So there's a hashtag named "thank you Scott" and it's mostly just sad posting by Fnaf fans.

It's still pretty crazy to me how people hate this man for one little thing, it's pretty ridiculous but I don't know why I expected better from them.
Anyways I feel like it wasn't too needed for him to leave the franchises a whole but to be fair people were starting to roll his family into this and he's been kinda hands-off as late letting game developers and stuff make Fnaf games of their own (Help wanted, Ar, etc) I think he might just be weathering the storm and not fully leaving.
Or he is fully retiring and that's kinda sad but Fnaf has become a mess so maybe it's for the best (at least for him) after all he's always said that he liked Fnaf as a trilogy and it honestly works pretty good that way.
Either way, I just hope the Fangame project (Fnaf expanded universe or whatever it was named) doesn't get canceled as well cuz there are some good fan games out there that I would love to see expanded upon.
To end this off you can say what you want about his games n' stuff but man was a nice/cool guy and I don't really know how to feel about him leaving Fnaf, the games all had a certain style/feel and it will just feel bizarre if it's fully headed by Steel wool or something.
