Some friend of his claimed that Kyle and James had "differences" regarding the show's income.
That, plus Kyle grew embarrassed over being so attached to the AVGN theme, hence why we haven't seen him play it since 2013, even though he was part of the show as late as 2016.
He's got his own renovating business now, and I think Screenwave have started minimising the use of the song so they can pay as little royalties as possible.
Old school Monster Madness is still one of my favorite shows ever. I'm going to assume that he went ahead and has since recut those old episodes in order to take away the copyright infringing aspects of it.
He replaced the footage with still images, but all of his actual commentary is unchanged
Even the ones on Cinemassacre.com?
No. Those are the same but some are really shitty quality compared to the random russian subbed ones on yt.

It definitely explains all the CGI and green screen but no real props used for AVGN like the MegaMan video.
