Too easy, man.
Aaron Wilson
Gabriel Martinez
Remember when they just stuck to halo machinima for fun?
Brayden Sanders
Despite making up 13% of the staff, the layoffs make up 50 of the employees.
Isaiah Rivera
oh no, podcast channel might have 1 less podcast.
Christian Ortiz
Only good thing to come out of them in years is Nomad. Not really a wonder why they losing money.
Hudson Lewis
Oh, is that what that user was referring to?I thought it was some RT specific joke.
David Baker
I hope it's Gavin.
Joshua Scott
Doesn't he have an actual job outside of RT?
John Smith
Despite appearing to be a fake screencap based on that meme, it actually is a real article.

Cameron Harris
Gavin is their closest thing to media legitimacy, they'll never get rid of him
Julian Sanders
Andy Blanchard and former ScrewAttack's "Nervous" Nick Cramer are confirmed out so far. I thought it would entirely be no-names who don't appear in videos, but it looks like it might be open season on more known names.
David Reed
Bruce knew
Sebastian Collins
I have heard of neither of those people.
Nathaniel Sanders
His YouTube channel which gets millions of views per vid. I'm sure that brings in some extra dough.
Owen Foster
I used to follow ScrewAttack back in like 2011-2012 so I know Nick, and Andy popped up sometimes in Achievement Hunter and On the Spot. He lived with Michael and Lindsay, though I'm not sure if he still does. Probably not with two babies in the house.
Isaiah Barnes
I guarantee most of Yea Forums isn't gonna get this
Daniel Cruz
Will this affect Camp Camp?
Asher Davis
Probably not, at least in terms of writers and VAs.
Carter Edwards
Been saying it from the beginning. Bruce is going to start is own IG/FH when rooster teeth shutters
Zachary Flores
>Andy Blanchard
thank fuck
Joseph Garcia
The most shocking part of this whole thing to me is learning that they had so many employees.
Cooper Martin
>RWBY will be kill soon
Hazbin Hotel is next
Tyler Perry
If it comes to that, they'll probably just sell RWBY to someone else.
Levi Sanders
>>RWBY will be kill soon
RWBY seems like it brings in a lot of money so I doubt it.
John Cruz
RT's core is RvB, RWBY, and Achievement Hunter. They're pretty much the only things definitely safe no matter what.
Jack Jackson
Except the announcements of DC's cuts tomorrow.
Benjamin Jackson
what is 13 but also 50?
Henry Collins
this has nothing to do with Yea Forums but i hope funhaus isnt kill
Benjamin Gutierrez
You sell your soul to the Devil and eventually he comes a' knocking.
Alexander Smith
>WarnerMedia
THEY SHOULD'VE LET LOBO WON, THIS COULD'VE BEEN SOLVED IF BEN TOOK THE MONEY
Christopher Butler
bruce left last week, supposedly on his own accord, so let that decide it for you.
Jaxon Gonzalez
>Thinking RWBY is safe.
user the entire problem with RWBY is that RT pretty much alienated anyone who cared after Monty died and corp'd it the fuck up. They've been wanting to axe it for ages because it's just a cash cow to them.
Gen:Lock is the one they give a shit about.
Jose Myers
the moment james leaves is the moment funhaus dies
Josiah Green
Unironically hope this doesn't mean Nomad of Nowhere is cancelled, love that show.
Jaxon Brown
On a sabbatical, he even uploaded a video to his channel.
Dylan Evans
Emphasis on "cash cow", it's likely their biggest moneymaker. Getting rid of it would be suicidal.
Wyatt Bell
what fucking rock have you been living under
sabbatical was over the month prior. FH released a video just after that where they talk to bruce about bruce leaving FH after the sabbatical.
Austin Perez
>moviesperg
You do know your shitty video game Fakime is well... shit
Cooper Martinez
When Warnermedia will move against DC Comics?
Gavin Roberts
>what fucking rock have you been living under
I didn't have a computer for like four months and I don't keep up with Rooster Teeth very often, what happened, user?
Jonathan Hall
creator was booted and took any chance of the show being continued with them
Jason Taylor
What are the chances that RWBY will be integrated into DC Universe?
Levi Smith
God damn it, that was the only modern RT shit I liked.
Brandon Johnson
>Nick
Ouch
Should've stayed on Death Battle
Lucas Roberts
Don't worry bro, at least you have the TF2 comic to look forward to
Joseph Richardson
They had over 350 employees?
Blake Reyes
>Gen:Lock
That’s more Fakime than Meta Runner
Angel Wright
That's a fucking low blow, user.
James Johnson
Bruce was the guy running Funhaus. If he left because he didn't like the direction they were heading the other Funhausers will probably follow.
Levi Peterson
But will we get it before the year's end?
Mason Martin
Gen:Lock costs more to make than RWBY with its cast, and makes significantly less money. Do you know how business works?
Luis Phillips
Rooster Teeth has adapted before, they survived the Machinima purge and the IGN assault, to anyone wishing "Yes finally RT is done, end of an era", this probably means just heavy restructuring, more anime sponsorships, and weird corporate fusions, so most likely we'll get more content on a different website or WB puts RT content on VRV or DC streaming. Or most likely this just means more room to hire more people who got laid off by the invisible algorithm so get ready for RT to buy more niche youtubers like Frederator, Matt McMuscles and 33LRock
Hunter Taylor
>Matt joining RT when Woolie and Pat are already joining it
That can only go well.
Joshua Williams
Technically back in December 2018 when they cut 3% of staff (seven people, split as three VP's and their staff).
And again last month when they closed Mad Magazine (another 3% of staff).
More is probably coming, especially since that investor group is pissed at AT&T for buying WB and is threatening them.
Luis Sanders
wait that's a thing? I thought it was a meme like AngryJoe being a Disney Mascot or Jon CJG being part of Rooster Teeth?
Oliver Reyes
I wonder if he wanted a career change anyway and knew that there could be layoffs on the horizon so spared someone else from FH taking the hit. They've crammed fucking Alanah into everything so she is basically essential now, as is Elyse because woman, so he could be saving the job of one of his bros.
Ryan Reyes
*record scratch
Asher Collins
>WB puts RT content on VRV
Pretty sure this already happened
Brandon Thompson
Getting into business disagreements have always been a great way to end a friendship.

Dominic Martinez
>Them joining Rooster Teeth was just a way to find an excuse to disband the Best Friends and replace Cow Chop.
Also did you know, Cow Chop and JT Machinima make a lot of merch sale, they take up like the top 2 rows of "Best Seller". Neat
Cooper Long
Wow, only being a Funhaus guy, I just heard of Vicious Circle for the first time.
At first I thought, "looks kinda fun but doubt I'd really pay for it" - then I saw the battlepass shit. LOL. Who thought that would be a good idea?
Kayden Morris
user that's just a dick move
Luis Hernandez
>nervous nick is out
Damn. I liked him
Carter Cruz
They actually pushed for an MK match this season which is why we got Cage vs Falcon
Nicholas Miller
He might come to Game Attack.
Easton Davis
....that's what they made with "Obligatory MK match"? I mean it was a well-animated fight but dang thought it would be Stryker vs Cody or Jago vs Liu Kang
Joshua Davis
I don't believe you, Cage would've won if Warner was pressuring them, like Yang vs Tifa back when RT first bought ScrewAttack.
Levi Anderson
NoN season 2 never
Brayden Williams
>Decide to take a personal break on Death Battle and DBX so I can binge watch what I missed out on after a year or two (plus vs debating is cancer)
>This happens
Am I cursed?
Luis Ward
quick, marathon the Simpsons and Family Guy right now
Adam King
Ben said it himself in one of the podcasts that WB asked them to do a Mortal Kombat character
Also Cage vs Falcon was decently requested and back when it was a community match, the whole room started snickering when they read a tweet scaling Kintaro surviving a nuke to Cage punching Goro in the balls
Wyatt Hughes
I haven't watched either in years
Carson Sullivan
So to sum up this year so far for non-RWBYg anons.
-RWBY youtube reviewers split with some now dedicated to rage bait and shitting on RT.
-Lore book is more of a shitty artbook.
-Manga was crap (not the shirow one)
-Chinese mobile game looks cool but is only available in China.
-VA is fired over twitter allegations, Miles and other RT VAs pile on.
-RT exposed for not paying animators overtime, Nomad creator says 1/3rd of genLOCK and RWBY was made for free.
-Ozpin VA goes nuts on twitter and obsesses over youtubers.
-RT First rates get an increase despite no new meaningful content to justify it.
-Gray gets switched to creative role full time in wake of overtime wages controversy, Matt asks Ellation for help in finding new director.
-RTX receives backlash from fans for not hiring anyone to stream panels. (only thing that is streamed is center stage, most of the stream was a Mortal Kombat tournament)
-Mobile RWBY Chibi match 3 puzzle game announced.
-New character in After the Fall book "Carmine Esclados" gets shit on for being over designed.
-New RWBY writer has a history of whining about the rich white males on twitter and her previous books suck. (suspected scat fetish)
-New DC Comic is cheap trash, $1 a book, RT is lucky if they see 10 cents for each copy after everyone else takes a cut.
-Rooster Teeth channels on youtube have been trending down for a long time.
-New video game Vicious Circle is already dead with no player base despite giving it out for free to all members. (Steam stats show only 1 player)
-Ashley and Bruce leave RT shortly followed by 13% of the company.
On the bright side
-After the Fall book was ok enough.
-For some reason people still like Amity Arena
-Blazeblue cross over was well received.
Cooper Nguyen
Gavin's slo mo guys channel is still exploding in popularity, he puts other RT related channels to shame.
Jonathan Williams
It’s still a passion project by an actual living person, while RWBY has been going through aimless stuff like repeated retellings by manga artists, letting DC who didn’t even watch the show make a comic, using shipping to salvage fan interest, and generally trying to use info dumps and drama to avoid making the goofy action scenes that got people interested in the first place
Christopher Cruz
Thanks for the info, didn't know we had another Bane vs Venom situation. Hopefully, after this season this will stop the one-sided curb stomp requests that comment sections are filled with like
>Wolverine vs Shredder
>Iron Fist vs Ryu
>Hal Jordon vs Nova
>Bill Cipher vs Discord
>Genji vs Grey Fox
>The Millennium Falcon vs The Enterprise
Parker Miller
This. How do you have that many people making absolute shit?
Xavier Campbell
>Increase price of subs without any new addition to justify it
>Won't honor the deals of those who subbed for the original prices they were offered
>Blame their audience for being poor, act offended when their fans don't want to be charged more for less and double down by affirming their price hike is definitely worth it
Nah, let these greedy Jews suffer.
Matthew Hall

Luke Sanchez

KEK
Christopher Gray
Thanks for the recap
Letting Arcsys handle RWBY for a bit was interesting. They went over the top with Ruby’ personality but her fighting style was absolutely perfect
Tag as a whole does have a lot of detractors but that’s missing the point on how simplified controls =/= actual neutral play
Jaxon James
>-New DC Comic is cheap trash
Its out?
Elijah Wilson
>-Ozpin VA goes nuts on twitter and obsesses over youtubers.
Why is this a big deal? There are tons of RT members who obsess over Trump and the Republican party in general.
Asher Turner
The day people stop requesting stomps is the day Seth actually joins the research team
Carson Bell
For ages. It was painfully obvious the writer skimmed the show and got details wrong. Like Penny was an actual student and Ruby was always conscious when the school was destroyed.
Kevin Lewis
Shouldn't have cancelled Nomad from Nowhere
William Sanders
It's digital first, so the first two issues (which make up one normal issue) have been out for a while. There was a storytime yesterday.
Jayden Nguyen
>[karma intensifies]
Colton Brown
That's probably just out of mutual understanding and Vic knowing he's bringing too much heat with him, since some RWBY staff and Monty himself brushed off the initial comments about Vic.
Jordan Russell
How's that defamation suit going?
Daniel Reed
>Its Beaconshit.
Shame, might flip through the archive thanks anons.
Liam Perez
I usually find the meme tired and overused, but when it occurs by natural coincidence I think it's hilarious.
Brayden Jones
>tfw last week’s TCPA hearing went to shit faster than Daenerys’ heel turn in the final season of Game Of Thrones
Mason Harris
so what's the status of the KickVic Bowl? I hear everyone on all sides are scrounging and taking as much money as they can before this shit finally ends with everyone crying and losing.
Noah Hughes
Not him but the very last thing I heard about the thing was his name was found on the client list in some kiddy brothel shit?
Adam Rogers
How easy is it to just get CP and be part of a pedo ring? Since literally everyone with an ounce of influence or fame gets invited to this shit
Nicholas Nguyen
It does move on to the second issue as being a Volume 4, with some questionable flashbacks
Nolan Morales
Tortious interference got dropped, Marchi got dismissed, one more case is getting investigated next month and I could literally smell MarzGurl’s discharge from thousands of miles away after that shit got announced.
Also istandwithvic is full of fucking grifters who only talk about this shit for the YouTube money.
Josiah Miller
They have money, some fuckers want the money and provide shit that you can't get anywhere else for said money.
Nathan Morris
>That's probably just out of mutual understanding
Nope.
see pic, in another response he says an RT producer told him they didn't believe the allegations, then 2 weeks later they fired him.
Judge is to rule on TCPA for Funi and Monica defamation within 30days.
Claims against Jamie where dismissed, Vic can file a motion to reconsider or appeal.
The judge ignored evidence due to late filing and treated the hearing to a higher standard not required under TX law.
>retard
Juan Gray
>this may kill death battle
Cool
Jaxson Hall
>Gen:Lock is the one they give a shit about.
Not many enough fans give a shit about Gen:Lock, compared to RWBY.
Connor Cruz
The fuck?
Julian Gray
If the massive butt hurt from Superman vs Goku didn't kill them or how people "Swore off DB after Yang vs Tifa" then nothing will.
Liam Cruz
>How to save money for RT
- cut down or get rid of these TV wannabe shows like crunch time and day 5
- Stop making full length movies your not hollywood and your never going to be.
- Cut the fat from certain departments and stop making unnecessary "Diversity" Hires. Im sorry but certain people like Fiona and Alfredo need to be let go they dont add anything to AH that wasnt allready there
- Stop buying random youtube channels that are hot in the pan now but will fizzle in about a year. Looking at you Valleyfolks, i actually like steve, Joe, and Lee (Elliot can go fuck himself) but that was a super retarded move to let them on. also get rid of kinda funny
Jason Rivera
Easton Watson
Vic's lawyer makes Lionel Hutz look like Johnnie Cochran so the 1% chance of his defamation suit going anywhere went down to 0%. There's gonna be another ruling but it's pretty much over.
Nolan Young
Great idea, but when you have Toonami connections through sheer passion, you almost go full MTV and go "Hey this niche animated stuff can make some real money"
Michael Phillips

Carter James

Austin Green
Also, this video is relevant to the layoff situation
Julian Jones
>The judge ignored evidence due to late filing
this is false according to somebody who was in the audience. The judge didn't care
Leo Sanchez
Pic related.
Vic has been saddled with an incompetent real estate lawyer that was pushed on him a Youtube legal pundit. A defamation lawyer would have had much better luck defending him and would have known the court system and judges better but thanks to Beard being...a real estate lawyer the tortious interference stuff got tossed. He didn't know the judge and didn't prepare adequately (whether the standard was fair or not, a defamation lawyer would have had a better chance of realizing what was happening.) So that fucked Vic over real good.
The rest remains to be seen but ultimately it looks like Vic's been victimized by youtube creators and they've taken their audience along with the ride. It looks like a money making scheme trying to capitalize off his troubles and suck money out of the wallets of a naive and credulous audience.
Carson Cox
Raven being insecure to Summer is actually a good plot point but being in a comic questions it being put in the actual show in the future
Kayden Bailey
Actually I think they would be pissed they couldn't milk it for exposure.
nobody even heard of them before this and between the leaks and emails found during the short discovery period before TCPA kicked in it shows how shitty they really are.
>pretty much over.
No its gonna drag on for the next year with appeals and more motions if he loses TCPA.
>your not hollywood
Burnie and Matt won't stop until they are.
>unnecessary "Diversity" Hires
They hired fan artists from Tumblr, since then its been going downhill.
>get rid of kinda funny
for some reason gaming press people love them.
She went on livestream with Rekieta and others, they said he ignored stuff like Jamie tweets and other emails because Ty couldnt find it in his papers.
Thomas Campbell
Doesn't help that Ty admitted to the judge's face that he wasn't listening to what Chupp was saying
Josiah Rogers
were any of the Rooster Teeth shows outside of RWBY internationally exported?
Lucas Wright
As far as I can tell, the comic is making shit up as it goes along.

Holy shit, that would be a twist for the ages.
Thomas Reed
>After the Fall book was ok enough.
Isn't that RWBY in a nutshell? Just OK never really good or bad
Chase White
Yeah it's kind of like when Sony announced a "clean" edit of the Raimi Spider-Man films.
Robert Miller
If you compare the book to the show then the book is miles better and has cooler Grimm.
But its not great and there are issues with it.
Benjamin Ross
What in the fuck does a company like Rooster Teeth need 300+ staff for? What the fuck do most of those people even fucking do?
Jaxon Rivera
So the moral is to never trust YouTube lawyers
Kevin Powell
I'm more surprised that 50 people consists of 15% of the staff
John Lee
Death Battle is fine
Nobody from there got laid off
Nick was already out of the show
Jose Cox
Didn’t thy just release some arena shooter that flopped? Why wouldn’t they stick with RWBY shit if they wanted to get a game off the ground. Release a sequel to that one hack and slash.

Blake Howard
GRIMM Eclipse had escort missions...
How the fuck could a company full of lifelong gamers greenlight that?
Adrian Reed
I see that as RT needing to experiment since animated shows and LPs are going the way of the dodo thanks to THE ALGORITHM so they're trying anything to make money and not need to depend on sinking ships
Kevin Walker
What if RWBY get's cancelled? Could you imagine the salt?
Elijah Reyes
They created a new Animation channel
youtube.com
Aaron Sanchez
I think a youtube channel to dump a shit ton of videos for ad revenue isn't as much of a financial impact as developing a game or new show. But yeah it's weird how they run.
Joshua Ward
indeed. do not trust youtube lawyers, in fact don't trust youtube creators in general. they are entertainers because they can't make it in other fields of work. they should not be trusted to give factual accurate summations of anything.
I've watched some Nick's streams, he's a decent host and he puts on a pretty good show so he's a pretty good creator as those things are measured. butt he's pretty scummy. he's also the one who started the Gofundme for Vic's legal costs but now that Vic owes fees to Monica Rial since the TI was dropped, the GFM will be factored into his damages since that was free money give to him by Nick.
That means that the amount he has to pay might go up since the judge can go "well you got $200k in free money already so you'll need to make up for that gap from your own wallet."
The GFM was an awful idea, it was so awful that I'm almost wondering if Nick suspected this could happen and deliberately set it up to 1) get monaaaayy 2) create audience investment as he enticed his viewers and anime fans to hand it over 3) deliberately leave Vic high and dry after the dust settles.
this case has gone through so much weird crap that it wouldn't surprise me. at the very least Rekieta is a grifter that's taking advantage of people.
thing is I believe that the tortious interference is true and that Vic has never trespassed on anyone, but his legal team is utter garbage to the point where it must be by design at least because of Rekieta's nepotism.
Eli Davis
I don't know, I really like some cooking channels and there's some really cool programmer tutorials out there, but yeah 99% of the time it's just a dropout who thinks his 1 and a half years of community college makes them an expert.
Kayden Russell
Didn't he give Meyer advice for the Waid lawsuit?
How did that go?
Grayson Foster
Merch division including shipping will be like 10 including the R&D, in-house legal will be around 5, HR would be around 5, clerical, office management and accounting will be around 20 making sure the phones and mail get through, custodial and maintenance will be around 5, computer monkeys will be at least 20-30, marketing, industry outreach, and public relations will be around 20, international divisions as well as people on the road doing all the above will add something like 30 people to that number,
That leaves around 200 people doing content creation. In addition to the people making content, each project will have behind-the-scenes writers, management and some poor fucks who have to edit everything, which works out to around 20 teams of content/brands consisting of around 10 people each.
At my place of work at least four people/signatures get involved if I want to buy a can of WD-40 (obviously the chemical is more complicated than that but you get the point).
William Barnes
you make a good point, the shows about crafts and tech are often pretty good. but that's also about people following their passions and teaching them to an audience willing to learn.
a lot of youtube creators turn their liveshows into niche versions of Jerry Springer, that's what Rekieta does, it's what Drama Alert does. It's all just the equivalent of the daytime television that the olds watched back in their prime.
Thomas Hughes
good, fuck em for making that stupid rbwy cartoon
Lincoln Williams
These startup type companies usually grows to quickly and that have lots of redundant and useless positions.
They'll have lots of positions where 3-4 people are doing the work you really only need 1 person to do.
Basically, when they were like 50 employees. When a problem popped up. Instead of increasing a person's workload, they'd just higher someone new.
Josiah Robinson
>Vicious Circle is already dead
Holy shit it's true. It fucking died in a month. It's like lawbreakers all over again
Anthony Martinez

Death Battle tends to mind its own business when it comes to RT shit aside from Chad being more involved with the RT crew
Robert Thomas

>Superbutterbuns
>Pan-Pizza
>NakeyJakey
>Ross Scott
>Rerez
>Kuro
Lincoln Jones
>the GFM will be factored into his damages
Thats not how the law works.
If Vic loses the amount owed will only be legal costs, even then they can fight over what is a reasonable amount so Monica's lawyer cant just say hike up the legal bill cuz cash is on the table.
Andrew Foster
Dude, I want Power Rangers to score at least one win but I'm fine with Tommy going 0-2
Wait until Zedd gets a Boom handjob or have the Turbo Megazord fight a Combiner if the Zords prior to its creation get more Alpha-1 buffs
Matthew Hernandez
>a lot of youtube creators turn their liveshows into niche versions of Jerry Springer, that's what Rekieta does, it's what Drama Alert does. It's all just the equivalent of the daytime television that the olds watched back in their prime.
That's only really an issue when they try to pass it off as real news I think. If everyone just understood is was tabloid level celebrity gossip I don't think it'd be a problem.
Jayden Green
oh yeah? that's good to hear actually, I don't want Vic going bankrupt over this
Nicholas Turner
>Kuro
>In RT
I'll laugh my ass off if he tries to get Ben vs Hal 2 be made and land a spot on the research team and be the one to animate it
Seth has gone full tsundere
Kayden Gray
...he does know that animation barely reflects the results right? Also shut up Seth that shot of Jiraya using a Rasengan to run through a Kamehameha was kino even though he lost. Also Dragonball powerlevels are dumb since Goku got tazed and Goku Black got shot in the head
Ryder Jenkins
>...he does know that animation barely reflects the results right?
What do you think?
Jace Martinez
Pat gets fatter every time i see him
Nolan Wright
I sadly only know that RWBY got a music and effects version that dubbing studios would use for making dubs out of
Brandon Clark
unfortunately I think that's what happens a lot. Nick really hyped up his audience with stuff like "the stupidest law firm in Texas could win this" and he's successfully pulled in a lot of people that are convinced this is a life and death ideological battle stuff. not sure if they're more or less jaded now.
Daniel White
I think he's legit prewriting 5 different scripts for Sasuke vs Heie and drafting the rumored Saitama vs Goku or Freiza vs Mewtwo season finale.
Jace Ross
On that same note it means that when it doesn't make as much money as they want or if they feel they don't need new episodes anymore everyone can get the ax.
Mason Gray
Pat's stream, which is just memespouting, made me realize that I have nothing in common with the vast majority of the fanbase.
For a while here on Yea Forums I thought that everyone liked the Best Friends performance for solid qualities. And seeing Pat moving on to succeed by making pure fucking trash changed that impression.
Zachary Nguyen
>Season finale
Wut
Lincoln Lewis

Life imitates art.
Logan Hill
People who could survive RT Closing outside of the top executives
- Gavin
- Chad and ben if they kept DB going
- Greg miller
and thats about it. everyone else would be kinda fucked and try to struggle on twitch or youtube
Oliver Torres
It's a meme from FBI statistics.
>Despite beign 13% of the population, blacks are responsible for 53% of the homicides.
Christian Edwards
The big rumor of Death Battle Season Finale is that this season is "Nothing but fan requests" so we're lead with these 3 fights
>Unicron vs Galactus
>Freiza vs Mewtwo
>Goku vs Superman 3 or Saitama
since apparently they're the last fights that have been heavily requested to the point they're filtered in the emails
Kevin Richardson
Part of me thinks Chad has been associating himself more with the RT core because he doesnt do anything for DB outside of voice acting Boomstick
Also, their higher production values over time came from RT
Easton Cook
>Nothing but fan requests
That was last year minus Carnage vs Lucy (and even then Carnage was heavily demanded) and Leon vs Frank (which was a request from Torrian)
Isaiah Edwards
I have a feeling Achievement Hunter could survive if they stick together and just come up with a new name or something if they can't use the old one.
Daniel Murphy
Why do people like RT shows again? They are all pretty much trash, gen:lock being one of the worst things ive watched in awhile.
Thomas Reyes
eh, that's Ben's words when describing this season since this season has a Ben 10 fight and a RWBY fight. But you're right. Hopefully, we get Freiza vs Mewtwo since people underestimate the power of Mewtwo especially since Freiza is the definition of "It Hurts itself in confusion"
Logan Thomas
>(suspected scat fetish)
Oh that is so not good.
Adrian Sullivan
Ben himself has called Frieza vs Mewtwo a dumb match that makes no sense theme wise
When Shadow vs Mewtwo was announced he had to make an image comparing Mewtwo, Shadow, Silver, and Frieza to point out they have nothing in common aside from purple, white, and tails
Connor Barnes
Personally I think its keeping content releases at a high pace and terrible management.
John Thompson
if they were to stick with Geoff, Micheal, Gavin, jack, Ryan, & Jeremy and get rid of everyone else who works behind them than yeah they could survive on their own. but i highly doubt any of them would want to make the same amount of content they do now, plus possibly having to move to a longer twitch schedule and either have to edit all their stuff themselves to cut costs or have to hire like 2-3 editors.

Considering RWBY still has some tie to blazblue cross tag it would likely go there, unless Warner wants to keep it. Warner is the overall owner after all. Also might be some rights still in Monty's family's hands considering he pitched RWBY to RT, he didn't make it for them directly "on commission" as it were. That could complicate what happens to RWBY.
Gabriel Wright
Both Pat and Woolie hate the LP format and playing with someone else on controls. So they decided to make the same money doing something else, which makes them happier. It's a win-win for them but to me, they're basically unwatchable now.
Jackson Walker
Pretty sure RWBY is already there.

he's legitimately considered one of the world's leading experts on cinematic slo-mo. He consulted on a few movies before creating his channel and later joining RoosterTeeth, and has continued to consult on an on-and-off basis for several big budget hollywood pictures.

Pat absolutely, but Woolie is slavishly devoted to it
Even Matt isn't as devoted to it although that is probably because he's desperately trying to get wha happens out every week because that's his only popular feature
But you can hear on the podcast about woolie so worried about LP poison that he's putting twitter polls up
Those guys needed Pat to say who gives a fuck but the only thing he needed them for is an excuse to get out of his pajamas

Elijah Murphy
Wew. Now we know why they didn't just ask JDF to voice. We all know he has nothing better to do, but would only do it if Tommy won.

Craig is offering Nick a position at Game Attack
Ben's busy as a showrunner, voice actor, writer, etc for Death Battle while Chad just voices Boomstick so it makes sense he has more time to do more RT in general stuff

I don't even listen to the podcast anymore as the lack of shits I give about their other products has a negative impact on the podcast product. I don't exactly follow what you're saying about Woolie. Is Woolie concerned about his LP product that he's putting up Twitter polls? Does he finally fucking realize that basically all his LPs are bland as fuck and it is entirely to blame on his choice of friends he chooses to play with?
Matt has three decades of video game trainwrecks to tap for Wha Happun and he can easily incorporate movies and television and comics into that format; his gravy train isn't going to stop running. Whatever tepid LP he cranks out with Liam in the classic formula is still better than anything any of them are making. Pat may be the most successful but fuck his godawful stream, which is this generations premier cultural sewage. The Best Friends LPs were for the most part unedited too and whatever shit they wanted to throw up on the channel but they weren't the same fucking sex and cat jokes non-stop.
Blake Ortiz

Adrian Murphy
No he was losing his shit over Vic supporters.
He started retweeting nutjobs too, some who dox and sperg at randos, eventually he calmed down (relatively) but the dumbest thing he said was about "abuse of power" in relationships. Acting like being a VA is equivalent to a Hollywood movie star.

At its core its a 5 vs 1 juggernaut game that slides from 5 mercs vs 1 monster and at the end is 5 monsters vs 1 merc. The game also encourages you to fuck over the teammates and even if you tried to purposely sabotage the enemy, you can't, so there is no real way to make that fun or engaging without stripping the game from its (poorly designed) core.
Kevin Reed
Mega 64 > Rooster Teeth
Jeremiah White
Matt already does videos with effort and will likely survive out of spite being called simpsons macfartgas. While those two chucklefucks are so shitty when doing solo shit. Liam breaking down when hearing pat and woolie getting by RT was hilarious in a way
Hunter Ross
I'm not sure why people are saying Monty's death was the end of RWBY. The guy died after Vol 2 and we are getting Vol 7 in less than 2 months. And Monty was more of an idea guy who was good at choreographing fights. He wasn't exactly someone who cared much about long term planning.
Ryan Hall
>in a way
that way being the least he deserved
Ethan Foster
When was the last time RWBY was good, though? I'm willing to believe that Monty had input about the future of the plot even through this point, but like...the execution is pretty shitty. There's a LOT of wasted time of "dramatic pauses" in episodes that are too short to waste time, the dialogue is stilted in a way that feels as though it was translated from another language but wasn't, and the lack of Monty's choreography REALLY comes across in the supposed "epic fight scenes" in the last few seasons.

Tyler Bell
>DBX already showed that, but with Raiden. Genji has no chance.
Well DBX is done with zero research done and is just made for the battle itself. But you're right, Genji would never win. It's stupid to even try and have them in a Death Battle. Like with Black Widow vs Widowmaker. Black Widow has feats and facts from decades of comics, cartoons, movies and games, whereas Widowmaker has only appeared in a couple of comics and a games.
Brody Bailey
wait, what did liam do. i stopped keeping track of him after he left.
Chase Kelly
He was just a real big bitch as I recall. When TBFP died he started some drama about how Pat was a dick to him and tried dragging Woolie into it.
I forget what exactly happened, there were a lot of Yea Forums threads around that time. It really lowered my impression of Liam.

Gav could partner with YouTube directly if RT went to actual shit. He basically already did with the super slow show or whatever that thing was called. Gav normally doesn't give a fuck, but an internal meltdown at RT would result in him leaving RT long before RT woulf leave him.
Barb's a jolly ol' slut, and I mean that in a completely positive way, she'd work for RT's spare change if it meant she gets to say shitty puns and make jerk off motions to a hundred thousand fans on the internet.

It seems that Goku fans always wanna move the damn goal posts and not accept that their favorite guy lost.

Leo Robinson
For me it was specifically Pat and Matt together. Nothing was better than those two playing off each other. The dumb hilarious shit that they accomplished together was unmatched. I'm not saying Matt and Liam together approach anything resembling good, but Life is Strange is... okay. It's fine if you're desperate. When they're done, LPs will be done for me too.
It's weird that LPs begin and end with them. There are some funny one-off LPs out there but nobody performed with any reliability as those two. Shit, their Slender Machinima stuff and DP was too good.

I think a lot of is going to depend on how Arizona Circle does. If it bombs like every single one of their attempts at scripted comedy then I assume RT is going to stop green-lighting anything else Funhaus tries to do in the future. After that I wouldn't be surprised if everyone else there leaves as well and just joins whatever Bruce is planning or just tries to get into production jobs elsewhere.
After watching the preview of it they did a while back I don't have very high hopes for it.

As far as I'm concerned the entire damn company needs to burn to the ground, I'm not overly racist, but there has always been too many fucking jews in RT. Nepotism has always been RTs standard operating procedure.
Death Battle and AH should split off and do their own things, the rest should have died years ago. Right around the time Ray left was the biggest signalling of the end, the quality of EVERYTHING fell dramatically after that. RWBY was almost always shit and will never be what it could be, death of monty made sure of that.
To call RT a shell of their former self would be too flattering.
Julian Campbell
>Niche Youtubers like Frederator
They're a multi-channel network that used to make cartoons, but now mostly just contract with weird bullshit that gets algorithmic promotion.
They were the canary in the coal mine, scraping site statistics and notifying users for years that quality content would no longer get them viewership. In fact I think it was one of their guys who coined the phrase, "Don't make good video, make video good enough for Youtube".

gus and burnie actively try to avoid mentioning joel every chance they can when they talk about old RT or founder stuff on the RT podcast. geoff/AH mentions him still rarely and once in a blue moon he gets coerced into on the spot's cast for an episode or two, otherwise we'd never see or hear of him ever. he doesn't even tweet about RT.

I've already accepted the end.
Back when I was in high school, the best part of my day was coming home to watch their videos, way back when they were still in IG.
But for a long time now I haven't really enjoyed their content anymore. Maybe they grew stale, but I think I just changed, or maybe it's both, I don't know.
Regardless, it's better to just end I think, like sacrificing an old dog you loved.
I wish they had focused more on what made them great in the first place, too bad we won't ever see another 'blade' or 'thruster man' again.

FYI, allegedly 37 of those lay-offs were part of the live-action production team so that’s probably what’s getting scaled back the most.
I doubt anyone in the animation department got cut unless they had already wanted to fire that person anyways.
Jacob Bailey
Question, so what did Fiona do prior to working at AH? Was she a steamer?
Jack Flores
You're telling me some machinima animator company has almost 400 employees? No way most of the are of any use. I bet they have whole divisions of nothing but worthless social media shitposting sjws. They should have cut off way more than 50. Why are youtube companies so inefficient at management and personnel? Linus Tech Tips have over 30 employees and a huge office, and they just make youtube videos. On the other hand, Pewdiepie only has himself and his editor, and he's dabbing on all these tryhard youtube companies.
Camden Walker
RT was made before youtube and have always focused on their own site as much as youtube.
they see themselves as a legitimate "media company" because of making ""television shows"" and """movies""" that transcend the youtube barrier.
Alexander Torres

John Bell
a quarter of the employees are housed under AH and FH combined. on-screen "personalities" are all RT employees, as well as every individual editor (AH has like 10+) or whatever other roles they have people for.

Six season outline user. Important distinction.
Remember back when it started the plan was 2 volumes per season but then what would have been season 1 took place over volumes 1-3 and at that point they just dropped that whole idea and said “fuck it! Volume = Season.”
Also regarding the “they changed shit” fiasco, I’m pretty sure Monty’s plan was pretty much, “animu girls travel the world, and try to keep evil witch from assembling the triforce”.

Rwby was never really that good. It was enjoyable because of some fine fight scenes and the fact that it was a small indie domestically produced product.

Nice trips.
Seriously though, this. Not because of the schedule but because they changed up their content. I actually prefer their lower budget shit (comments show namely) and preferred the older layout of the office as it was more conducive to the humour (demo disk happening to have Elyse or Lawrence behind to occasionally join in).

Cow Chop is gone this year so there's a few more % right there.

cow chop are just partnered with RT, they aren't RT employees. Otherwise running out of money wouldn't be one of the big issues they're facing.

Why did Liam freak out like that anyway?

I find it funny RWBY didn't have any lesbian elements until AFTER Monty died, considering he made Haloid.

She’s an anomaly. Every shitty soulless let’s play group eventually adds a token female member, and they always end up being terrible and ignorant when it comes to gaming, but Elyse somehow ended up being funny.

Because Liam is a fucking child.
For the most part Liam (and Matt) is correct about Pat, who flies off the handle and says some pretty inflammatory shit without considering for a moment the context of how it could be harmful. And that's pretty much why we find Pat entertaining but it's obvious that it's not an act and that Pat is like that all the time and when it comes time to actually talking over something serious, it's likely Pat will continue to be his inconsiderate self. What Liam doesn't realize is that dancing on the grave of the Best Friends channel before the body's gone cold is also inconsiderate as fuck given that the audience was there purely for love and entertainment and he had to taint the loss with some (legitimate) grudge shit. You wouldn't go to the funeral of your worst enemy and taunt their children, that's always going to be fucked up and that's basically what Liam did.
Maybe in a few years Liam will grow up and if he doesn't he'll just be one of those useless fucking adults who think their opinions are the only ones that matter. But given his shitty reaction to the RT partnership and how for some fucking reason he couldn't feel at least happy for Woolie is some real fucked up shit. Or maybe Liam just hates Woolie too now so his actions now make sense if not still petty as fuck.
It's fine Liam feels the way he does but he's a fucking retard for not knowing that venting in public doesn't help him at all on a personal or public opinion level. Talking shit about people behind their backs gets you fucking nothing unless you are actually planning a revolution. Otherwise your fucking therapist is there for that shit; the Internet mob is a shit therapist.
Brayden Sanchez
eh they're probably still making profit
Aaron Clark
I mean... no shit.
There’s no chance of RT going under until RWBY ends just because of how much fucking money it makes.
At worst RT just gets merged into the VRV umbrella.
Connor Brown
Somehow I still listen to the RT podcast, mostly for burnie/gus banter. Episodes without them are consistently trash though, mainly consisting of dick jokes and millenial dating talk. I can already feel that I'll stop listening to it in the semi near future though ,just because there's increasingly more video related segments on it, which I'll never understand. Are there really that many people who have nothing better to do than watch a 90 minute podcast? Podcasts are shit I'll put on dureing a commute or walking my dog when i'm not in the mood for music or an audiobook, and RT podcast when I'm not in the mood for more educational/''serious'' (not really) stuff. So the idea that there's enough people actually watching that shit that they,re increasingly catering to it is weird af to me.
Not sure if I'm just getting old, or my taste isn,t quite that shitty yet. But there's soooooo many better things i could be watching or doing when i have the time sit and watch something

Geoff, for all his faults, is a funny dude. i'm sure he'd bounce back somehow. Not sure doing what, but he'd be fine even if he wasn,t a founder

not after the divorce or with a teenage daughter

Jose Morgan
A job which she fucked up on literally her first day, what a keeper for RT
James Bailey
I agree
The more 'produced' the shows got the worse they ended up being.
Cameron Rodriguez
He was funny when he drank, now he's just a sanctimonious cunt
Xavier Fisher
I stopped watching RvB after the writers decided that it needed a serious story. Once that started episodes had a strange juxtaposition of them trying to have this serious subject going on and then suddenly the original characters would show up to do something silly.
I stopped watching the podcast soon after they switched the name from Drunk Tank to appease sponsors and they also stopped shitting on Jack as often.
RWBY was always trash so I never got into it.
I'll still watch AH videos occasionally if that new annoying cunt isn't in them. I'll also watch FH stuff as well although I'm wondering how much longer they'll last now that Bruce bailed.
Jeremiah Anderson
The podcast is Woolie's, that's where he's getting most of his money supplemented with whatever scraps he gets from YouTube plus the occasional stream and running the con circuit
Pats got whatever percentage he gets from the podcast, which make no mistake is what RT paid for, plus his streaming which was already enough between him and his girl clone to buy a freaking house
Which was probably the impetus for Matt to kill the channel to carve out his own thing because he has always hated the podcast
Noah Nelson
Clearly you aren't considering how much merch there is.
Jaxon Scott
They're just so hit and miss. I've enjoyed stuff like the Matrix plays where they dressed up and 'Weed Labo' but there has been some utter garbage like 'Skaters vs Surfboarders' (or whatever the fuck it was called) and the one's where they've dressed up as singers/artists for whatever reason. Also, 'Talking Stalkings' sounded funny but, christ, those videos are hard misses.
Adrian Hughes
Also, used to love Google trends, then liked it less when they did the gameshow set up, now detest it with Alanah at the helm.
Ayden Wright
Good one…
Jason Wood
I guess they'll truly have the last laugh after all

>At worst RT just gets merged into the VRV umbrella.

because that already happened, VRV, Crunchyroll and RT are all under Ellation.

Jaxson Reed
Roosterteeth for me has always been a burning sack of shit waiting to burst open.
Looking back, I was watching a bunch of losers. I was watching RT since 2010 and game fails. I would watch lets play videos every week. The last straw that broke my interest was when ray left 4 years ago.
The personalities were representing a socially awkward community and became nothing but know-it-all neckbeards. I’d download podcasts and increasingly i’d get bored of burnie and gus acting like they knew everything.
The bubble just burst in the end. Everyone was just a fucking depressing load of bollocks to watch.
The community was and probably still is a fucking joke. Hyper autistic twonks having slapfights over whether X player cheated in Y recording session or crying over math problems. I think there was a minecraft video with triangles and spheres and the whole subreddit discussion was guys screaming at each other because someone was using incorrect geometry. I’ve met no one friendly here at all.
The YouTube channel decided to self destruct overnight thanks to michael burns when they decided that all the GOOD content they required to excel properly belonged on other channels. I said back in 2013 “hey you guys should probably focus on quality instead of shitting out shows no one wants to watch” NOPE THIS CHANNEL IS FOR THINGS NO ONE WANTS. Then they say, Ok, we’ll get on twitch, Ray leaves because Roosterteeth decides he’s using their name to get audience members. As I look back, that guy was a fucking loser too. Somehow goes after gamerscore with a glitched account.
What does the Roosterteeth YouTube channel even have on it these days? I just checked the social blade. They barely made 500,000 subs over the past 2 years. It’s going to be the year 2022 before they even reach 10 million. Every day 500 subscribers vanish so i’m not even sure they’ll reach a diamond play button.
Xavier Adams
The only reason those dumb ass geekz aren't as over as literally any other video game youtube shit is that they didn't milk it at the right time when it was effortless to start your game channel with decent views. That's it. That's all. Still have way more actual legitimacy than anyone out there in that particular niche, though.
What a surprise! Here's a TL;DR. You know how Burnie and Gus, but specially Burnie, acted on the forums? Shutting down and even banning anyone that had any thing even slightly negative to say about RT? Nothing changed.
Aaron Jackson
Derrick will be the one that will nuke it all. He's gotten better, but for a while there all he could manage was bitch about the youtube thing while at the same time not getting why they weren't as big there as other groups.
Landon Sullivan
The singular funniest female on the internet Genuinely entertaining.
Leo Howard
>puts all the eggs on Gen:lock
>it doesn't pay off anything
now they only have rwby but is already dying and all the other cartoons are mediocre at best.
Asher Taylor
Did they really think gen:lock was gonna be a hit? It was literally one of the worst things ive ever watched.
Gabriel Collins
Ah they are far enough away to dodge any fallout
Oliver Hall
i mean they invested a ton of money specially the VA, you don't waste so much unless you think you have the winning formula.
Colton Nguyen
They're their own separate shitshow, user. If you still like them, here's hoping they only eat shit once, and not twice on account of RT.
Jacob Martin
Gen:Lock is doomed.
Camden Taylor
Its hard to believe that someone actually thought hiring Maisie Williams was a good choice
Elijah Sanchez
>crop
Jace Lewis
No I mean losing their autonomy as a separate streaming service and be exclusive to VRV.
Which arguably isn’t a bad thing but whatever, I genuinely believe that’s the endgame here. Just centralizing all their content on VRV.
Easton Barnes
Screw attack was better. WTF is Game attack?
Jeremiah Jones
>t. angry grifter
the fuck's "losers above"?
Christopher Stewart

Eli Lopez
At about the same time Ray left and on a podcast Burnie said he didn't believe in separating art from artist when it came to criticizing projects that people he knew worked on.
Gave up on everything non Funhaus when the Fallout 4 shit happened with Ryan, Gus, and Meg
Camden Reyes
Whenever RvB went from comedy to stupid melodrama
Zachary Lee
shit, i hope none of the staff of campcamp was cut.
Wyatt Flores
I don’t care about anything besides camp camp. RvB actually remembered how to both be funny and have a plot last season so I’ll keep watching that, rwby is enjoyably stupid.
So that’s one show I like + two I’m iffy on.
What do the exSBFP or zaibatsu or whatever they called themselves have to do with RT? If they got hired by them, what are they actually doing?
Hudson Hill
The same thing they've been doing. The Podcast is still pretty popular and that is presumably what RT is paying for. Also con appearances and similar things. I'd also assume they have something in the works like new LP's or crossovers.
Owen Price

It wont be over till Goku wins sadly. Personally I just want a fun match which ends with both being

>Goku and Superman shake hands and thats that.

take inspiration from that stickfight with FLLFFL and that ninja guy where they're sworn rivals but put that aside for the moment to stop a bank heist then walk off into the sunset saying "maybe we'll finish this another time".

They're just going to hire more niche youtubers to fill the void of interns that did little to nothing. They'll be back THEY ALWAYS DO

Robert Ortiz
well AT&T announced their new streaming service and said RT content will be on there as well as stuff from their other companies
Benjamin Edwards
You can't build a business by hiring regressively lower-skilled workers (who work for free). The quality of your product gets worse and you bleed more customers. Kind of like Yea Forums's janny hiring practices.
Jordan Martin
A partnership like that with such a large company is such a massive chunk of change. Even if the streaming service eats shit you still make so much money.
Luke Allen
I thought Rooster Teeth was like seven people tops.
Jacob Gutierrez
That's how they keep on getting excused for producing tripe.

>ScrewAttack's "Nervous" Nick Cramer
I'm loved SA before they got absorbed by RT and became soulless, but this sucks. Nick was always cool.
Ryder Moore
>camp Camp
No need to worry.
Rumors coming out supposedly from the people who got fired indicate something like 75% of the lay offs were in the live action department.
And even if that wasn’t the case, Camp Camp is the 2nd most popular RT series behind RWBY. At worst maybe one person got let go on that team.
Jeremiah Howard

Death Battle is probalby currently the most safe outisde of RWBY. Though Ben definetly has said that he wants to end it eventually with Wiz vs Boomstick. Also the Sasuke vs Hiei prediction blog is going well
