“I remember the first time I watched RVB. My dad had the first 5 seasons on DVD back in the day. I watched and listened and soaked up RT and AH and anything I could get my hands on. I even bought merch. So maybe 12 years I’ve been a fan? Was a fan. RoosterTeeth and everything associated with the company has lost what it had. The magical spark of a bunch of nerd friends having fun shooting dumb skits, playing video games, making machinima and talking about dumb stuff is gone. They spread their spirit so far it’s just dissolved. It’s all empty. It’s a shell. I’ve changed too. But I’m not the only one who sees this. I guess the younger audience won’t notice or care because they didn’t see what came before. I’d compare old RT to MK2 Spartans. New RT is just a MK3. More of it, fancier on the outside, but severely lacking where it counts. It hurts to see how far they’ve come, only for it to be the wrong direction. I guess this is success? Better equipment, more staff, money, audience... Well I’d give my left nut to have them back as what they were 10 years ago.
And now they’re shutting down.
Sad to know I saw this coming for years.
I guess it wasn’t success after all.
They couldn’t even fall with style.”
