Rooster Teeth is shutting down!

Don't forget to archive the shows you care about, https://roosterteeth.com certainly won't function without the company!

You never know when you would want to rewatch it and on which streaming service it would end up... If not become lost media, that is.

With official confirmation that Rooster Teeth is being shut down and WB looking to sell off their properties, including Gen:Lock, it's likely that RT's site will go down soon, and WB will remove their properties from HBO. So I am again going to circulate my drive link for S1.

May the creations of the chicken company live on in the hands of the fans who love them.

About Mech Pilots:

There are many different kinds of mech pilots. But they can be arranged into a spectrum with monotask on one side and multitask on the other.

Multitask pilots have a life and skill sets outside of their combat vehicle. They can still be dangerous without their ride because of their tactical and political acumen. Examples of such pilots can be found in Titanfall, Lancer, and Battletech/Mechwarrior.

Monotask pilots are essentially organic control devices mounted inside the mech. They have slightly more personality and agency than other system components like an autoloader or jet thrusters. But the pilot is just as useless as those things if removed from the greater whole. Examples of these pilots can be found in Armored Core and Warhammer 40,000.

There are pilots that can fall between these extremes such as conscripted civilians, venerated sacrifices, or artificial intelligences. Examples of these beings can be found in Mobile Suit Gundam, Gen:Lock, or, again, Warhammer 40k.

There's no wrong way to portray pilots. That being said, I'd love to read stories where pilots from across the spectrum interact with each other.

The thing that gets me about Rooster Teeth being shut down isn’t that it’s happening, frankly the company revealing that RWBY was never profitable was a damning indictment of how they ran their business, but the news that they want to sell their original IP is baffling, mostly because of how little value it has.

Red vs Blue at the end of the day might be the easiest sale, it was done with the help of Microsoft who owns Halo, sell it to them and have it as part of the franchise in-house without having to share with Warner.

RWBY? If you had done this two years ago, Crunchyroll would have been happy to add it to their originals, but now, they’re disinterested in original content. I suppose that you could sell it to a Japanese company or someone who distributed through Crunchyroll or Netflix, but if that happens, it will be rebooted with non-crap animation, massive changes to the story, and probably throwing out most if not all of the late Monty Oum’s restrictions.

And then there’s gen:Lock. You remember gen:Lock? If you need a refresher, it was the show that RT executive Grey Haddock funded by stealing money from other projects, overworking temps and not paying overtime, only for Season 2 to be turned into a weird diatribe against mecha (because Western writers hate mecha and anything that uses it un-ironically as more than a box on legs) that suggested that maybe one of the main characters was right to kill themselves because the world is screwed. Sounds like a real winner, especially when Michael B. Jordan, the producer and star, refuses to discuss the show anymore. Sounds like the bids are going to be around the block for that one!

So yeah, the question is less “why did Rooster Teeth shut down” and more “who wants the charred remains of what’s left?”

Man, not even a week and we already lost another legend. It really is the end of an era isn't it?

So... this was... wallop. Yet not entirely unexpected.

I think... some of the writing was on the wall. Even if he didn't get all trigger-happy, between RTX staff getting laid off among other cuts, a lot of mismanaged management persisting and RWBY being the one thing that was consistently keeping the lights on, this felt... disappointingly inevitable.

Make no mistake, dear ol' Davey-boy took the shot... but Rooster Teeth sadly made themselves too easy of a target. If not him, somebody else.

Also make no mistake, that this unwarned closure announcement wasn't disclosed to those still working. Another example of how the top brass never concern themselves with the "cog" of the machine as it were.

Heck, I ponder if Red Vs. Blue's final season was green-lit when they saw the signs. Might as well end things with how it all began. I hope Camp Camp has a good season finale around here to go out on.

Internet entertainment companies are often easy to get more tangibly mad at since a parasocial relationship is far more engendered compared to something too big to so much as approach like Disney.

It's also more easy to feel betrayed when some damn dirty laundry spills out from the hamper. The grassroots illusion of it all is snapped away. Made worse when there's a concerted effort to present themselves as getting with the times. Acknowledging, well, white people aren't the center of the universe.

But that doesn't mean that they deserved to go out like this. Nor that all they've done up to now never mattered.

The RWDE can drum up every "hot take" they can but RWBY is loved and popular for a damn good reason beyond what they may dismiss it as. Red Vs. Blue grew a ton from the basic Halo machinima of the early 2000s into a legitimate Halo spin-off. ZERO good actually BTW. It formed communities be it for love or just blowing off steam from being pissed to hell.

There may be a million "The Rise and Fall of-" videos waiting in the wings but they wouldn't even be a thought if Rooster Teeth wasn't what it was, warts and all. Some warts, yes, were more ugly than others.

Whoever worked there with all those warts, I hope to hell and back that this can be at least a good spot on your resume going forward.

Genuinely want to know who the hell would buy Gen:Lock? I can understand wanting to buy RWBY or RvB, but Gen:Lock?

Not just that but Gen:Lock is still being brought up as if it's not dead. I really wanna know what people could get out of the IP because it's not appealing to me at all and the finale was outrageous.

- I will also write ocs! Please give me a reference sheet (must be in one of the mentioned fandoms above)

The prices are set, they are only 5-10 dollars or 15+ 5 per chapter no matter the complexity, so don't worry about asking too much, any kind of money will help.

#my dads in big trouble #and he needs a layer to get his disability #ninjago #gen:lock #genlock #warcraft #signal boost #world of warcraft #rwby #these are just the communities that I can remember I’m in #I’m sure there’s more #after I get TSIAD chapter one out I will be completely focused on writing for these #but hey it’s writing! #even if it’s desperate lol #forgot to add VT #Taleblr #this is what yall use now right?

Farewell Rooster Teeth

Wow...21 years. For many people the shows from Rooster Teeth have been a part of many individual's childhood, past times, and for some their very identity. It started with Red vs Blue for me, then I found RWBY, but the seires which will truly hurt most with the disolving of company is Death Battle. I have longed looked forward to new Death Battles and the interesting facts they present about different characters. I can only hope there is a way for some of this series to continue. The fans deserve it.

While I have made it a goal in recent years to call out RT for being shit this news still is a shock and my heart goes out to all of the hard working amazing people who will lose their jobs.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ROOSTER TEETH IS SHUTTING DOWN

#innermonologue #rooster teeth #rwby #red vs blue #gen:lock #camp camp

[dynared]

Weirdly, I find myself invested in the fate of Rooster Teeth when I stopped watching most of their stuff years ago, save being weirded out at the Justice League crossover with RWBY (and being infuriated Rooster Teeth animated both parts instead of Part 1 in Remnant being done by Rooster Teeth and Part 2 in Metropolis being done by the people handling DC's current batch of DTV animation). Maybe some of that is enjoying the company that made the hate letter to mecha gen:Lock squirm, maybe some of it is the idea that these properties could have been big if someone had zagged when they zigged, went a different way with a story, etc. Maybe, like a lot of other people, I was just disappointed when RWBY Ice Queendom wasn't a full-on remake of the series done by actual animators in SHAFT vs. what I've dubbed "Rooster Teeth Vision", the Blender-animated visuals that pale to visuals from companies like Studio Orange. But I think I'm just attracted to concepts that never got over the hump, the franchises, and films that die in development, the incomplete behind-the-scenes stories, etc.

I think after seeing everyone talk and the discussions of who's interested in buying RWBY from statements and podcasts, I have some good news and some bad news, depending on your opinion on the franchise.

The good news - There is definitely someone interested in buying RWBY (maybe not gen:Lock).

The bad news - Given that Warner is only allowing Rooster Teeth its 60-day sunset period to find a buyer for the IP before taking over proceedings and selling it directly, that potential buyer probably has zero interest in hiring Dillon Goo, the CRWBY, and probably wants to call a do-over on the franchise. A full-on reboot is going to happen if someone buys after the 60 days are up.

I've gone over options in other posts for potential homes for RWBY if Warner declares open season from the likely (Crunchyroll/Sony facilitating a sale to a Japanese partner, given their own disinterest in owning IP vs. being a middleman) to the less-likely but vastly different (A mobile game company turning the IP into the basis for a gatcha game in the vein of Honkai Star Rail or Genshin Impact) to the "Utterly goddamn hilarious but not likely" (Nacelle buying the IP and making RWBY the centerpiece of their shared universe with the likes of the Biker Mice from Mars, the C.O.W.Boys of Moo Mesa, and Sectaurs: Warriors of Symbion). But in pretty much every scenario, from the mundane to the ridiculous, one thing remains consistent.

No one who buys RWBY after the 60-day time period is going to have any interest in continuing the series from where it left off. At most, Dillon Goo seems to be positioning himself as the guy to hire as a showrunner/property steward for the potential reboot no matter who the new owner is.

But that might be a bit of a blessing.

Even if you're a fan of RWBY, I point to the utter disaster that was HBO Max's attempts at continuing gen:Lock after its first season did OK on Toonami, but was a lightning rod for the practices that affected Rooster Teeth, ranging from employee abuse to embezzlement. The second season was an utter disaster. What are the odds that an attempt to pick RWBY up where it left off wouldn't suffer the same issues? To that I say, just reset it rather than let its corpse shamble about.

As for gen:Lock, I'll give you $10 for it. Sell it in the next 72 hours and I'll throw in a keychain absolutely free.
