What on EARTH happened??

What on EARTH happened??

They became obsessed with anime. Anime is not accessible to normal people.

Go woke go broke.

If only that were still true.

always shit

they let women in

Bought by big company that hollowed them out
Good people either died/left
Scandals and controversy to top it all off

That simple really.

...
chicken jockey?

anime not accessible to normal people

>implying anime and videogames don't have a massive overlap in audience

great b8. got me to reply.

They let Michael's girlfriend on the lets plays

This is the more succinct answer. The more mainstream they became, the more randoms came in, the more open to controversy they became. Their whole appeal early on was that they were a bunch of close friends doing what amounted to DnD via Halo that everyone got to watch.

I still don't understand how Burnie managed to shit all over his own work with his "Final" season. I assumed he might make something good since he seemed genuinely pissed about the wet fart it technically ended on, only to end on an even wetter fart? He was definitely capable of coming up with a good final season, so I wonder what drove him to shit out that utter fucking garbage

That was the start of the end for AH rather than RT as a whole, either Lindsey opening her mouth or Ray leaving were basically the catalysts.

I don't know but what are they doing now?

expand for no reason except money

new people are bringing in new style of thought that clashes with the old heads

the stuff that's wildly popular loses its luster

gaming team keeps losing their best

rvb gets worse and the introduction of rwby seems okay but it's clearly lacking polish outside of combat

monte dies, rwby is complete utter shit all across the board

podcasts get worse

sell out to make movies?

random controversies

kids originally watching it move on to something else

and worst of all everyone's beloved Geoff suffers the entire time

it was basically a corporation that had lightning in a bottle with the early internet, but everyone grew up around them, and subsequently everyone had different and better options.

I still think *them telling their conservative audience to fuck off and stop watching, just to be left with their liberal audience who loves the cancel culture weapon. Then when the controversies started rolling in, they nurtured a fanbase that would rake them over the coals rather than being adults and separating the bad actors from the rest of the good stuff. They never recovered. But being bought out by Fullscreen probably was the death knell of the company.

*Oh, and by "them" I mean Geoff and Jack during their BLM-era white-guilt crybaby streams. Like Geoff and Gavin didn't have a whole video where they made a game about stalking random girls (Connect the Hots).

I always thought they were cringe and not funny same as YouTube poop

Monty was a hack

Ray leaving was the very first domino. You could argue that the Minecraft/GTA fatigue that was affecting all of the guys was the start but losing a core member, especially one of the funniest ones, was a huge loss.

I also don't understand how people ever made the connection of "people must hate Fiona or Micah Burton because they're BROWN" when Ray was a celebrity to the audience.

As much as it hurts to say
Hiring Monty Oum and starting to actually take things "seriously" is what nuked the company.
Oh and obligatory

RoosterTeeth basically fired a dude for getting raped

Jack Patillo groomed a 15 year old fan and is currently married to them and everyone know.

Jack did that? Holy shit I have new respect for him now.

Dude the male feminist sexual predator is actually based

No

Women

Dude the male feminist sexual predator is actually based

Yes.

this

still got the original blood gulch dvd collection

Watching the bonus material on those is wild, seeing how young they all are, and how hopeful they are of their future, getting a new and bigger office after moving.

RoosterTeeth basically fired a dude for getting raped

quick rundown?

15 year old women are supposed to have children at that age. You are literally mentally ill if you think this is somehow wrong. Especially if he fucking married her. That is outright natural and an objective moral good. Kys.

Time grinds down even the mightiest stones.

why do people keep spreading bf that rumour about Jack? He met and started dating her when she was like 23

Also, Ryan KNEW how determined the internet was when looking into something, just like them hunting down the Ryan Gnome pics, why would he think he could hide cheating from them?

It always annoyed me how no one ever acknowledged those trashy sluts were perfectly fine helping a married man cheat on his wife just because he made them think they were “the one.” Yeah, you can say he initiated the cheating in the first place, but they all knew who he was. Homewrecking whores who all would’ve stayed quiet if the first bitch didn’t come out and make it clear that none of them were actually special.

Ray won. They did him dirty and even if his stream content for me personally isnt the best, he earned his escape

I hate what they did to funhaus

They honestly deserved it.

build up a smaller channel on the side

RoosterTeeth contract says "mine :)" and steals it all from him

man clearly becomes more depressed before he bows out

becomes more successful after escaping

Minecraft/GTA fatigue definitely helped but their jew hands stealing his shit was the tipping point

I do too buddy. Can people just not be sex pests in the office its not that hard

Right? fuck me man
Why fuck around when you have a lovely gf at home like wtf
if you are not enjoying just part ways and go fuck a whore

The final nail in the coffin was when they fired Joel.
