Rooster Teeth is being shut down by WB Discovery and its IPs will be sold off.

I think the studio was far past its prime but still i will mourn for it.

Red vs Blue was such a great show.

It was. And let's not forget when Monty Om (Rip) introduced full 3D animated combat into the series. Fucking amazing shit that elevated the medium.

That was so long ago.

I know I still have an ancient backup disc with downloads of those first few seasons.

I prolly oughtta make sure I've gone and gotten whatever DVDs/BluRays I'm still missing.. I've kinda lapsed on collecting that after a while. I think I've not even watched several seasons... but I still felt like it was a good thing to support Monty Oum's final work.

Are we at least allowed to take solace that the IPs are being sold off and not being deleted from the worlds forever as a tax dodge?

They can pry my ancient QuickTime files from my cold, dead hands.

RWBY fans plead for 'rescue'

Yeah... idk. 10+ years is a damn good run, and... if they couldn't tell the story they wanted to tell in that time, I can't really feel that bad.

Don't get me wrong, I loved it at the start. But.. maybe I was too optimistic in thinking they had an idea of where the story was headed.

RWBY was done after Monty died he was sorely missed

[rpgamer]

I don't entirely disagree, however, I'm also willing to take staff accounts that he wasn't really exactly involved so much in the writing and direction of the show. So, I wouldn't rule out the possibility it still wouldn't have reached this point regardless.

Especially if you consider the likelihood of him feeling ready to move on or start new projects in this time frame. The man was a machine and surely would've felt the creative pull towards something new.

I'll miss his contributions to the show, but I'll miss his contributions to the industry even more. I'll forever wonder how animation could've been changed/influenced as he continued to grow.
