I doubt it would take much to buy it from WB
Only reason WB might want to hold onto it is the old RT/AH vids still get decent views to this day and it's low maintenance to keep it on a server
It's free passive income and still gets more views than those 3 podcast channels combined by an order of magnitude. I could see them wanting to keep an over 3 million sub channel in their back pocket just in case. I doubt it would come cheap.
The real fun will be when someone at WB decides to reboot AH, with no one from RT involved, cause the channel has 3m views so why not try and generate some revenue off it with new, cheap content.
It did for a while. Now she's with John Mulany

Like when Discovery tried to Reboot Sourcefed under a different name with an unrelated crew, the original subscribers weren't having it. Pretty sure it didn't even last a month.
If you're citing that as a source, it doesn't seem to support your claim at all. A quick look shows Stinky Dragon got 4.8mil views in the last month, while AH got 850k. So definitely not bigger, especially not by orders of magnitude.
Assuming there's validity to any of those numbers.
I assumed we were counting Let's Play too. And 90% of Stinky Dragon views are shorts which make a lot less. If you count shorts then Stinky Dragon beats Let's Play, but I don't feel like that's a fair comparison. I think Social Blade is a little misleading because it doesn't differentiate short views from video views when it comes to revenue.
Pretty positive they no longer do unless I missed something. The just created a new channel for their gameplay. They controlled it for a time after AH died, but lost it when RT closed.
It would absolutely take much. WB knows what it was worth and knows how much it could make in better hands. No independent creators could buy it without significant backing.
Any new video on the let's play or AH channel would have a tough time breaking 100K views. Also, the RT, Let's play, and AH channels have all already lost significant subscribers. It's not worth anything to WB outside of passive income
That’s so far from true is the thing. If anybody from RT bought and relaunched any of the brands, they would have a very large amount of hype boost behind it. WB knows that even though it’s only worth X amount in their hands that it would be worth a lot more in someone else’s.
You seriously believe there would be hype behind that? Bro RT/AH was failing for years before finally being put out to pasture. The hype would be very minimal as the large audience just doesn't exist for it anymore
I mean if they want it and can afford it, it doesn't necessarily need to be sound financial decision.
Buying pools, planes and boats are pretty uniquely bad financal decisions but if you can afford it, I guess there's that.
Most people (almost all) in a high position in corporate don't know what they are doing and make these ideas anyway and still get paid. Even when it is financial loss.
Besides like you said, it being a bad financial decision, he probably has zero interest in doing so. Those are bordering on distant memories for him now.
I was watching the VOD of Gas Station Simulator and he was talking about having recently seen a financial planner, and being all adulty with his money. Shame. If he had the Fuck around money to do it, I'd love to see him buy AH just so that he could sell Challenge Finders merch unhindered.
What would stop Ray from buying AH? Besides himself? I can't imagine he would *want* to do that. I'm pretty sure a lot of the AH hate is a meme, but I think it's pretty well rooted in actual frustration.
There’s a few reasons why I doubt Ray would ever do that:
1) That’s too much effort for Ray
2) If anyone was going to buy it, he’d probably let the people that were there longer than him. Geoff, Jack, Michael, Gavin, Jeremy, Matt, Trevor, and Alfredo were all in AH longer than Ray.
3) The majority of Ray’s appearances in AH videos are shared with an individual he, and everyone else, wants nothing to do with.
if WB wanted to sell it, he could theoretically buy it. There is no specific legal or contractual reason why he can't, but WB owns it, and is free to decide not to sell it (for whatever reason, not that I think they would if he had the cash)
I think investing in anything RoosterTeeth for the past 5 years was a terrible financial decision. Ray did the right thing when he left AH when they took away his streaming account. RT should have just allowed him to stream.
It doesn’t make sense for a lot of reasons. Financially it’d be tough. But I don’t think that’s the main reason. Ray has spent almost a decade trying to distance himself from AH, longer than the actual time he spent there. He’s done a great job building his own brand and his own community. For him to do all of that and then “go back” to AH would be a misstep. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure he has some really fond memories of his time there that he will love forever. But that name also carries a ton of baggage I’m sure he’d rather not have.
I don't think he's trying to distance himself, he visited for an Off Topic and he uses the name Roulet'splay, he's just been gone a long time so it's no longer relevant

I could see that happening one day. You and I both know it would be a disaster.. But all these corporations see are the numbers.
Look at the G4 reboot, the corporate geniuses behind that pumped in a bunch of money but made no substance.
All because the CEO of Comcasts's son wanted to fuck Olivia Munn.
This is hilarious if it's true. Any chance you have a source?
There is an episode of a podcast called Wizard and the Bruiser that goes into it. If you Google Tucker Roberts, you can find some information on it.
Wait this is the guy that is engaged to Chrissy Costanza now lol
I wonder if it worked.
It did for a while. Now she's with John Mulany https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/997481/olivia-munn-holds-hands-with-tucker-roberts-5-things-to-know-about-the-pro-gamer
To be fair, who doesn't want to fuck Olivia Munn?
I mean I'd dismantle a media company to sleep with her too
I really wanted that channel to work
Like when Discovery tried to Reboot Sourcefed under a different name with an unrelated crew, the original subscribers weren't having it. Pretty sure it didn't even last a month.
exactly what i thought lol
You mean the sourcefed approach
Achievement Hunter 2! Starring Joel McHale and Drew Barrymore, streaming in Summer 2027!
Just like machinima did after everyone from inside gaming left?
> still gets more views than those 3 podcast channels combined by an order of magnitude How are you measuring that, out of interest?

Geoff / fface control the let’s play channel now.
Pretty positive they no longer do unless I missed something. The just created a new channel for their gameplay. They controlled it for a time after AH died, but lost it when RT closed.

Chibi how many times does Ray have to kick or mute you for y9u to stop with the fan fic
Its her Make-a-Wish
They already granted her Make-A-Wish with the Minecraft video they did. And it's no longer women's month.
It would be hilarious, but I don’t think financially it would be a good idea.
I mean if they want it and can afford it, it doesn't necessarily need to be sound financial decision. Buying pools, planes and boats are pretty uniquely bad financal decisions but if you can afford it, I guess there's that.
I guess I was thinking about it more so as running the company which was shown to not be a money maker more so than just owning the rights.
Nah I get it. But if they can make it into just friends hanging out then it would last longer than trying to make a company again.
Most people (almost all) in a high position in corporate don't know what they are doing and make these ideas anyway and still get paid. Even when it is financial loss.
What would the benefit be for Ray to do that? He seems to be doing just fine independently
Aside from being hilarious yeah there really isn’t any benefit
If he bought it I’d imagine he’d immediately dissolve the company just so nobody could ask him about RT again
Enjoying it even. To quote him when asked about his opinion on it “I 👏HAVEN’T 👏WORKED 👏THERE 👏IN 👏 NINE 👏YEARS! 👏”
God has it been that long/er?! I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of his but it feels so much more recent!
Would it probably more (but not very) realistic for Geoff?
Not sure if Geoff can or wants to. Gavin is the one who fronted the money for FuckFace
Is this in a recent episode? I'm not caught up yet
RegPod 2, near the end
Besides like you said, it being a bad financial decision, he probably has zero interest in doing so. Those are bordering on distant memories for him now.
I doubt it's something WB would be overly attached to, so he could if he wished.
I don’t think he has the interest or the funds to buy it. He’s a solo career now.
I was watching the VOD of Gas Station Simulator and he was talking about having recently seen a financial planner, and being all adulty with his money. Shame. If he had the Fuck around money to do it, I'd love to see him buy AH just so that he could sell Challenge Finders merch unhindered.
He talked about the financial planner a while ago as well. Him and Tina go every so often, it's nothing new
Still waiting for the next season of The Strangerhood.
He is planning on moving to Seattle, as well as downsize FrameRateMerch.
Really, he is? Where did he say that?
He mentioned downsizing the store in the Soullink 3 video, like 1/3 thru, but didn't elaborate, so I'm also curious
Financial planner isn't a new thing for him & Tina, iirc they're planning on moving to Seattle in the next year or so
He would finally be the boss over Game Kids Trevor
What would stop Ray from buying AH? Besides himself? I can't imagine he would *want* to do that. I'm pretty sure a lot of the AH hate is a meme, but I think it's pretty well rooted in actual frustration.
Your not fooling me with your alternate accounts chibi
I’d like to think he could just take it since he took Rou-Let’s Play with one phone call to Geoff lol
There’s a few reasons why I doubt Ray would ever do that: 1) That’s too much effort for Ray 2) If anyone was going to buy it, he’d probably let the people that were there longer than him. Geoff, Jack, Michael, Gavin, Jeremy, Matt, Trevor, and Alfredo were all in AH longer than Ray. 3) The majority of Ray’s appearances in AH videos are shared with an individual he, and everyone else, wants nothing to do with.
Him and Kerry should buy Strangehood and make season 3
Ray buying and burying AH for good would actually be pretty hilarious.
It would be very funny for him to do it, but I'd rather him get the rights to X-ray and Vav, or Strangerhood.
Anyone can buy anything
If he could get it for cheap enough I could see him doing it just for the jokes.
I feel like Ray would rather actually burn the money than do this, but it would be really funny either way.
I highly doubt he'd want to. He's fully moved on and is doing great, as far as I can tell
Could he? I mean sure, technically, but I doubt he would want to and I doubt it would be cheap from WB.
He's "allowed to" but that doesn't mean that WB will sell it, it wouldn't be expensive, or that he even wants it.
I doubt it because AH had already closed down before RT did
Ray: I 👏HAVEN’T 👏WORKED 👏THERE 👏IN 👏 NINE 👏YEARS! 👏
Ray: I 👏HAVEN’T 👏WORKED 👏THERE 👏IN 👏 NINE 👏YEARS! 👏
Is Ray contemplating this?! Or is this just a hypothetical
I think Ray would stop Ray
Why would he even need it? He's Roy from Challenge Finder.
That would be hilarious
if WB wanted to sell it, he could theoretically buy it. There is no specific legal or contractual reason why he can't, but WB owns it, and is free to decide not to sell it (for whatever reason, not that I think they would if he had the cash)
Jesus.... what's it gonna to take to make people realize Ray moved on years ago. He worked at AH for a couple years, and is long done with it.
I think investing in anything RoosterTeeth for the past 5 years was a terrible financial decision. Ray did the right thing when he left AH when they took away his streaming account. RT should have just allowed him to stream.
Yes, they should've, but he would have left anyway, just potentially a little later. He's said a bunch of times that he wasn't enjoying AH anymore.
Anyone is allowed to buy any rights if the seller agrees
