Anyway, this shouldn't need to be said, but please don't bug the cast and crew of Rooster Teeth shows about what this means for this or that series.
They don't know any more than we do. The company shutting down was just as much of a surprise for them as it was for us.

Rooster Teeth getting shut down sucks. So much content. Apparently RWBY, Red vs. Blue and Camp Camp are going to be sold to other parties if there’s interest. So maybe those shows will still continue on.
I’m also worried about Death Battle. It’s such a fun show and I hope it continues.

The 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the attack on Marye's Heights - Battle of Fredericksburg
December 13, 1862
On this day, Union forces under Major General Ambrose Burnside make futile attempts to capture Confederate positions on Marye's Heights. The assault on these positions was only a part of the greater battle of Fredericksburg, which raged on from December 11 to 15, 1862.
The Confederate position at Marye's Heights was strong, with a large number of rebel troops being positioned at a sunken road that was protected by a stone wall. Union brigades would be sent out to capture this position, but would be pushed back with each attempt.
Eventually the 20th Maine Regiment, under Stockton's brigade, would make the charge against the wall. After failing to take the position, and suffering casualities from enemy fire, the brigade would lay prone at the field in front of the Confederate line, exchanging shots against the defenders. They would hold this position all throughout the night, until they were ordered to fall back.
In the end, the battle of Fredericksburg was a disaster for Union forces and would fail to achieve its goal of marching down to Richmond and ending the civil war.

So…
//Handily before anyone else brings it up I just received the news that Warner Bros studios have made the decision to shut down Rooster Teeth after 2 decades of that company being around. And I figured I’d bring it up before anyone else did.
//The timing feels all too…perfect? Weird? Convenient? It’s hard to put words on it, but it seems strangely coincidental that I started finally showing off my Death Battle related content and the company that owns Death Battle are now getting shut down, which means Death Battle may not even continue.
//Theres something funny about that, but also something so miserable. Obviously DB hasn’t been mentioned in the list of Rooster Teeth’s shows as of yet. All that’s been said is RWBY, GenLock and Red Vs Blue are going to be up for sale.
//Considering Death Battle first started as a simple internet web series by ScrewAttack, I’m pretty confident that Ben, Chad and the others involved with it will find a way to persist. And let’s be perfectly honest. If they don’t continue Death Battle, somebody else will.
//As for Rooster Teeth itself, I have very mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it’s no secret to anybody that the things that have happened with that company are all kinds of fucked up. Back when it first got founded, people connected because it felt like they were doing things right as an indie company, and as time went on and RT got bigger, it just got worse. I obviously won’t recount those horror stories, but suffice to say that I personally don’t like Rooster Teeth as a company as much as I used to.
//That said, I hate Warner Bros SO much more.
//If they had the power, Im quite confident that Warner Bros would utterly destroy the entertainment business entirely. And yes, not just movies, but tv, animation, video games; basically everything they’ve dipped their toes into would be utterly poisoned, because for some reason they’re dead set on cancelling the best things they put out for the sake of tax.
//Rooster Teeth aren’t great, but a lot of what they did back in the early 2000’s was walk so that indie animation today can run.
//Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, Lackadaisy, Spooky Month, Murder Drones, Meta Runner, Digital Circus, The reason why there’s been such a resurgence of original indie animation is because the big leagues like Warner are FAILING FAILING FAILING to make things that people genuinely enjoy. And Rooster Teeth, small as they were back in the day; are one of the first real examples of an indie studio making projects.
//So while I wouldn’t outright try to defend the company, there are aspects of Warners decision that leave a bad taste in my mouth. And god dammit, if the cap isn’t sealed shut on this company, sooner or later we’re all gonna be fucked.
//This is just me expressing my opinion though. We have to keep moving on no matter how hard some of these companies make it.
//I don’t plan on prematurely ending this arc because of the Rooster Teeth issues, and if this is one final farewell to Death Battle, then all the more reason to see it through.

How did everyone first learn about RWBY?
For me, it was Death Battle by ScrewAttack, Yang vs Tifa from Final Fantasy 7.

This is not the healthiest coping mechanism.
But goddamn would it be so satisfying to see Scorpion, Batgirl, Ruby, Coyote, and Roadrunner rip David zaslav apart one and then have him blow up.
I'll try to keep everyone as updated as I can.
