""Today I'm announcing I will no longer be making Gaming Historian videos. There's nothing dramatic behind it, I promise.""
""I assumed that after a few months I'd get the itch again and make new videos. All the while, to my surprise, that itch to make a new video never really came back... My heart just wasn't in it.""
""If I continued to force it, I feared my output would not meet the kind of standards I've become known for.""
""The Gaming Historian channel made its debut back in 2008, chronicling retro gaming foibles, but aiming for more ambitious, first-hand sourced approaches to research as the project grew.""
Norman Caruso, known as the Gaming Historian, is stepping back from video creation after 15 years. Despite having over a million subscribers and producing in-depth content on gaming history, he experienced burnout. Caruso felt tapped out after his last video on the Oregon Trail in 2024 and struggled to maintain the quality he is known for. He considered continuing part-time but ultimately decided against it, fearing his output would not meet his standards. In his farewell video, he revisits the 1984 lawsuit between Nintendo and Universal Studios.
