I've legit never heard of this company.

Being laid off sucks tho, so sympathies to the workers.

I first saw a Rage Quit video on tumblr in 2012 and ever since then I was a big RT fan. I ended up watching mostly Achievement Hunter/Let's Play vids ever since. RT has had its controversies and I've made a few posts on here about them but it's so sad to see this many people lose their jobs so quickly. (Changed my userpic for my mavin one, lol)

I mostly enjoy their podcasts (Face Jam, F**kface, ANMA) and I love Funhaus. I hope that some of the groups can splinter off and make new ones.

My reaction to this news has been:

Was the rage quit video the little triangle game?

[roseemrys]

i've appreciated your AH posts over the years coz i don't really talk about them anywhere else online since the fandom had so many toxic gamer dudes in it.

I watched the first two or three seasons of Red vs Blue when I was a freshman in college and even burned them to CD because my hard drive was so small, lol. And then I moved on completely. I did watch some Funhaus after they appeared on Squad Wars (a YouTube Red series hosted by the try guys (this is the most internetty comment I've ever made)).

no one @ me if these people are problematic but ragequit was so funny and then michael's GTA playing was also super funny, i liked achievement hunters/lets plays in general but gavin wasn't funny lmao

[ellehcimbelle]

super problematic sorry to say

[fanmail]

Oh they’re all incredibly problematic. Like almost every single person I think who has ever been involved with RT is problematic lol
