Sad, but not shocked seeing their views lately. At their height they were putting out lots of good stuff whether it was Let’s Play, Achievement Hunter or what have you.

    Nah, I completely disagree. I’ve read through other interviews and I actually think think Levin is being pretty candid and on point about the fact that they’re just another casualty of the massive shift all of the tech and tech adjacent media companies are going through due to current economic conditions. Rooster Teeth like everyone else in the online space was built on a growth model and now suddenly the switch got flipped and they actually have to turn a profit to keep existing.

    The canary’s in the coal mine have been warning us for a while…this is just the first deployment finally collapsing. We haven’t seen the end of it either. This is gonna get a lot worse for online creators by the time the dust settles I think.
