Thomas Game Docs

Thomas (born ), better known online as Thomas Game Docs, is an English YouTuber dedicated to relating the lesser-known parts of gaming history. Her videos mainly focus on Nintendo; however, she has been known other companies, such as EA and Microsoft. 
==Channel Development== 
After creating the channel in 2018, Thomas began by making videos about the development of certain video games- such as Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart and Splatoon; however, she also made videos about less known games- such as Professor Layton, Cuphead and Snipperclips. There was no regularity with the release of these videos, however, and as of Jan. 1st 2021, few of these videos have received more than 100K views. The most viewed video of that era was 'How was Splatoon created?', which has received over 1 million views as of 1st Jan. 2020. 
In the second year of its existence, there began to be a noticeable shift in the content of the channel. The videos moved away from specific design processes and moved towards singular events in gaming history. Some would detail the development of specific games; however, each video would be worded uniquely, often featuring capitalized words in the title, as apposed to the 'How ____ was created' outline that had been used before. These videos would often also be embellished with copious amounts of background information. Generally speaking, they were considered relevant and informative, with the exception of a video released on 6th September 2019 titled: 'The Fake Nintendo Tweet that Tricked a US Politician', which was criticized for being too off-topic to the point of the video. 
Around late 2019, her videos began to be less about Nintendo games themself and more about the Science and key ideas behind them, or more commonly the strange things that happened with them in the outside world.
In late December 2023, she came out as transgender woman, updating her pronouns on X, formerly known as Twitter, to she/her instead of he/they, but later announced to keep the name Thomas and Thomas Game Docs for YouTube.
In mid-2020, Thomas announced that her channel had reached 200,000 subscribers and thanked them in a post on her YouTube story. Her Patreon channel was also launched in mid-2020, in an effort to earn enough money for her to be able to make YouTube her full-time job ever since she had finished full-time education earlier that year, and as of Jan. 1st 2021 (according to Patreon) she earns £127/month from it. Users can join her Patreon for £1.99/month in order to gain an exclusive Discord role in her server.
