The mothers be aware demo disk saga still remains one of my favourite things to come out of funhaus. It was peak following them along trying to unlock that song, getting the original developers on for the finale. It was a good ending. It really started to die when bruce left and the whole adam situation really killed it. I do wonder what Adam is up to these days yeah he acted like a degenerate but I feel like he got lumped into all the Ryan stuff.
I also don't watch Deathbattle but RWBY (RT's magnum opus) was alleged (as per Barbara) to cost ~$30,000 per minute so other ex-RT productions paying obscenely high costs to produce is on brand. As a price per minute - that amount is insane and more expensive than the next 8 animes combined.
Demo Disk was fantastic, best thing they did on FH, but Steam Roulette and the gameplay series it spawned are the highlight of both their channels for me. "SINS Episode: Emergence", "Dark Messiah of Might and Magic", "Sims 3: The Cunt Life" and of course Jo Wood's "The Adventures of John Chaser"
I still watch this video from time to time just to reminiscence. Those and the songs that Bruce would parody for Demo Disk were great.
how did they fuck it up so badly that LP wasn't profitable? they had a huge gaming library so they wouldn't even need to buy new games for ages and they had years of videos that would give passive income. i'm guessing they just kept hiring more and more people which made it unprofitable, if they had just kept it small it would still be making good money...
self censorship, trying to cater to an audience of children that didnt exist and hiring niggers no one wanted to see, ie the leadership of gamekids Trever Collins.
Probably just significantly irresponsible with money. I bet when it first took off and was actually doing huge numbers they started spending like crazy but as things started to fall off they didn't cut the spending to match the decline.
The Adpocalypses probably hurt them because Roosterteeth even in the later part of the 2010's wasn't family friendly.
Constantly breaking office equipment doesn't help either.
yea i saw a compilation of the destruction they did to their office, the worst thing they did back when i still watched them was ryan cutting that hole in gavin's desk and putting the motor in it.
After they moved to the warehouse and got new desks Jeremy did a kung fu kick to Gavin's new desk and broke it clean in half plus destroyed like three computer moniters, an Xbox, and probably a couple of other things that were on and beneath the desk. In his defense the desk was already completely fucked to shit before he kicked it, but still, thousands of dollars in damage. Hope the views were worth it.
These videos were funny, but they always made Rooster Teeth come across as disingenuous when they tried to present themselves as a serious company. I imagine working there as anyone but the on-screen personalities would have been a truly miserable experience.
Adam's got the short end of the stick for a few reasons:
Yeah Adam got shafted hard. I felt bad after the second round of allegations came out and Bruce and James just completely threw him under the bus despite the fact they knew about this shit since Inside gaming but didnt say anything about it until almost 8 years later.
How false must you be if, in front of the camera you all act like friends and what not, knowing all the bad shit your coworker has done, but then after allegations are coming out, you throw him under the bus?
As soon as the mob came to save their face they threw Adam into it to basically keep their careers. Im surprised James, Bruce, Lawrence and Elyse havent been getting cancelled with some of the jokes theyve said in the past especially early on in funhaus.
I dunno, I think that specifically is pretty fucked up. Maybe worse than Ryan fucking some bipolar skanks.
They sacrificed others to the Blood Gods for a brief period safety and then ducked out of the public light mostly. As long as they keep regurgitating "trannies gud conservatives bad" on Twitter, they are fine.
