Sad but not unexpected. Rooster Teeth hasn’t been Rooster Teeth in a long time.
When do you think they stopped being Rooster Teeth?
I know there's a ton of Youtube essays on it but I'm more interested in hearing people's personal thoughts.
For me, probably somewhere between the second lazer team movie and gen:lock as that's when they truly stopped being creative "new media" studio and tried to just become another tradionally media studio, except they didn't have the budget or the talent to really do so. And gen lock was really the final nail in the coffin as for one, it was truly just dogshit and 2 they focused so hard on any star power they could get and forced all their talent to shill for it and you could always tell how soulless and corporate it was at that point.
They even shelved and cannibalize other, cool, projects for that CG nightmare
Imo, they are still RT. They had constantly shifted what was their primary content. Right now it seems to be podcasts which is actually remaining. I listen to one of them myself and I've been curious about getting into a couple others.
Which one are you listening to?
I get what you mean about their primary constant shifting. For me it was the people shifting that bugged me. I don't know if I'd know any of the names on the Rooster Teeth podcast these days.
Now it's just ANMA, which is just Gus, Geoff, and Eric talking about Austin and how things have changed.
I actually switched from RT Podcast to ANMA when Gus stepped away. It was fine. But not something I'm going to commit to every week.
I might get back into Black Box Down. I dropped off when I watched all they had at the time.
