IT'S FRICKING OVER: ROOSTER TEETH IS SHUTTING DOWN AFTER 21 YEARS

Same but when they changed the podcast name from drunk tank

he still made me laugh because he started talking about the election and then the sheep or whatever bites him and he goes "JEEZ FINE I GET IT NO POLITICS". the first time i've laughed at something from them in 5 years, and he wasn't even affiliated with them anymore

Carp has been away negotiating the rights and I can now proudly announce that https://www.rdrama.net/chat is the new home of RWBY.

originally it was the people who made Red Vs Blue, a Halo machinima back when video game youtube videos were still considered funny. nothing of importance happened after that unless you're a gay nerd

Yeah

Also this is the perfect time to post your kino review

Frick LNER for shutting the east coast main line and causing me to miss this.

The RT subreddit jannies have "temporarily" suspended rule 6. Rule 6 says "6. Do not come here to complain about how "RT is dead"."

Not enough views, mostly

Achievement Hunter had some videos pop off after announcement they're shutting down (I think, didn't watch it), but before that, they were floating between 10-50k views per video

Funhaus? Around 50k/video

Inside Gaming was mostly sub 10k, on a channel with 1.2m subscribers

Very common for old channels, at some point, you stop growing as people simply don't need to watch 6th year of you doing a gimmick/having a parasocial internet friend, and the views start going down. Not good when you have dozens of employees. Reinventing yourself rarely works, loads of people will be alienated because many were still there for your gimmick, if you lose one of the OG's it's even worse since the people who were there for parasocial reasons leave too.

all the actually funny people got ran out of town over money related things or being s*x pests. then they decided that virtue signaling was more important than good content.

Too many employees, not enough talent, r-slurred leadership, r-slurred community manager, racial diversity bullshit

>Why do you always doublepost?

>Anyway, too many employees, not enough talent, or?

They are Austin, Texascels who drank California grade wokism but didn't have ANY of the California chuds or safety rails to rein in their bullshit and quickly alienated their fanbase.

Is the bottom Ace Combat?

I know all of ten people here care about the RWBY story but they gave the girls so many L's lately I'm not sure how they were ever going to defeat Salem and Cinder

I'll give the show credit for destroying their high school and forcing them to go get real jobs way back in Volume 3. Problem is the six volumes since then should've been enough to move the story further than it is now.

Acceptance

Melancholy

Pretty mild reactions so far. This wasn't a surprise.

This is the first comment on the first thread I clicked on in rwbycritics:

It's strange, while my countrymen cheer the beast's fall, I feel a strange melancholy, after all these years, what once was filled with majesty and pride, goes out not with a blaze of glory, but a whimper in the dark.

So that's how they're taking it

they'd been trying to basically give it away for $10 for ages and no one wanted it

Destroy the IP, remove all footage from the Internet and aggressively pursue rehosters. I want anyone who even mentions the word RWBY to be sued by Warner Bros.

Ironically RT would have run out of money years ago without him propping them up.
