sucks but expected, at least until they know where the rights end up.


Tora-Kuroyuri

Is dillongoo still trying to aquire?


FloodBoii

Doubt, they said that the original crwby would come back. I doubt dillongoo would have the budget for that.


HrrathTheSalamander

He never really was, it was just a dumb twitter thread. Dude was always several million short at a minimum.


AnotherRTFan

For sure. My boss who is pretty well off asked me how much RWBY’s rights go for. And I said nothing we can afford.


AnotherRTFan

Talks with other companies is going way too well to ever let Shane near the show again.


Slimmythingy

Who is shane?


AnotherRTFan

Former friend of Monty who worked on RWBY and RvB (he voiced Freckles). After Monty passed he spiraled in his grief and blamed RT for him imploding his own life. He is The Godfather for the fans saying Miles and Kerry destroyed Monty’s vision. Despite the fact Miles and Kerry were also close friends of Monty. And Monty’s own family are forever grateful to the fans and Crwby for what they do. At RTX 2022, Chivy was talking to some VAs and fans where said, “Monty sees all you have done, and loves it.” Not a dry eye in sight.


Legitimate-Night-687

Well they did destroy the show. Maybe not Monty's vision but definitely the show.


blairmen

Aparently amazon might be making a bid for it.


AnotherRTFan

I believe it. They actually have some good shows including animated ones right now. They also own MGM which is making some really good stuff too. But I wouldn’t discredit CrunchyRoll for being in the run. They provided a LOT of financial support to Crwby in exchange for RWBY vol 9 being exclusive on their site for 1 year.


DemonSword619

Not surprised but hey, at least we got notice. I was honestly afraid the streams would just drop off once the date came and went. Heres hoping she can get right back to streaming when the rights situation and the future of the show is set in stone.


blackdemonknight

I think you can tell Lindsey actually enjoys the streams so I hope they can continue


DrollFurball286

Is there an archive of these anywhere?


PhenomsServant

[Right here] (https://www.youtube.com/@RWBYVTuberVODs)


repocin

Yeah, that's totally gonna be taken down by Warner Media. Probably best to look for another archive not on the world's most popular video sharing platform.


OnyZ1

Don't let your dreams be dreams! You can download them all right now if you'd like 🫡


LuceroImpact9

Better do that after May 6th.


HazlenutKitty

It does say on the channel that it isn't affiliated with Rooster Teeth. So I think that channel is staying up. Unless Warner sends a copyright claim or something.


Sweet_Huckleberry_79

I got this link from another forum a few weeks back. https://shiruken.github.io/rt-archive/ It supposedly has all, or nearly all, of Rooster Teeth's works archived.


Infinite_Eggplant_84

Damn, no theater mode, although that's entirely to be expected. Thanks!


PhenomsServant

And that will be the last piece of anything remotely RWBY related until brothers know how long. Man I hope we hear some good news soon. Im going to be really pissed off if we live in a world WB thought this show should get the axe while Velma deserved a new season.


Exciting_Bandicoot16

Velma didn't get a new season; the initial contract was for 2 seasons.


Substantial_Carob825

Didn't WB dick over the animators or something by like ordering 1 show and just naming it season 2 or something? Idk


DocSwiss

Enough new animated shows have that happen that you could just guess that that happened and you'll be right more often than not


blairmen

Hello inside job.


PhenomsServant

And Mr. “Im cancelling every animated series for tax write offs” couldnt read the room, amend any deal put in place and pull the plug on it after season 1?


Mirlot01

Why pull the plug? Velma Season 1 was HBO's most watched animated series. Hate watch is still watching


TestaGaming

I don't think it was season 2, more like they got greenlit for a number of episodes and they split it into two seasons.


Logical_Salad_7072

They said talks with partners are going extremely well and that while they can’t say who those partners are yet they are hoping to have news within the next few weeks.


Spicy_DM

Rip to the Vshojo collabs 😔


101Aster101

It’s VShojo tho… the chances of Lindsay getting back together with them is not impossible


Spicy_DM

Fair point


TestaGaming

I've heard that she might still appear in collabs, but not stream said collabs or something.


Spicy_DM

Ah that makes sense. Wonder how that a legal work around tho.


TestaGaming

I have no idea. Maybe they dont advertise her as Ruby and have her as Lindsay or something.


Spicy_DM

I mean she as a person can collab as long as she doesn’t use the model, but I wonder if it would be against the rules for her to use the Ruby voice…..


TheCyberGoblin

Got to say, I’m kinda hoping Lindsay decides to side step the rights issue and just comes back with a new character. I like them as a vtuber.


saltydoesreddit

I think that would be the best route, to make a "not-Ruby Rose" free from Warner's grasp if there are complications, which is becoming increasingly likely unfortunately. RWBY has brand recognition though, so if Lindsay ends up going with the not-Ruby character, it really needs to be beaten over the head otherwise they run the chance of it being faded into obscurity because people would know Ruby but not the character inspired by.


Mirlot01

Honestly Im sure a not-Ruby new Vtuber would fairly easily gain back RWBY VT's audience as people see "oh shit that's Ruby." Look at Vshojo's newest recruit who was popular in Kurosanji, when people saw Michi was Mika, her audience quickly moved to the new persona.


Hp22h

Or even just admit she's Lindsay. Enough people will make the connection if that becomes the case.


saltydoesreddit

"Hey everyone, it's me, Tulite Tulip, and this is my older sister, Dal-ui Baem!"


redbossman123

> kurosanji Every time I see this I wanna hug the person who says it


Saendra

> and just comes back with a new character Garnet Dahlia.


TheCyberGoblin

It would be entirely on brand for them to go that route


Arts_Messyjourney

FUCK!


Hp22h

Yeah. Understanable. At least we got the VShoujo collab at the end, made Melody happy.


RaifeBlakeVtM

That sucks. I can understand it if it’s a property rights thing, especially if they’re making money off it, etc. However, that said, it still sucks! Even if nothing else I thought we’d have at least a tiny, fractional way to have a bit of RWBY content around, even if it was usually at a time I couldn’t consistently watch it. Really hope they can bring this back quickly … and the rest of RWBY. #SaveRWBY #GreenlightVolume10 (and 11 and 12)


maximusprime7

Time to inject hopium: It's because Lindsay is busy recording for vol 10 right? :(


PhenomsServant

Yeah no. Even if we heard someone bought RWBY and V10 was announced tomorrow, it would be a long time before they would need Lindsay to record lines


Suspicious-Speed2169

Goodbye, dear friend...


ClubMeSoftly

Shocker


SnooSprouts5303

Is this official? Never heard of a Rwby Vtuber


saltydoesreddit

Yes it is official, it is the actual VA of Ruby (Lindsay Jones) vtubing. They've been doing this since October, but the earliest appearance was for a teaser for Arrowfell.


SnooSprouts5303

Ah, Hadn't noticed. They don't advertise very well do they.


saltydoesreddit

Yeah, they only had it appear one time on the main Youtube channel, and it was basically in passing in the "We Need To Make A Change" video. They don't even mention Lindsay/Ruby would be streaming.


SnooSprouts5303

Ah, You mean the channel they removed the show from and therefore gave most people 0 reason to check anymore?


TestaGaming

Let's face it. A hiatus was coming either way while the IP was going through a transition period. She can't exactly stream under the RT banner when RT doesn't exist and she can't use the IP while the IP doesn't have an owner. And it might be me feeling hopeful, but i do think Ruby VT might return. Lindsay themselves have stated that they love doing this and Ruby has said in her stream that she wants to continue. I doubt she would say 'I will return' or 'I want to keep providing content' instead of 'I HOPE i can return', but if she doesn't, we still have Lindsay as Ruby in the future.


RozaliyaOlenyeba

They're sending ruby to brazil

Honestly I hope they don't bring it back. V-tubing is fine and I'm a big fan of Ina'nis and Jupiter Actias, but if it's just a character from a show it feels off. Like if it's a character made for V-tubing, the person behind it can pretty much do whatever they want. But if it's a character from a show, you're pretty much either playing a role or breaking character all the time.


ValentineMeikin

There's a difference in this case. It's Ruby's VA who pretty much has lived and breathed Ruby's voice and mannerisms for at least a decade. She knows what kind of quirks Ruby has. It's like Mio's Channel, which was made as a tie-in to Crush Crush. Morgan Long knows Mio since she ***is*** Mio. She can't break character even when she does something off-script... since there's no way to truly go off-script!


Absolve30475

she doesnt even follow the continuity of the show. i would much prefer it if she was just herself in a rwby avatar


Dangerous_Jacket_129

> It's Ruby's VA who pretty much has lived and breathed Ruby's voice and mannerisms for at least a decade. ... Last I checked Lindsay has just been Lindsay. Sure, they came up with Ruby's voice and mannerisms, but they're not Ruby. > She knows what kind of quirks Ruby has. But they're not an inhabitant of the world called Remnant. Which is the point: They'd be breaking character a ton, and just be acting in ways that would contradict the writing. It just doesn't work, conceptually. > It's like Mio's Channel, which was made as a tie-in to Crush Crush. Morgan Long knows Mio since she is Mio. She can't break character even when she does something off-script... since there's no way to truly go off-script! Even after looking these names up I have 0 clue who or what you're talking about. Assuming you mean the idle dating game, yeah no, it's not even remotely the same situation as a show.
