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

[Bored & Confused]

I remember I was picking up wings for the Super Bowl when I heard the news. I was quite saddened. The next day, when all the tributes from the people at Rooster Teeth started pouring out, I knew instantly that they were going to fuck Monty's legacy into the mud. And they did. This guy was promised he could start work on RWBY if he finished RvB season ~9~? in time for the announced release date. He did, but at the cost of missing the chance to see his mother one last time before she died of cancer. All that sacrifice. All those thirty hour days. Just for, what amounted to, his life's work to get raped and pillaged in the end. Damn shame.

He died before all the tranny faggotry and political derangement really took off. Imagine if he had lived. There is the very real possibility that he would have eventually had to give in to the alphabet mafia. Become a tranny-loving faggot stricken with Trump derangement syndrome. Possibly even troon out.
I'd rather not think about that.


Ten years. Huh...

That is also a possibility. However, let me play devil's advocate and direct your attention to his 2014 Halloween costume.

Dresses are a slippery slope.

Took a swing by the Minnmax Reddit to see what Alanah was up to for her month of employment - amazing thumbnails happening here.

"How fucking dare men ask for skimpy dressed women in vidyagamez. Wot? Hold on, let me thirst over Octodaddy."

Why can't she just get off any sort of social media and shut up?

In a big fuck you all to the haters, Rooster Teeth is back.

Spoiler: Letter from Burnie

Hiya.

Almost one year ago, we were all saddened to learn that Rooster Teeth would be shutting its doors. Today, I am very happy to say that I have completed an acquisition of the Rooster Teeth brand and many of its remaining properties.

The details of all this would be too much to communicate in a letter on a website, so please tune in to the February 5 episode of the Morning Somewhere podcast below if you want to find out more. Or you can check out the press release.

There is a lot of work to do around here before our re-launch. In the meantime, I hope that you will join me in welcoming back a brand that has been so important to so many people for so many years.

Stay tuned. More to come.

They're still going to tell large parts of the fanbase to fuck off (repeatedly). Unless they plan to make content only for the left camp, and budget accordingly, they're just gonna be broke again in a couple of years.

I was legit checking the other day which company was currently in the Stage 5 set.

What's the ratio of ex-RT people coming back in droves to this new enterprise, or will it be mostly a poorly thought out honeypot that will lure in the worst DEI hires ever?

 

[literalwho?]

As of now, only Burnie and Ashley are working there. They're in talks with Matt Hullum for a new show or something, and that's pretty much it, for now. Doubt they'll go after exemployees, specially those that have independent projects, unless they're up for a temp contract.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

I just want Joel to cameo even if it's just to laugh before saying he's never coming back.

But if they are independent, they wouldn’t be losing money, as they would no longer be a part of Warner Bros. Their flagship title, RWBY, is owned by Viz Media. The closest I see them getting the rights to are Red vs. Blue, that giant robot show starring a black clone, and maybe Camp Camp. The math doesn’t add up unless they use Patreon to cover the remaining bills. It doesn’t really make sense.

RvB has negative interest as of it's final season, they literally can not afford the robot shit show, I don't think campcamp has much draw. They're better off ignoring all of that shit.

What? Has Burnie ran out of money already that he has to resurrect Rooster Teeth?

What? Has Burnie ran out of money already that he has to resurrect Rooster Teeth?

Rumors have persisted for years that Burnie's net worth was millions of dollars (the most common number being 5mil). Considering he was kind of able to "retire early" in the form of leaving Rooster Teeth behind to seemingly just chill and herd sheep in some unknown Scandinavian country, it seems likely he had a good nest egg. Assuming he had even a fraction of that 5mil and invested it properly, and then if Rooster Teeth was valued for peanuts since no one else would want it, it could have been a purchase that wasn't a major financial risk/hit. I'd speculate bringing "back" Rooster Teeth is more a point of pride, since he created it in the first place, the same vibe I got when he came back to work on the final season of Red vs Blue that released right before the company died. And maybe it's just something to keep him busy if he's gotten restless herding sheep or whatever he's been doing (a theory also supported by his start of his podcast last year with Ashley after years of no Internet presence).

I swear I remember someone on KF predicting that Bernie would buy the company back. Was it Null on a podcast?
But what a turn of events!
Will DEI be back on the menu or will Trump's mandates be followed and enforced!
I'm giddy

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I wish that they stayed dead.

 

[Hugbox Kommissar]

On the one hand, kudos to Burnie for resurrecting the brand that he poured so much of his life into. On the other hand, the problem was never with the brand but the people making the content. You can't roll the clock back to 2014 because the people who made the content we all loved are either doing their own thing (Ray, Gavin, Geoff), no longer funny (Jeremy, Jack), or literally fucking dead (Monty). Maybe it's still possible to recapture some of the old spirit with a new project under the old name but I guaranteed this will end badly if you just reboot RvB for the 80th time.

 

[p1138]

Wasn't expecting that, but I also don't quite understand what Burnie is expecting to get out of it. Their IPs are either in a state of being trash, or not even owned by them. The RT brand itself was grossly mismanaged for basically a fucking decade. There's no audience to continue selling old media to, and uploading old videos isn't going to be getting much for views.

This reminds me of Stuttering Craig talking about wanting to buy back ScrewAttack on his podcast(before it became grifter nonsense), wtf is the point?

If anything it seems like the smarter move if he really wanted to get back into media, would be something new and completely divorced from RT other than to point out "hey, this is from one of the guys that made content at RT back when people still liked us"

 

[Mac Monster]

What made Rooster Teeth worthwhile were the personalities involved, and nearly all of them have turned into obnoxious assholes. Unless Burnie finds suitable replacements (extremely unlikely), then I expect this to go the route of the G4 revival and die after a year.
