Be sure to read @BoomhauerInTheWind's great RT writeup from a few days ago if you haven't already: Dying company Rooster Teeth openly admits they're running out of money. The employeees cope in the thread..
What's happened now?
RT appear to be going for the "boiling frogs" method of shutting down, by closing individual departments one by one. A few days ago it was RTX (their annual convention), today it's their female-focussed network All Good No Worries, which barely lasted a year. This is the third time that their all-female podcast Always Open (aka the finger me podcast) has been put on hiatus. And before you ask, yes one of the main "talent" was a 
(she's so insufferable that I stopped watching Funhaus entirely).
Whoever would have guessed that a female network for a community based around Halo machinima wouldn't be profitable?
Next up on the chopping block is probably Dogbark, a horrendous half-sketch half-gaming channel that was meant to distil the original Achievement Hunter vibe but instead was dead on arrival. They get 15k views per video and probably have 15-20 employees.
The /r/roosterteeth jannies are still banning anyone who expresses negativity but let's take a look at the comments anyway. There's a lot of blaming the economy rather than blaming RT being shit:
It's the typical boom and bust cycle for the US economy
You're really blaming Biden for AGNW shutting down? [this is me, I expect to shortly be banned from /r/roosterteeth for a 9th time]
I have a feeling this is the first bad announcement of many coming within the next year, it's been a brutal time for tech and media companies
Someone thinks that RT's problem is that RWBY is too successful:
RT has felt like it's gone in a million directions and rebrands for a few years now
It has, thanks in no small part to AH, RT Podcast, and FH losing the personalities that made them so popular, plus RWBY ballooning into a phenomenon that simply eats resources
Someone hire this guy to solve RT's problems. He has his finger on the pulse of the modern youth. A puppet show is all they're missing.
this channel had so much potential. i enjoyed all the shows. it was the right amount of cozy and chaotic. i felt this was coming, though. what a bummer...
i'd love if How Hard Could It Be? and Please, Be Nice to Me could continue on the Funhaus channel in the future. or just some form of "get high and make shit with Lindsey" and "gameshow hosted by Charlotte". Elyse needs a puppet show, too. she didn't have one on AGNW but she should have one anyway.

RoosterTeeth is one of those names I see all of the time online and I still have zero idea what they actually do.

That's because they do a lot of stuff. They are a "production company". Originally they just did machinima Red Vs Blue, but then they started doing sketch videos, podcasts, lets plays, animated series (2d and 3d), dramatic shows, movies etc.

They used to just be a small group of guys making funny Halo videos
Then they decided to get big, made up their own characters to do stories about, and hired a guy who actually knew how to animate
Then he fricking dropped dead
And somehow the company still exists all these years later

You're selling it short. He died because of allergy shots he took because his pornstar wife wouldn't get rid of her cats.

Apropos of nothing but I can't help reading RT as Russia Today (aka Putin's Fox News alternative) which makes all these Rooster Teeth posts more entertaining for me.

Tbt the time some RT booker fricked up bad by not understanding the difference between newfangled magatard "we love Russia because they hate gays or sth, yeah?" rightoids and old school "I would gladly trade the life of my firstborn child to see Moscow engulfed in a mushroom cloud" paleocons.

Sorry I meant Dogbark. I haven't watched a second of any of their content and YouTube isn't recommending it to me even though I have 10 years of watching RT in my YouTube history.

Hahaha some good shit in here. most of it is cope or mild hand wringing
Nooooo surely it's tech companies!!! not just that this media (NOT tech) company sucks peepee
normie waking up or god's least obvious dramanaut?
response from another fan:
Proof redditors are r-slurred neurodivergents that can't think critically. The old shirts were based off of jokes that resonated within the whole fan base. Nobody wants to buy a shirt based off of a slightly funnier moment in one of your 10000 view sketch video. Even if they do sell out I guarantee it's because they make far fewer shirts in each run. These ain't no βRyan the _____ Guyβ shirts (the blank was βinfidelityβ)
