Rooster Teeth / Achievement Hunter / Let's Play / Funhaus / Inside Gaming - The company was resurrected.

I hope WB reboots RWBY for the salt.

Or, and hear me out here, let RWBY die. Rebooting it isn't gonna help

It was even dumber than that if I recall correctly. One of them was whining about Piers Morgan being at the same restaurant as them and posted a picture of him with Barbara making a weird face. Piers saw it and mistook her for a fan (they literally tagged him in the tweet, just to make it clear) and said it was fine if she came over to say hello. That's when they accused him of being a creep. Andy for some reason jumped in with some random cringe and it basically fell apart from there. I'm pretty sure the RT subreddit was actually defending Piers in this situation because he had no idea who they were, and somebody took a picture of their friend with him in the background intentionally and tagged him in it.

EDIT: Because I wanted this to be as factual as I could, here's better context. It's a lot worse than I remembered specifically because Barb and Lindsay had complained about their fans doing this a week or two prior and Andys cringe was him tweeting "your worst nightmare."

Burnie, as always, having the most level-headed response to the affair while Barbara tries to deflect her shitty opinion.

Poor Piers Morgan--no, seriously. Being harassed by religious or political fanatics is never fun, which is what these Woke idiots eventually became, which--alongside lack of creativity--is ultimately one of the major factors that killed their business.

I remember RT's infamous If you're not with us - this isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure post on Twitter, which unnecessarily antagonized thousands of fans, which in turn begs the question, why would you deliberately alienate thousands of fans in one of the most fiercely competitive spaces in the entertainment industry? It makes no sense from a business (or any other) standpoint.

 

[Rabbi Palpenstein]

Hence why I state that Trevor is one of the reasons RT is dead, and the reason Achievement Hunter died. It was more important to achieve DEI goals that are not enforced, in Texas of all places, then have genuinely good talent on set to build chemistry for videos.

Every single decision that weasly little faggot made fucked AH into the dirt. Plus, judging by the looks of things, he was a real thin skinned little fag too and didn't take too well to the typical razzing the group will give everyone when it was directed at him. Michael and Gavin got real fucking nervous when Ray came back for that Off Topic and started making fun of him, while Geoff doesn't care and Jeremy didn't seem to know better and was too lost in fanboying to notice

Because BLM and social justice is a religion and they have a religious zeal that cannot be satiated.
They thought the true believers were sufficient and they would continue to get unlimited ESG bucks as long as they had the right politics.

Hold on, Game Kids Trevor??

 

[Rabbi Palpenstein]

Hold on, Game Kids Trevor??

Still blows my mind that he got put in charge of AH after that cringy little fuckup. Though i'm pretty sure it's because no one else could be bothered to do it when Lindsay stepped down

The only reason he got that position was because Barbara, the town bike, would have thrown a shit fit otherwise.

Didn't they only start dating after he was already the boss at AH?

I think so too. I believe she was dating Aaron Marquis at the time?

 

[Gondola Enjoyer]

Yeah, I think so, and Trevor was dating some other girl.

I think he was the only other Jew around Barbara’s age at Roosterteeth and she most likely got him the job. I really do think Barbara was one of the poisons killing the company, she had the most woman moment (flippant) responses to criticism and basically wormed her way into the company deeper and deeper.

I’m not saying this from antisemitism, I’m saying this from hatred of leafs. She was literally the polar opposite of a Texan.

As a side note, I always thought the Let's Play Network was a terrible idea. I was a fan of AH at the time, as they hadn't started hiring niggers yet. I never got into the other groups, though, and most AH fans didn't. Whenever they made a video with AH and another group, there was no chemistry at all, and it was just bad.

The lack of chemistry was one thing that it was blatant to see when Overwatch was the big game being played, and every video of Funhaus against The Creatures or ScrewAttack were painful to watch.

Not to mention the huge missed opportunity with the absolute fucked handling of Sideshow, which could have brought in Tomatogaming, Criken and Bedbanannas (and likely more content creators given they have huge network of close content creator friends and contacts) if RT had bothered to check if the name had been trademarked before telling them it wasn't when it was.

When I saw Criken on Open Haus, I thought he was going to be part of the Let's Play family, but then I didn't hear anything on it. What's the story behind it?

There were so many fucking red flags with Trevor that at some point you would think somebody would told him to either fuck off or get his shit together. He took an improv class and decided that was what AH needed the most, despite people constantly complaining about. His idea of hiring an "algorithm and trends consultant" to help with channel views despite people posting what they wanted. He was in over his head and it was fucking obvious he had little to no idea on what he was doing or how to do it.

Criken and two other people were going to join the LPF (Lets Play Family) as a group called Sideshow. RT confirmed that the name was go and gave them the greenlight for it. Turns out Sideshow was trademark and immediately took umbrage with Criken trying to market it. It left Criken and the two others with a bad taste in their mouths and they basically never really had any business dealings with RT after that.

So what you’re saying is, In my description for Trevor I was being exceptionally nice? Damn. I doubt there will be another segment but I’ll make sure to put down more notes just for him.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Or, and hear me out here, let RWBY die. Rebooting it isn't gonna help

Anything can be salvaged if it's fixed right. A full reboot, once with real animation rather than janky cel-shaded models, might be good. But this is modern Hollywood and a show about girls being bad asses is not going to be anything less than shit.

Hold on, Game Kids Trevor??

I have no idea who he sucked off for the job but I'm betting they regret it now. Also, Ray's reaction is still one of the best.

I'd say it was pretty succinct, I don't think it would have made a difference if you added "hates being mocked despite working with ACHIEVEMENT HUNTER and forces editors to remove shit making fun of him, and the only time it slipped through was on a livestream"

Was there something particularly up with Game Kids? I liked AH at the time, just never watched it because it obviously wasn't for me.

That reaction from Ray, even he knows there’s something fucking wrong if Trevor is now suddenly in charge. Geoff doesn’t care, hell Im genuinely getting LowTax vibes from how everything has played out. Geoff gave up and chose to do nothing and lost everything in the end.

It was supposed to be more "kid oriented" but Trevor being the incompetent retard he is, it flopped hard and died in 2 years
