Rooster Teeth Archive Update!

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 5, 2025

Rooster Teeth (the brand) has been (re)acquired by none other than Burnie Burns himself, click here to visit the RT site and listen to Burnie & Ashley Burns's podcast for all the details available at this time

I just wanted to shout out all of the people over at Archive of Pimps who've worked so hard on archiving 21 years of content across the RT site and YouTube channels. With the Rooster Teeth site shutting down in just about a week (on May 15, 2024), and the future of the YT channels unknown, this was a massive undertaking to quickly preserve a metric fuckton of content before it could be lost forever. So much media has been lost because of bad storage practices, lack of foresight, and (most critically) corporate greed, so I seriously applaud those folks for working so diligently to get this done.

The Rooster Teeth archive can be found here

Idk how many RoosterTeeth fans are on Tumblr, but watching the final livestream rn I'm getting so emotional. This company is what got me into video games, got me interested in the entertainment business, was the catalyst for my brother and I connecting as teens, helped me make friends in college, and made me into (I would like to think) a compassionate adult. Most importantly, I can now spell achievement correctly... most of the time.

I know they've had their rough patches, but there are so many wonderful creative people at RT who I wish the best in their future projects <3

As someone who grew up on Rooster Teeth, who consumed so much of their content during my formative years, today's news hits a little harder. I'm so upset for the people who lost their jobs and livelihoods due to this huge downsizing on WB part (not to mention the fact most of them found out through a twitter post!) - it pains me to hear that some of their projects will never get a real conclusion or that the hard work they have been putting in for years might be forgotten.

I'm holding out hope that there will be some sort of archival process or maybe the RT website will remain live so that people can watch what is there (maybe no longer behind a paywall?).

That being said, RT was never a perfect company and to pretend that it was is doing a disservice to everyone who has been hurt by the decisions of their coworkers, the treatment of BIPOC by the audience, and toxic work environment that surrounded their productions. We should not use this time to discredit those experiences, but remain aware that these situations can coexist simultaneously.

For the cast/crew/production teams that have led these projects, I am hopeful that this will not be the last time we see them apart of content. I know most people are concerned about the state of RWBY, RVB, Gen: Lock, etc, and I do think these IP's will be picked up. If we're lucky, they will be along with the teams responsible for them in the first place. But I urge you to not use this time to talk about these shows, but instead send some comfort to those who are now out of a job.

RT 3/7/24 Stream Notes

alright, in erlande's stead (@monarchisms) i'm gonna try my best to make a semi-coherent post about what info went down on tonight's stream

most important thing: Rooster Teeth is still working and in production for the next 60 days so it's not like y'all will wake up tomorrow and RT and all of the content will just be gone, we do have time

Any info regarding RT and the shutdown will be coming from the RT website directly, and secondarily in discord and the some of the subreddits (i don't think they specified which subreddits tho)

They are going to try and be as transparent as possible with everything going forward in regards to what's happening with RT, they (the staff and management @ RT) don't want anybody to be caught off guard

After the news came out yesterday Chelsea said the next thing they will be focusing on is to figure out how to keep doing the things they love, which i took to meaning that they don't want to stop creating and will do their hardest to fight for that regardless of shitbag WB

They are aware that people are worried about how they will be able to support everyone after RT dissolves and so there is talk of there being a "one stop shop" for all of the social media handles for everyone that works with and @ RT for easy finding so fans can still support people

As we get closer to the end, more news will come out about what will be happening with all of RT's content and cast

WB is keeping The Roost (which is a network of podcasts) running to see if there is any type of sale opportunity to be made from it, if there are no buyers then WB will be shutting it down - along with the people that operate The Roost behind the scenes

Everything brought up today in the stream will be made into a post for easy reading and digestibility

In regards to FIRST memberships RT will do their best to refund everyone in the upcoming months, though you only qualify if you have a 6-month or 12-month plan for that, but there is a lot of legal tape they have to go through since they have so many fans across the world and in different US states so it will take some time

The new season of Camp Camp and the bonus RWBY content will still be getting posted throughout the last 60 days

another note: there are people in the community right now working on archiving everything in case WB decides to delete everything

"Rooster Teeth is shutting down after 21 years."

Rooster Teeth got me through the worst times in my life, and I've met some of my best friends through this amazing incredible fanbase. They have impacted my life more than they will ever realize.

It's been a bumpy ride, but I will never regret being a part of this community.

Thank you for the memories, RT. Love y'all❤️🐔

My former Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter girlies help!

Im on a desperate search for what I'm starting to fear is lost media. In the heyday of the AH/RT fandom, there was an artist on SoundCloud who made Achievement Hunter and Red Vs Blue fan music. Not the remixes, actually sung music with original lyrics. Mostly extremely earnest indie ballads, usually backed by an acoustic guitar.

I originally found them around 2012/13, though I think the oldest of the music had been posted before that. The last time I saw any of their stuff was around 2016. At some point between then and now, they must have deleted their account or at least the fan music. I can't remember the original username, but at some point around 2015 they changed it to HiShi or something similar.

The Achevment Hunter based songs I can remember were at least two about Mavin (yes the ship), and one about Ray that was for the king AU. The RVB ones were a cover of Your best friend, an angsty one about Church that I think was a ship song, and one about Felix that was a very different style from the rest. I believe there was also a RWBY one but I don’t remember it well.

If anyone has any memory of this please tell me, I've been looking for it for years and at this point I’d just take proof it existed.

Alanah has some very good insights as to why RT has closed especially in terms of the management issues they were plagued with and the shifting trends of gaming content on YouTube. This is also more from a Funhaus perspective because she knows more about how they were doing things

Definitely worth the watch.
