What Happened To Sam Hogan?

What happened to Sam Hogan. He was at the height of his career when he vanished and left many wondering where he had gone. Today I took a look into his rise, peak, disappearance, and what he's doing now.
This video took over 20hrs to make so if you did enjoy I would appreciate it so much if you could subscribe.
Other than that, Hope you enjoy!

Sounds like he really took it with grace, a lot of people become trapped in their virality and end up pushing themselves to make content they don't like to keep up with the demands, I think it was really mature of to just say "I don't like doing what I got viral for anymore, so I won't keep making content," rather than pushing himself to do stuff he didn't like, or trying to make other content and then getting disappointed when its not as popular as the stuff he got famous for. I always liked his content and he seems like a good guy, and while no one owes the internet an explanation, I'm glad it is just a shift in interests instead of him being hurt or something else horrible.

I used to watch Sam's video. It was both educational and fun to watch, so when I saw this video's thumbnail, I thought some tragic thing had happened to him... Thankfully, it wasn't the case.

My favorite part is that when people disappear from youtube everyone always jumps to the extremes "They died" "They quit youtube" "They got hacked" When the real reason is almost always just "I lost motivation, i may come back in the future but honestly I have no idea"

what he did is hard imagine quitting at your peak duration, most of us would want cash in in the attention but just because he is not interested he leaves, personally I would not have been able to do that if I was in his position, btw great video

Yeah it takes alot of nerve to do what he did! Thanks really appreciate it!

[@itscorn3124]

Just try to look out for how to make a video game and you will understand Remember he is making Minecraft without blocks Not Mario

[@LuckyBird551]

I found Sam's channel when it was already in its long hiatus. Binge watched the videos, downloaded and played all the Game Jam games he made, and loved them. Of all the game makers I saw on KZbin, he was probably one of the most creative ones when it came to game mechanic ideas. I hope he sometime comes back, but if he doesn't, well, I just wish him well.

Sam Hogan is the person who sparked that one brain cell in my mind that i had and made it split in half (which now i see was not the right choice) but made me interested in more in game dev, and Shaking Clover your videos seem great and it seems when this video was made you only have 200 subs, look at you now with multiplying those subs by 25x, keep up the good work and i hope to see you move on till the future and not stop if possible even if times are tuff
