe you'll do great and I hope to see you online again! Thank you for the amazing four years with Easy Allies, as much as I loved and missed GT, this was (and still is ofc) something special and really near and dear to my heart. Take care, L&R!

Monika

Best of luck Kyle. Hope you find what you're searching for.

Patrick

Best of luck, Kyle! I hope you find what you are looking for in the castle.

JHK

Love and Respect, Kyle! Thank you for the entertainment, laughs and memories. You are the reason I started following GT and later Easy Allies. You brought me much needed joy in times where there wasn’t much of it. I will never forget that and always appreciate it. I hope you find success and happiness in whatever it is you are looking for. You deserve it.

Lord Zedd

This truly does break my heart a little. I understand that feeling of wanting or needing more from your Main Thing™, but at the same time I just can't imagine EZA without you. Good luck in whatever endeavor you find yourself in, we'll miss you. L&R

JenkyFrankins

Daaaamn, you gonna drop that bomb on us, just like that huh? My man, you will be sorely missed. Thank you for all the amazing content. You've a brilliant mind with the right grasp on life. I look up to you, and this decision only solidifies that. Go find that Main Thing. We all get it. Hope to still catch you streaming time to time. Nothing but love brother.

Hope whatever it is that you do next it brings you the most happiness. Thank you for everything that you've done and inspiring so many in all walks of life. You will be missed and you will never be forgotten. Love and Respect.

Sara Knite

My heart sank a bit when I saw the headline. I don't post much but your podcast is the only thing I listen to immediately the second it is released. You always bring a smile to my face and make a long Friday brighter. Wishing you the absolute best in your future endeavors and if there is anything the community can do to support it let us know. L&R.

Brett C.

Good luck in your search for it Kyle. We'll miss you but know you are doing it because it is what you need. We will be here whenever you feel you found it. Take care :_(

Joan Centellas Jimenez

(I think this might be my first post here, despite being a patron since launch). I will really miss you, but sincerely hope you find your Main Thing! When GT shut down I almost couldn't believe it, I was in a very bad place and GT Time was kind of the highlight of my week. Since then, life has gotten a lot better, but my wife still knows that few things make me happier for the weekend than the prospect of a new episode of the Easy Allies Podcast. And it wont be the same without you. But you got to do you, and put your happiness first. All the best of luck to your future endeavours, and if you ever change your mind, I'm sure all of us fans would love to have you back. Love & respect

Uhhhhhhhh........ 😔

Well this is heartbreaking. Thank you for everything. I wish you the best on your future endeavors. L&R!

Thanks for everything, Kyle.

Noah Teuber

Aw man, it's gonna be tough not having you around Kyle, but I hope you find what you're looking for sooner rather than later in your future endeavors. Watching your stuff over the last few years whether it was just you or with the rest of the Allies has been a wonderful experience. Thanks for all the good times dude!

bout time you do something with your life! instaid of wasting all your time playing those damn video games! those things rot your brain!

What a gut punch. Feels like a good friend is moving away. If ever you decide to stream on your own I'm there day one. You will be missed, and you will absolutely crush whatever you do next. L&R.

Jon

I've been mostly a silent supporter of EZA for four years, but man this will get me talking. If you read this Kyle, please let me know the best way to send a cheesy thank you letter. Here, Twitter, Twitch chat?

Just want to say thank you for years of entertainment. I orginally got into Gametrailers when I stumbled upon a Final Bosman episode. I loved it so much that I went back to ep. 1 and watched them all. GT turned into EZA and learned to love all the Allies. Glad to have met you in person. Again, thank you!

This is gutting. But also, as someone who’s main problem in life is having no major passion, ambition or long term goal, I do think I get it. So good luck Kyle. I’ll probably look for you wherever you show up next. Because you’ll always be one of the Greats. Love and Respect.

Felippanda

Noooo 😭😭

it is of course really upsetting to hear that you're going and easy allies is never going to be the same without you, especially fiasconauts, but I understand you needing to find your own path. I sincerely hope you keep exploring and get there soon. Love and respect man , for real .

Gandheezy

Wish you the best, Kyle! I'm gonna miss your streams and art shows!

This was an emotional gut punch, but I completely understand. I went back to school for an entirely new bachelor's degree because I needed to find my "thing" so I know how hard that can be to step away from what's comfortable. I respect the hell out of you for realizing you needed to step away. I know that I'll miss all that you do for the Allies and the community, but I'll be sure to follow along with whatever you do next, even if it isn't gaming related. Thank you, Kyle.

Jeeze. That blows chunks, man. We're gonna miss you, Kyle. Nothing will feel the same without you. Good luck on your endeavors. Love and respect forever, man.

Heart breaking to hear. The Final Boseman introduced me to Game Trailers, and in turn to Easy Allies. I enjoyed the dynamic you shared with each of the allies I'll truly miss you. To this day when I'm sick or not feeling well my "chicken soup" is and always will be watching a Huber and Kyle Resident Evil stream. And if anyone has anything bad to say about your RE streams, "WE WON'T HEAR IT!" One of my favorite quotes, along with "pops the heads right off" and "white brains in a sea of red!"

Michael Baker

Disappointed to hear the news, but wish you all the best, Kyle. You have a real comedic talent.

Yup, sometimes you just have to make these hard calls to move on with life. I wish you find the right path Kyle and thank you for all the amazing stuff you did at EZA in the last 4 years. You probably don't even grasp the impact you have made on the industry.

Łukasz Wizła

I'll miss you on the streams and all your content. I hope the allies update us on what's happening with you in the future. Thank yiu for the years of podcasts from GT to Easy Allies times. Always help me get through my work day creating this or that game art asset. Good luck!

David Edgar

I’m speechless, devastated, it won’t be the same without you! I understand what you’re looking for and I hope you find it! Don’t stay away for too long!

MarsSpars

Thank you for everything Kyle, best wishes!

Kyle you've been a part of my life for so long it's gonna be weird not having you around anymore. I'm sad to see you go, but I truly wish you the best. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Aidan Vilchis

Finding myself in a similar situation, and sincerely wishing you all the best Kyle! Thanks for everything!

I'm sad to see you go, Kyle. I love all of the allies, but you ARE easy allies to me. I wish you all the best in whatever you end up doing. You're a talented and funny guy. It's a cruel world and it can beat down the best of us but I believe in you. I hope we still have the chance to see you from time to time. I disagree with probably half of your takes and you're somehow still my favorite voice in video games. If you ever miss us, just make an episode of final bosman and we will all come running.

You're what brought me to GameTrailers way back when with Final Bosman. It's been an absolute joy listening, watching, and experiencing all that you have brought to the Easy Allies community. Best of luck to you and don't be afraid to embrace the unknown. L&R

You'll be missed

Steven Sell

It burns to see this but you know yourself! I'll relish the next bit we have in streams and hope that you find your thing! Honestly, thank you for everything!! You really did help bring this community together and we won't forget it

Sad to see you go, but like you said, it's for the best. I am really happy to see you spread your wings and try something other than french fries :) I can only imagine what you are going through but I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors.

LWMedia

Sucks to hear that. But all the best mate, been around since 2006 on GT! Just keep us updated on twitter on your next thing, appreciate the message. L&R

MODEYV2

Good luck with everything Kyle, hate to see any of the allies go, but you do you.

SoulCaster

You and Huber are the ones that got me hooked to GT and then EZA and that's how I was introduced to the other allies. Do not have the words to express how much I'll miss you. Whatever I say will seem less. But, I hope you find success in whatever you pursue. And I hope I can be there to support you. Damn, not gonna lie, this really does suck. But, all the best, Kyle. Love and Respect.

Dileepan M

Damn this sucks. Still I wish you good luck finding your happiness, meaning, and full potential gig

Cameron GIlbert

Oh no, that’s bad news indeed, I’ll try not to be too depressed about it but damn! Thank you for everything. Since your very first final bossman to this, I was there and many people were because you have great talent. There is no need to be afraid of what’s next because you are amazing in what you do, for real.

Good Luck Kyle, You will be missed but I am happy that you are doing what is best for your own well being. Easy Allies will continue and so will you. Tomorrow is forever ours, L&R!

zk

Love and Respect, Kyle! Thank you so much for your time and effort!

Man oh man... I won't lie... this is a gut punch of an announcement. I honestly don't even know how to respond right now except to say I hope whatever it is you move on to is great and I wish you all the best.

Kyle -- I hope you find your main thing. We've never met or corresponded. But I've been watching you for so long, I truly mean this when I say it: You feel like a good friend. I wish you nothing but the best. Hope to see you again some day.

Daniel Ray

Wow I was not expecting this at all. But you have to do what's the best thing for you Kyle. I respect the hell out of that despite leaving something you loved and built from the ground up with the other allies. Best of luck to you in your next (hopefully main) thing. All the Love and Respect.

Wes Bates

I wish you the best Kyle, whatever your Main Thing is you will excel at it because you're an incredibly creative person. Have courage and patience and eventually everthing will work out for you, until next the time and thanks for everything!

Rick Riedel

Thank you for everything Kyle, you will be missed. Good luck with your next endeavors. L&R

Well this is absolutely gut wrenching, but know that we love you and we'll always be rooting for our dark prince of nerd media.

Gilmore Francisco

All the best Kyle ♡

Doug

That's weird and unexpected yet i expected it somehow lol

Sven Van Lathem

Best of luck Kyle. I'm sad to see you go, but I understand wanting to do something else and move on. I don't want to sound too weird or creepy, but you are an incredible talented and special person so I'm sure you will do just fine at whatever you do. I totally understand being anxious about what's next as I've been in that situation where I've been looking for a job for a while, but know that something will come along eventually.

Anthony Russo

God damn I knew something was about to happen. Just yesterday I had this horrible thought that a patreon like Easy Allies days were numbered given the nature of the group. Today you're leaving, absolutely bonkers. Wish you well Kyle you will be missed.

Kaleb

Went through some rough, personal times 2 and a half years ago and EZA helped me find joy and laughter throughout it. Especially your Friday night streams Kyle. Sometimes I even made it my excuse why I couldn't go out on a Friday night. As with everything in life, things change and while this news is genuinely heartbreaking, to find you is something everyone must do for themselves. So in the end I guess this means I'll have to start going out on Friday nights again. Well once the all clear is given in this crazy world we're in now. Best of luck Kyle and I'll definitely be checking you out when you do resurface!

Gabriel Velez

Devastated ,_ , hope you'll find ur Main Thing

ony

Best of Luck on the move and change! I really do hope you find that Main Thing - I’ve been eating broccoli for a long time now (working a job that is good for me and tastes ok, but definitely isn’t fun or fulfilling on its own) and am yearning to figure out my Main Things. Best of luck to us both I guess! I can say your contributions to EZA have been important to my entertainment and have definitely lifted my spirits when I’ve been down or lonely, so for that you will always have my appreciation and support. So long and thanks for all the fish Kyle! Cheers - Joe

Best of luck!!! Thanks for all your work at EZA (and GT). A lot of Podcasts have dropped off my feed over the years, but yours has always been there. Hope you find the Thing and that you love it!

Phil Cobley

I'm extremely saddened by this and it sounds like you're taking a tremendous risk that I would never have the courage to do myself, but I wish you the best of luck and hope you find the fulfillment you're seeking.

Nicholas Poer

Wow gut punch. Good luck man we'll be here no matter what

I truly did not see this coming, but I respect your decision. As a creative person myself, I understand the need find your Main Thing, and to avoid eating too many french fries. Still, I will miss all of the things you do for EZA. You have a truly unique and weird voice, and it will leave a Kyle-shaped hole in the community that no one could ever fill.

Brian Denu

We’ll miss you man. Hope you find your thing.

I feel like I've been kicked in the balls :(

Now who will get Mega Man Legends into the Hall of Greats? :(

This hurts but I’m proud of you Kyle, here’s to what’s next L&R

Gladiuswingzero

Best of luck Kyle. Thank you for always putting in that 110% into your work here at EZA.

This is heartbreaking. You were the reason I fell in love with the Easy Allies, and you have made some of the best content out there. The podcast just won't feel the same without you. At the same time, I fully understand wanting change. We'll miss you Kyle, but wish you the absolute best with everything in future.

swarmingbats

Totally respect your decision and your desire to figure out your Main Thing. I get that 100%. It goes without saying, but you will be sorely missed at Easy Allies. Your insight and perspective on the industry and games—but more importantly and uniquely, your perspective on humankind—is an invaluable trait. I hope you find what you're looking for man. Take care.

FatherCashew

Just feel like I’ve gotta say, Kyle is significantly the funniest person in games media. When I’m not following gaming news I’m pretty much listening to Comedy Bang Bang and maybe it’s Kyle’s time at UCB but he makes me laugh just as much, which is something I can’t say about anyone else in the industry. I don’t know if your “Main Thing” is in games or comedy but as an audience member I’d love it to work for both. Fun fact, I actually decided to go back to school and study games because of Kyle. I was a comedy writer for TV despite always knowing that I liked games more, as absurd as this may sound Kyle’s comedy on EZA was a serious motivator in my difficult decision to pursue comedy in games and pivot away from traditional media. I guess it was me finding my own “Main Thing.” Good luck to whatever’s next, I hope it’s something I’ll get to see.

Cannonball_Jones

It's gonna be weird not having Bosman in my life, been watching him since the PS4 Dos and Don'ts back in 2013. You're loved and will be missed, Kyle

Richard Godsil

You're one of the best voices in gaming. Thank you for always making things incredibly entertaining. You'll definitely be missed, best of luck moving forward!

Good luck man! Thanks for everything!

Best of luck Kyle. You were the reason I started watching Gametrailers videos.

Oriol Siurana

Damn that’s a shame but good luck with whatever you do. We’ll be missing you on the usual streams man.

Kyle, you are the best. I’m very happy for you, but I’m also very sad! I hope you know how many people care about you and will follow you anywhere, no matter what you’re doing. Best of luck with your next big thing- I know it’ll be amazing :)

Jeremy Pick

Oh no. I hate to see you go Bosman. I certainly hope that you find what you're looking for! Easy Allies won't be the same without you.

Bradley Allen

Whoa! Best of luck Kyle. We love you!

umryan

Jesus Christ, what a blow. Best of luck Kyle, you are extremely talented and should never stop progressing. EZA will miss you greatly, the podcast and shows will never be the same. Make regular appearances please!Good luck. You’re going to create something great.

Umm. Same on everything! Even the living in Austria part. :O Really shitty day...

Noooooo :( Devastating news... Good luck in your future endeavors, you’ll be missed.

Massive respect for you for making this move. Go get your Main Thing!

Best of luck Kyle, you seem like a great person with lots of talent. L&R

Me bosman, your enthusiasm and excitement and passion helped cultivate my love for gaming 5 years ago, and your candor and honest openness helped me overcome my own limitations and reservations about who I am and can be as a person. I hope, in whatever you do, know what all you’ve done for the members of this community. You’re fantastic, and I thank you.

PrescottMatthews

I only started watching Easy Allies last year. In that short amount of time, Kyle not only became my favorite Ally but easily one of my favorite games media personalities. I appreciate everything you have done for EZA and the industry as a whole. Good luck and you will be missed. L&R

Abdullah

Truly, and I mean truly, thank you for everything. I sincerely wish you the best for whatever comes your way. Thank you.

Love you, Kyle. After you leave EZA, we'll be patiently waiting to hear back from you. Also, have Sofi do the garbage duties. She can do it!

Whuaha

Everything that has happened this year.. this is by far the most devastating. I'm going to miss you Kyle, so much. Damn. Really gonna miss you.

Mellow Felloh

Best of luck getting your main thing. I stay with EZA after GT because of you. Hope to see news about you soon! L&R

Gabriel Indriago

Good luck and all the best Kyle, hope you'll still be doing VGAs with Jeff ❤️ L&R!

Sad to see you go. You bring something special to EZA and will be missed.

Psytrese

This is a huge blow. Super sad to see you go Kyle but I'm excited to see where you arrive. L&R you'll forever be appreciated by this community

ForeverYeung

You're of the reasons I got into watching a lot of GT content back in the day. Technically you were the one that got me attached to the Easy Allies during your first E3 coverage. With all the Love and Respect in the world, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. You will be missed fellow ally.

Kristen G. Rosario

Much love. Wishing you luck on finding your main dish.

Cameron Burnside

This would have happened eventually, but still heartbreaking.

Pixillated

Kyle you are someone I've always looked up to and found a kindred soul in. I'm really proud of you for being forthcoming and setting your goals high. Best of luck and you better believe I'll follow you wherever you go and support the Allies as well! Love and respect, brother.

Thank you for the good times Kyle. Gonna miss you man

Dale Payne

Wow...honestly this is sad you were such an amazing and creative talent at EZA and I will miss you dearly Kyle..but I’m supporting your decision, you have to do what best for you and if that means finding a new path in life then it’s what you have to do..😭♥️

Megan Linart

You will be missed!

I’ll always be a fan of whatever you do dude! Good luck

Grazooka

Best of luck Kyle, hope you find your Main Thing! ❤️ You will be missed.

Liana

Hope you find your Main Thing quicker than you plan and everything works out. Kyle you’ve always made us laugh and given us so much entertainment. I hope the best for you man, good luck!

Keane

Very sad news. You'll be missed. Best of luck. L&R.

Wishing you all the best Kyle. We’ll all miss you terribly.

Michelle Jackson

Good luck brother

William JV

Sad to read, but the fries analogy really resonates with me. Good on you for having the courage to leave a good gig to pursue more. Super going to miss your content though.

I am sad to see you go, but I wish you all the best and thank you for a wonderful through gametrailers and Easy Allies! All the best buddy and greetings from Ireland!

Project D.A.D.

Best of luck, Kyle. You've been a very, VERY bright spot in a dark, dark world. The world is better with you in it, and whatever's next for you will be great because of you. I wish you the best of luck! Love and respect, over the moon and back.

Input One

I'll miss you, dude. Labo Vehicle Kit was one of my favorite memories on the internet. Until we meet again... L&R

Sr101

Bummer. Best of luck and come back to visit soon. We'll miss you here. L&R

Anthony Scibelli

Fuck 2020. That's all i'm saying.

André Roda

Dang. Heartbreaking dude. Best luck in the future Kyle. L&R

Damn. What a year so far. 2020 just started, a new decade. It's too soon...

Andreas Kleanthous

This came out of nowhere. I'm devastated, can't really put to words what I feel. Easy Allies won't be the same ever again. It was good knowing you, hope you find what you're truly looking for.

Varun Kachhwaha

Heartbreaking but I understand. Love you. You’ve been a huge inspiration for so long.

See You When I Get There

Big moves Kyle. I’ll miss you. L&R and may tomorrow forever be all yours

Frankie

Kyle, I will miss you, but I wish you the best of luck and happiness ahead.

Robert I.

The beginning of the end. Love and Respect.

Josh Bossie

Damn, sad to see you go, Kyle. Good luck with your future ventures, hope all is well!

SmashingSuccess

So this is truly then The Final Bosman. You’ll be missed amigo.

Well damn, my day was off to a good start. Bummer to see you go, good luck wherever it leads you.

Wow. That really stinks but good luck finding your Main Thing.

Douglas Chomicz

Love you Kyle and whatever it is that comes your way I'll be there to support you.

Mylène Laperle Vanasse

I am seriously gasping for air. Kyle is my favorite Ally BY FAR. EZA will never be the same for me again. Man, this day already started terrible. I'm living in Austria and they are shutting everything down because of the Corona Virus. I knew that I still have EZA Podcasts with my favorite host, and now that's gone. It breaks my heart. But I wish you all the best Kyle. You are the best.

Currently watching the VOD of last night's Dreams stream when I see this. Gutted.

We love you Kyle! We support you in all of life’s journeys. Of course you will be missed from EZA but nobody wants you to feel unsatisfied with life. Hope you find what you’re looking for. L&R

Wow, I'm shocked. Wel all the best

Kyle, I will seriously miss you. I know the community loves your antics (I think!??) and I genuinely wish you the best.
