RoosterTeeth Is Shutting Down

[@ImStrange_]

To all RWBY fans: do not panic quite yet. They are still looking for partners to sell RWBY to. I have no idea what this means for the future of the franchise, but it is not dead, and we can take solace in that. twitter.com/RobinRising_/status/1765433570519318807

[@chicofnaf7114]

I have seen some suggest it could be Sony, since with the whole Crunchyroll deal, but not sure Also I have seen one suggest Disney might buy which is..... ok

[@Dawnslight16]

Now it's time to say goodbye

[@ksaweryjanowski827]

Let's hope they'll find someone

[@jahhun676]

I really hope RWBY continues, I have been having a bad feeling since it took so long for Vol 10 to be greenlit.

[@harryjohnson9215]

It depends on who they get to write it If it the people who have been writing and directing it and know the world like the back of their hands then that's ok But they get someone new in then i don't feel 100% sure about what's to come

[@baziworld]

it makes me sad that rwby first lost Monty Oum, and now RoosterTeeth, i just hope that ,someone comes around and allow this show to keep breathing

[@SuperSaiyanD48]

All things come to an end.

Not only do I find out about this, I have to watch Fives’ death again too?! 😭

Me too. It's very harthbroken to see this

[@Revan3707]

Perhaps maybe EA and Disney will buy them and made a crossover with Cal Kestis.

Two sledgehammers of sadness for the price of one!

[@RWBYfangirl9320]

This is a nightmare and a heartbreak that came true for poor RT, to all of us and me but since RWBY not cancelled I got hope. I hope the VAs, the crew and CRWBY find another company so we can get volume 10 .

[@warfighter3128]

I still remember the old RvB days. That’s what brought me to Rooster Teeth. And then RWBY became such a big part of my life. I hope everyone who’s worked on all these projects can find new employers and they give them a shot to revive everything and especially volume 10! And Sidenote, thank you for all your edits! I don’t have time to comment on them much, but I appreciate them all the same!

[@ImStrange_]

Thanks for enjoying them!

[@tedgruver7618]

Why can’t David Sazlav just quit while he’s ahead?! He’s destroying Warner Brothers and their legacy!

[@darkskull9166]

What is he even doing at this point? What does he get from this that he still needs? I paid for Max for years even when they began taking down all the good animated shows and when they put up Velma. Now they think they can just take this and think they can get away with it? Oh, no. Say goodbye to Max!!

[@darkskull9166]

@kidmedianetworksofficial_USA you think that's funny? I am genuinely upset and you think that kind of joke will make me happy? You don't get the satisfaction of crushing me, commenter. Goodbhe

[@snapclub8751]

@kidmedianetworksofficial_USAIs that true? If it is then Death Battle shall live again! 🎉

[@Spartan555Vick]

Rooster Teeth maybe gone but it'll always be in our hearts, and it will never be forgotten. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go watch some OG RT shorts, AH, RVB, and of course RWBY to mend the hole in my heart.....RIP Rooster Teeth

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

Condolences for all the employees who worked at RT. Raise a candle for each one who worked their tail feathers to bring us our favourite webshows. I hope they get their ips sold to others who keep them breathing.

[@Justyouraverageghostva]

We had a good run, soldiers...

[@leighmercadokfphrdept.2197]

It hurts my heart 😢😢😢. I hope RWBY will be saved by either Crunchyroll or maybe Arc System Works 😢

[@Cheetahcat-1128]

Im not sure what will happen now, Rooster teeth been with us for years, m very worried about RWBY, RWBY chibi and camp camp how will they survive this.

[@bluejays25]

Gutted the company is closing as I was a big fan of things like RWBY, Let's Play and Murder Room. Hopefully, they can get a buyer for RWBY as we want Monty's Magnum Opus to continue.

[@kidprime6863]

And get the conclusion it so deserves.

[@tonytaylor5754]

I didn't know RT much but it introduced me to rwby the people behind it we're drew genius my condolences to rwby for the loss of there birthplace it will be gravely miss R.I.P ROOSTER TEETH may your makers find happiness in the future 0:39

[@jewelsdragonfly]

Warner Bros: All that work in getting rid of that Coyote is making me hungry. That Rooster looks delicious.

[@connergaskell1909]

Well this sucks immensely will say im very worried about RWBY now

[@Revan3707]

Above all, do not lament RoosterTeeth absence, for in my soul, I know that this is not the end, but merely a new beginning. Simply put, another transformation

[@DaniFoxx25]

Warner 🤝 Disney (Making fucking bad decisions)

[@kaiseropium]

ill hold onto that glimmer of hope that rwby, rvb, campcamp, nomad and the others can still live on, maybe crunchyroll will take on rwby? or perhaps the makers of rwby IQ will be interested in taking rwby fulltime? ill hold onto hope that the shows will continue somehow, IF worse comes to worse, the shows will still live on through the fans; we have so much fan art, fan animations, fan games etc.

[@alefb4015]

Oh boy, I never imagined something like this would happen. It is thanks to a friend of mine that I was introduced to RWBY and just when the series is starting to get intense, this happens. I’m going to quote Emerald right now: “Look, I’m just going to be super pissed if they decided to shut this down the moment I cared the most about this series!” I want RWBY to continue, I really do. This deserves to be finished and have an ending. I want them to defeat Salem and see Cinder getting her comeuppance!

[@silver_wolf02]

I know that at least in the case of RWBY, as well as the rest of RT's IPs, they can be acquired by other studios. It may not be the end for this series, but I don't want to take anything for granted either. What shocked me the most was that around 400 employees lost their jobs, and most of them found out via Twitter all of a sudden (as well as us fans) :/

[@irkenpony17]

I literally went "Wait what???" At seeing this in my recommended. I find out this news through a fucking sad meme- ☠️

[@sablebranwen2539]

This is a day that has sadly been looming on the horizon for a while now, but one I hoped would never come to pass. I owe Rooster Teeth so much. They inspired me to put myself out there creatively, and without them and RWBY, I might not be here today. Thank you for everything, guys. I love you all.

[@Erebus04]

Been watching Rooster Teeth content since I was in Jr High (so almost 15 years now) and while its not the same as it once was this was a sad sad day, I just hope that RWBY still has a future

[@supersonicheroes]

This is sad. So many great shows and memories. Red vs Blue, RABY, Death Battle, Camp Camp, and so many more.

[@dspace4514]

Even if RWBY itself doesn't die, I sadly think the show we have known for years is gone. If it gets picked up or bought or whatever, I highly doubt they are just going to produce one or two Volumes. We might get a reset on the entire show.

[@horrorpleb249]

No..... NO NO..... This may be the end for RWBY if they do not find a partner..... Its hard enough knowing we've got one last season of RVB coming to finalize that show entirely.. and now this?! Truly a dark time for the Roosterteeth community.

[@nnaemekaizuora1839]

Please tell me this isn’t true, I need more RWBY😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@batsdomain7057]

It has been a long journey and sadly all things must come to an end some day. For RoosterTeeth it was sooner than we had hoped. But with hope we will prevail. -some random guy

[@dragon-dojima8912]

Heartbreaking

[@Stellerman7]

I'm honestly fucking heartbroken, I knew that prick running Warner was going to kill the company eventually. I really hope RWBY lands on its feet somehow and that we get a proper conclusion to the original story...

[@jacobwilliams1223]

Hopefully its properties (RWBY and Camp Camp) find new life and continue on even with Rooster Teeth no longer with us. Just so surreal...

[@emeraldphoenix5868]

I know that some people watching this are Jumping for Joy and smiling with Glee(Mainly because of their decisions on each of their Shows) but this is Heartbreaking.
