The German YouTubers Rocket Beans announced on their website that they have parted ways with one of the members.
Whom are the Rocket Beans separating from? The Rocket Beans are a group of German YouTubers who founded their YouTube channel Rocket Beans TV in 2012. The founders were Daniel Budiman, Nils Bomhoff, Etienne Gardé, Arno Heinisch, and Simon Krätschmer. The YouTube group has now officially parted ways with Simon Krätschmer, as they announced in a blog post.
It is said that Simon Krätschmer will leave Rocket Beans TV both as an employee and as a partner
. Both sides have agreed to the separation and only formal steps remain to be completed.
The Rocket Beans do not provide a reason for the separation. They state that there is no interest in discussing it further and appeal to the community to respect this and not to ask further questions. They then express a few words of appreciation for Simon:
What has not changed is our appreciation for Simon. He significantly shaped and contributed to Rocket Beans TV and everything that preceded it, and the fact that our paths are now diverging does not change that. Simon is and remains an important part of the history of the Rocket Beans and we wish him all the best.

Rocket Beans have had difficulties for a while
What was the situation like before? In their blog post, the Rocket Beans also mention that they had been undergoing this process legally for a year. Most recently, they spoke up in September 2025 on their website. At that time, an internal process
was mentioned, and the reasons were not further discussed here.
The process was not the only difficulty the Rocket Beans had to deal with in recent months. For example, the long-standing format Game Two
was not further extended by the public broadcasters.
Additionally, Rocket Beans TV had to cut some staff positions just in time for their 10th anniversary with the aim of becoming economically more efficient.
However, Game Two is already back, albeit in a different form: A new group within the organization has formed to bring their content to YouTube. The first video was very well received by the community last year. Since then, about 1–2 videos have followed each week.
