What about RWBY?
From the article:
WBD also will be exploring options for Rooster Teeth’s catalog content and IP such as Red vs Blue, RWBY and Gen:LOCK.
Looks like they’ll either retain or sell the IP.
Of all people I kinda hope RWBY goes to CrunchyRoll, it's the only place that would keep things cannon. God knows WB would fuck it up by themselves.
My faith in CR original content is not high since all of their WEBTOON adaptations bombed. Solo Leveling is the only one to not be awful.
RWBY's a big enough IP that a bunch of companies will likely be interested. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney, Paramount, Netflix, Amazon, and Sony (Crunchyroll) all made bids of some kind for it.
Aw, RIP. Guess time comes for us all in the end, and I hadn't been watching for nearly a decade. Congratulations for lasting as long as you did.
This sucks.
The podcasts were the main thing I interacted with nowadays so I’m glad those are sticking around, but I grew up with the company and it’s sad to see it go. I hope the roost can continue but I don’t see how this doesn’t hurt the remaining talent.
They should have made more reality shows to appeal to Zaslav.
/s of course. Another creative team shut down after being bought out. At this rate Killed by Google will need a side project for Zaslav.
"Xbox 360... How did I miss versions 2 to 359" Or something like that, probably been 15 years, good times
“Never say goodbye. If you don’t say goodbye you aren’t really gone. You just aren’t here right now.”
I remember watching Red vs. Blue back before it was even on Youtube. Fuck I'm old. That was the era of the internet that, for me, was at its best. Before everything became a collection of solidified super services and people made shows by just moving a character model in Halo around. As others have said, the true end of an era. Also RIP to Monty Oum. Man was an auteur. Horny weirdo, too, but also an auteur.
What does this mean for other channels, like Funhaus?
They'll have to keep making the same juvenile milquetoast commentary and regurgitated gaming news on a different youtube channel. Half of their traffic can be attributed to Alanah and her drama that has nothing to do with their content.
Does this mean F*ck Face too? Those guys only just started making some amazing content on the old Let's Play channel.
The podcast network is still going, they shared a post on their YouTube. Unsure on the status of officially licensed Ratyboy shirt
Yeah, I've been able to find a post on Twitter as their current situation which isn't much, unfortunately. I know it's really shitty to make this about me or even other fans in a similar situation but as someone who stopped watching RT something like 5 years ago when all of the big changes started happening and multiple new hosts I didn't like, came back when F*ckface took over the Let's Play channel and started making more of the type of content I used to love so much only for them to get shutdown (and not even know it was coming) sucks so freaking much. Hell, they've only just posted the first video of a month's worth of content. It's shit like this that makes me absolutely loathe the corpo scum.
Or embedded image for those who don't want to give Twitter the traffic:
Damn. Now Death Battle is gonna disappear forever.
