TheDroyds

TheDroyds is a Brazilian gameplay channel that made videos focused mainly on Minecraft, Garry's Mod and Zoo Tycoon 2. The channel is best known for its Zoo Tycoon 2 series, because of its unique video style that allows subscribers to participate writing names of animals they would like to see in the comments. Sometimes the channel posted videos of Minecraft animations made in Mine Imator software, including one that served for the channel's trailer. The channel also had several inconveniences that happened to the owners in their personal lives, which made it difficult for them to post videos often. After 2018, the channel stopped posting videos, without any response or explanation from the admins, with their last video being a gameplay footage of Zoo Tycoon 2. The channel's owners were only called by their nicknames, IShowDroyd (often referred to just as Droyd) and CyberDroyd (often referred to just as Cyber).
==History==
The channel was subscribed on Nov. 2012, and started posting videos playing Minecraft and sometimes a few different games. At that time the channel was managed only by IShowDroyd. 
In 2013 the first Zoo Tycoon 2 videos were posted, which attracted a slightly larger number of subscribers because of the creator's idea of ​​putting animals proposed by people in the comments in the zoo, in that period the channel posted its best-known video called "[Zoo Tycoon 2] Pedidos #3 O Recomeço", which gained 86,194 views and 562 likes. At this time a special Garry's Mod video of 100 subscribers was also posted, in which CyberDroyd, the second owner of the channel, was introduced.
After the 100 subscribers special, Cyber participated in the other Garry's Mod gameplays until 2014, when the channel returned to making Minecraft gameplays after he managed to buy the game. Cyber ​​also participated in the Zoo Tycoon 2 videos, which he was on call with Droyd. At that time, Droyd and Cyber ​​invited two more people to participate in the gameplay videos as guests, they were Angelica (Droyd's cousin) and Alan (a Cyber's friend) and the four chose to form the "main group" of the channel, but still keeping only Droyd and Cyber ​​as the owners. This was the channel's routine until 2016, when several disagreements arose and caused the channel to decline in video submissions.
In 2016 Droyd made a video titled "TheDroyds Retorna" in which he explains about the problems he and the Droyds (the group's name) went through, according to him Cyber ​​stopped contacting him because he was having problems with internet and computer, he also mentioned that now he would only post videos just as a "hobby" because he lost hope of the channel growing. In this video he mentioned a person who was not part of the group that would help him with the channel along with Alan (the only one besides Droyd who remained active), but this person was never seen in any of the videos posted later.
As of 2017, IshowDroyd has held the channel alone for 3 years, playing a few different games and starting a series of Spore, in which he makes creatures that people wrote in the comments, similar to the Zoo Tycoon 2 series. The channel then stopped posting videos, with "[ZOO TYCOON 2] FILHOTES DE DINOSSAURO!!! Os Passos do Indominus #1" being the most recent post to date.
