    No the dude did, and basically said in his final video that it was because of the lawsuits

      I don’t think that is true. In his final video (Source, trigger warning of course) he mentioned his failing health, chronic pain and a perceived betrayal by the speedrunning community. Not a word about the lawsuits in there.

        I could be misremembering as I haven’t watched anything about it in a long while, maybe it was in a post? He kind of alluded to recent things caused financial hardships and with his health issues he couldn’t continue? I’ll have to watch the video again

        Edit - You were right, he said he had some financial hardships and health issues. Billy ultimately got no money from him, but I don’t think it’s a far leap to suggest lawyers fees may have been part of that hardship
