Rooster Teeth needs to be destroyed. End the curse.
500 is already shit for someone being pity-watched just after quitting, he'll be lucky if he's going to be above 100 in 3 months

It always amazes me how youtubers like pewdiepie who have millions of views on their video still complain about ad revenue and you get youtube channels like FH who employ a bunch of people but only hover around 400k views.
Blake Butler
What a dumb fucking post. lol
Evan Thompson
pretty sure FH floats on from paid subscriptions on RT site
Grayson Johnson
who? why is this video games?
Austin Phillips
who was fired though? can't be anyone worthwhile
Elijah Sullivan
Everyone survives off of sponsorships and sales.
Actual ad revenue is shit.
Evan Russell

Just stop dude, accept the fact e celeb trash is video games just like paid dlc and your life will be easier.

What about the guy who does the weekend shows? I like Brian
Christopher Young
Funhaus is super woke though
Owen Williams
>another case of 'ripped content with some dubs turns out to be run by talentless hacks' wild i would never guess a bunch of asset rips with low-quality voiceovers would turn out to be run by asspies. absolute fucken shocker opie, please describe your thought process as you dawned on this realization as humankind has not yet witnessed the functions of a sentient fucking cinderblock
Alright children, settle down, old papa user is gonna tell you a story.
Now a long time ago, way before your fancy VR helmets and microtransaction games, there existed a world of simple consoles and full game releases. Among those ancient games there was one called "Halo".
"Halo" was very popular among the people, so a couple of guys thought it would be funny to make type of series now known as "Machinma" out of it. To watch it, you had to download it for Quicktime; you kid's can think of it as a kind of offline Netflix.
They named this series "Red vs Blue", and it was fucking terrible, but all the emos who would later grow up to be normies ate that shit up, and the company that made it, now known as Rooster Teeth, grew and grew and grew...
They made some more series, and vlogs covering all forms of gaming topics but now it wasn't enough...They wanted more.
Rooster Teeth, using their new fortune spread and sought out other content creators for their cause; usually, people with actual talent, that they would win over with false promises of "exposure" and "project funding". Once they had them contractually obligated and essentially owned the entire rights of the show, they would then suck the very essence, the soul out of them.
By doing this now for years they have lasted throughout each gaming generation; a parasite that feeds off the lifeforce of others, and the endless hunger that grows more desperate with each studio they end up devouring.
So remember children, to be good, or ol' Rooster Teeth will come and gobble you up!
That's because they've got integrity and vision rather than just greed. I wish they were bigger, though, I can't imagine they rake in much cash for how many people they employ + other costs.
Christopher Harris
Brian is apparently safe; his partner is not though as they haven't said anything when asked.
You obviously care enough to go in a thread you didn't care about and reply in said thread that you supposedly don't care about
Ian Lee
You cared enough to go in the thread and reply
Zachary Lopez
No they aren't. If Funhaus were supreme, SJW tier woke they would never do shit like the Japanese accent James does. They have said numerous things that could be construed as racist and sexist.
Eli Moore
Not surprised, but who cares? Rooster Teeth died a decade ago. They were only good for the first few years of RvB and that's it. Also, fuck em, they basically killed Cow Chop.
They double as a game studio. Just came out with a new game. Not a good one, but technically this is Yea Forums relevant.
Mason Carter
>Also, fuck em, they basically killed Cow Chop. Nah, that was Brett.
Parker Martin
You couldve just said theyre the people who made RvB
No one cares about machinima really ever. Believe it or not, we didnt look at that shit so we wouldnt know who these jews are
Dylan Phillips
I couldn't give any less of a fuck. Gonna roll a 5 tho.
Kayden Gutierrez
Post-Ryan Giant Bomb is immortal, it'll survive forever as long as it keeps being awful.
Dominic Lopez
You give enough a fuck to post here
William Campbell
machinima was the genre for scripted shows recorded ingame.
Jaxon Harris
Ohhhh damn, some white trash "nerd culture" grift operation is having internal conflict? Please tell me more and keep making threads about it!
Noah Ramirez
Doesnt mean he cares, just that he has enough time to reply to random shit
Bentley Diaz
Literally everyone popular from RT whom I've seen start their stream careers have had nothing but success
I mean go look at James and Aleks from CowChop
Joseph Evans
Fuck outta here, Rocco. I ain't fundng your shitty tar Wars / Disney world adventures. Mega6 already makes over $25,000 a month through Patreon alone, not even factoring in ad revenue, book / dvd sales, or their clothing merchandise / sponsorships.
Brandon Campbell
GET WOKE
Owen Ramirez
who cares saged and reported and saged again you double nigger
Sebastian Hill
remember when they were just the red vs blue dudes
Andrew Scott
Some Jap company is going to buy it up
Ryan Smith
Then maybe it'll be good.
Joshua Brown
It’s also irrelevant to nothing about this thread. Oh boy, RvB was a series with halo characters, why don’t you put that in a memo entitled “shit I already know.”
I read your whole dumb post and I still don’t know who the fuck Bruce is or what is going on.
John Peterson
Some f*gs who made some shitty videos in Halo 3 (some ancient game nobody has ever heard of)
Christopher Parker
Jap 3dcg is almost unanimously trash. Hoseki no Kuni is the only exception I can think of.
William Ward
are SJWs eating their own, again?
Nicholas Lewis
Well, they don't have to keep i CG, there's already a manga and now a comic. If they made it 2d and got some competent writers it could be good.
>discover that RT has been using interns and indefinite "contingent" workers for about 80% of their staff; effectively slave labor This is happening in industries fucking everywhere now. It's the result of globalism. Obviously a ton of the temporary hires are foreigners too. Nobody is getting a permanent job anywhere anymore. Did you know a bank won't even give you a car loan unless you have a permanent position somewhere? You could be making minimum fucking wage at Costco selling tires but if you've passed probation the bank doesn't care if you have enough money to eat so long as you make your payments. Who is leasing cars? Who is taking out mortgages?
Matthew Reed
And caring about the guys who made Red vs Blue a million years ago makes you cool?
Liam Wood
"Caring" =/= knowing they exist
I honestly don't care about the majority of the shit I know about
Kayden Robinson
If you look at the YouTube metrics for Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter, you could tell that this was inevitable. Achievement Hunter alone has 19 staff members. Fucking why? They also just announced price increases to their subscription service and the amount of exclusive content they produce just doesn't justify the price. I can pay Netflix $10~ a month to watch premium content from people like David Fincher and you expect people to pay the same for Rooster Teeth? lol
Jordan Richardson
GO BROKE
BASED
Ayden Diaz
Sorry California cute boys, but in the end only one can stand. And they've been on DSP's hitlist since the VGX.
>YouTube metrics RT supposedly survived on paid subscriptions.
Kayden Martin
so inside halo
Ian Mitchell
who fucking cares holy shit
play some video games for once
Jaxson Powell
>Fucking why? Streamlined editing and production process. They can basically shit out videos faster and have them edited and ready to upload in dozens. Videos uploaded today could have been recorded as far back as June. Shit, the podcast pilots they're putting up are from May.
Caleb Brooks
Real talk: In light of stuff like this, channel awesome, and other "organizations" of the sort, it really makes me wonder These people, young people, discover the internet, the closest man has gotten to a wild west-esque platform, where they can produce and distribute content easily and for practically free, with literally the whole WORLD at the click of a button, with the added benefit of instant feedback and interaction with consumers
Literally an ocean of posibilities and unheard degree of freedom and flexibility for the modern man And yet, they choose to sign their life away and enslave themselves to these collectives and meme corporations, which are often easily surpassed by independant creators, just to suffer and be exploited, and then go down with the ship
Why do these retarded faggots do this?
Xavier Sullivan
Do they even do tutorial for achievements anymore?
Blake Torres
PEWD TROLLED ADL ROSTER TEETH GONE BROKE

SO MUCH WINNING!
Charles Roberts
Last one I can recall was Doom 2016
Brayden Harris
No, but it does make you a cuck
Levi Perez
>name is called Achievement Hunters >doesn't even hunt achievements What the fuck do they even do?
Lincoln Jenkins
I stopped watching a few years ago when they talked about some YouTuber who slept with a 16 year old girl. Understandably, they condemned the behavior, but they made a big stink about the possibility of finding a 16 year old attractive. They faked disgust and I knew they were full of shit. Nobody can object to prime pussy.
Brandon Martin
They made a video out of drinking water earlier
Joseph Smith
No, and they actually recently canned a Minecraft series about getting every in-game achievement because at minimum 4 of their "playing video games" staff straight up can't wrap their brains around the game.
Joseph Phillips
Good, all these sjw companies need to be purged.
Liam Brown
I unironically believe in VIDEO GAME PLAYERS RISE UP now.
VIDEO GAME PLAYERS RISE UP now.
You mess with VIDEO GAME PLAYERS, VIDEO GAME PLAYERS!
Daniel Howard
Mega64 is zombie mode, no one has care about them in over 10 years
Carson Smith

Nicholas Powell
Blame Alanah. I blame Alanah.
Bentley Long
Would you suck your dad's dick for a billion dollars?
>Why do these retarded faggots do this? They get too big. They realize that there is a CHANCE that they can spend the rest of their lives doing this.
But they can't. No one can. No internet funnyman company has lasted more than a decade to date.
But that hope is enough for them to at least try. Most of the internet literally whos either came from soul-crushing wageslave jobs or had zero education or experience before putting on a funny voice in front of a mic. See: Pat. Picture him having to go back to a grocery store. Or, an unsuccessful version: Liam. He's had to go back to college because his e-celeb career has basically fallen through with maybe a hundred frequent viewers per twitch stream, not even enough to pay rent even if he did it regularly for a month.
No one sees that outcome for themselves and instead see an outcome where they can quit their job and live as internet funnymen. They do this because, for a short while, it works out for them.
Owen Reed
Remember when RoosterTeeth was about two guys standing in a gulch?
Leo Cox
Also I will counter this by naming two examples where it has worked Mega64 DSP
That's it. Unless you're Mega64 or DSP then it's time to give up aspirations of doing this the rest of your life.
Lincoln Barnes
I actually just got into giant bomb podcast a few months ago. I think it's pretty decent. I know everyone says it was way better back when, but I still find it pretty enjoyable to hear Jeff, Jason and Brad tell stories about fucked up early 2000s game journo stuff. I like Jan and Ben as well, but I'm guessing that's a sin in the eyes of the old community.
Landon Hill
Pat is such an insufferable faggot
Jace Reed
>that little peek of underboob Fuck what anyone thinks I absolutely would
The only good video with Alanah I can think of is the one with her, Rahul, Jon and Jacob. That was probably one of the best Funhaus videos this year.
Ryder Flores
Mega 64 had to resort to Patreon and even then they're always bummed out at how low their view count is. I bet Derrick leaves anyday now.
David Collins
You guys said the same shit about Ray and he's doing fine.
Chase Carter
Yeah. He needs a dynamic. He worked best with Matt because on was foil for the other. But his self awareness is enough to propel him over the other attempts who lack any self awareness at all. Watching an oaf play a video game while convincing himself that he's a genius is frustrating. Watching an oaf play a video game, flailing around with 'haha imma dumbass' is comedy. Which is why he seems to be the most popular streamer out of all of them.
Jacob Cook
>they're always bummed out at how low their view count is People have been saying this literally since they started.
David Hernandez
Are there any /kino/ groups left out there? Or new groups that give that sort of feel? >RT has been shit for a very long time >Giant Bomb has lost most of it's soul >RLM gets less and less entertaining.
Never got into Funhaus or Mega64. I'm just looking for a group of guys who bullshit and talk about stuff.
Jaxon Evans
>Derrick leaves anyday now Derrick has always been fucking moody, he was even that way back to when they were on uStream and their set was the campsite. He’s been memed to be “leaving any second” just like DSP has been memed to be destined to be a failure despite outliving 95% of let’s players.
That user was right unless you’re mega64 or DSP, give up.
Ryan Rogers
ray is charismatic, bruce isn't
Owen Price
RT died the day they sold out to Fullscreen.
Carter Price
no because to was 6 from episode 2 and went to like 12 before season 2 when I started watching.
Eli Rogers
I hate Alanah, but I appreciate that she was a force in bringing back IG. Unbearable in videos, though. Like a less funny zommer Adam.
Levi Cook
You might not know anything
Christopher Gomez
can Yea Forums play video games instead of watching boomers play or talk about video games and relaying shit about them?
Mason Robinson
Like a podcast or gameplay stuff? Twitch has a lot of old guard people with their own shows that are alright but that's hit or miss
Oliver Bell
did you even watch a minute of his streams? dude is not streamer material
Matthew Murphy
god i wish whole damn show needs a rewrite
Anthony Watson
I can't play video games when I'm ear-deep in an arcade board, so I have gameplay videos or twitch streams on.
