that explains why death battle's new season hasn't started yet.

I'm sure WBD will just move RWBY to another department, they LOVE animated projects.
Oh...

A lot of people contracted with Rooster Teeth literally just found out that it was dead via Social Media.

"challenges facing digital media resulting from fundamental shifts in consumer behavior and monetization across platforms, advertising, and patronage" might be the most bullshit corporate excuse since TNA's reasoning for firing Scott D'Amore.

As an aside, I swear every time there's a big media conglomerate shake-up it's always animation that ends up taking the steel-toed boot to the nads. Pragmatically it's almost certainly just animation being more expensive proportionally to produce than live-action, but in practice it always ends up feeling like the finance bros or execs in charge are perpetuating the "lol only kids and NERDS watch cartoons and they don't buy our advertisers' products" mindset.

Honestly given Zaslav’s seemingly all out war against animation within WBD, Rooster Teeth was simply a matter of when not if he would set his sights on them. I naturally had hoped Death Battle and RWBY would have reached their conclusions beforehand(and yes, DB does or rather for now did have a planned ending of their final DB being Wiz vs Boomstick, something they’ve been sewing the seeds more for in recent seasons with showing various abilities the two have offhandedly in the tale of the tape part of each episode once they actually started animating the two of them).

I've never had any interest in anything of Rooster Teeth's but this still has me like, "Holy shit can we as a collective just exile Zaslav to a remote island like Napoleon already?"

I had heard they tried to sell it a few years ago but were unsuccessful?

They know how to cut the budget, but they don't know how to make money

That's eventually what will happen to him, it always does, but whoever comes after him will probably also be a hatchet man.
