Discovered AH and RT via Halo Achievement HORSE back in 2010. There was a time when roosterteeth was easily the greatest creative group on TH-cam and I couldn’t wait to watch literally anything they put out, between like 2010 and 2014 they were unstoppable. It’s really such a shame to see them wither away like this.
Nobody else was doing in-game mini-games in Minecraft or GTA or HALO like these guys were. The fact that a Tower or Pimps was an Easter egg in the official version of Minecraft also goes to show how BIG these guys were.
I remember watching that episode of Minecraft when it came out and even before the moment Ray's name popped up at the end I was crying and I cried for a good few minutes after it ended. Not just because it was sad to see him leave but also because I knew that one of my biggest and favorite parts of Achievement Hunter/Rooster Teeth was gone.
When I watched that Burnout Let’s Play, they kept talking about how “Survive Block Island was the best thing they ever made” and I thought, “wow, that sounds like way high praise, and I love Survivor, why don’t I get proven wrong about new Rooster Teeth stuff.” It’s completely behind a paywall. Like everything that they make now
I watched Achievement Hunter and Let's Play for years. Geoff can say whatever he wants about it not being a corporate decision, and honestly I believe him, but that doesn't change the fact that the real point that AH, LP and RT lost their soul was the second they sold it to Warner Bros. After that, things were just never the same again. Sure the budgets were bigger, but you could just tell that it was no longer about having fun, engaging with the audience, and trying to make good content. It turned into a job, and not just a job, but a job that came with a big set of rules that sucked the fun out of everything.
Watched RT since Fails of the Week started, quickly spreading to their other content, stopped a few months after the Ryan incident. I watched LP begin, then grow and fall along with RT itself. I recently made myself playlists of almost all their videos to slowly work through once more from the top, didn't expect it to end so definitively but it's better than keeping the slow death going even longer. These guys were one of, if not The largest source of joy I've ever had in my life.
Ray leaving and Monty’s tragedy began the decline. The Firing of Vic Mignona was the end of Rooster Teeth for me, and when Jack told us not to watch them if we don’t like their political crap was the end of achievement Hunter for me
That’s why I stopped watching them all jack and his politics and his hatred of guns and gun owners like me jack was the worst every time I see him on a podcast
@@MrHellsing76he helps raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for children’s hospitals every single year. The fact that you can’t understand his disdain for the tragic loss of human life at the hands of crazy people with guns, as a ‘hopefully’ responsible gun owner is crazy. Jacks a fun and loving dude and it’s such a shitty take for you to say he’s hurt their reputation the most.
Awesome video dude. Managed to capture that bitter sweet nostalgia. I've watched these guys in the darkest moments, and even tho the channels have dwindled, I am sad to the core that it has OFFICIALLY ended with AH. Sad times
As a former diehard rt fan from 2003 till 2017 its sad to see how the company rt has fallen from grace, and with achievement hunter offically over. I think we are heading into the end endgame for roosterteeth.
I'll never forget seeing the first rage quit video, after that I found achievement hunter and I was hooked instantly, ray and Micheal being friends outside of work made their duo so much better, the original team lads is my all time favorite ah time, the og six oh I wish that could have just been.. AH was my life for so many years I'm gonna miss it
I miss immersion, I miss og let’s plays with the lads and gents. I don’t know. Once ray left, Joel gone. And burnie left. I felt they they were going downhill there. I feel like their spirit they had when they made videos is gone
Honestly, fantastic video. There's not much more to be said after that ending. Like so many others Achievement Hunter made up a massive part of my childhood all the way back to middle school. I think the first video of theirs I watched was Rage Quit: Slender back when those games were at a peak. I remember my brothers and I gathering around the computer to watch the weekly Minecraft episode every Friday after school. All good memories. But of course, as it seems with so many things nowadays, things always come up that mar the masterpiece in my head. Controversy after controversy, mistake after mistake. Honestly, the kid I used to be is sad but ultimately I'm relieved. Achievement Hunter went on for far too long, and I'm just glad it's finally over.
I feel like I was one of the few that still sort of enjoyed achievement hunter up until 2020. I felt like Michael and Jeremy’s antics kept the channel alive. And Gavin was still relatively a part of it. But after they had to go WFH with Covid, there long, distant, content making felt kind of boring. So I stopped watching until they got back together. Except they never did. by the time AH came back to their office, It was a completely different crew. And like you said, they weren’t really funny. They just yelled a lot. Mostly when It didn’t really make sense for them to be yelling. Like yelling was funny or something. I just couldn’t watch. I don’t think people give enough credit for the end of achievement Hunter to Covid. Because Covid introduced the old crew to a lot of different ways for them to make content and they all seemed to stick to that even when they could have returned to the office. Jeremy decided to stay with his family and stream. Gavin and Michael decided to keep doing there new podcasts. Geoff did the same. Lindsay and jack were the only “old hands” left. But Lindsay could never lead the comedy, she was only ever good as the butt of a joke. And Jack was too squeaky clean, and also was only able to perform well as the butt. But AH and RT as a whole became too concerned with staying clean and PC to allow anyone to be the antagonist anymore. So everything just felt fake and work culture like.
I'd like to blame it on my favorite members leaving, the style of content changing, or the newer members becoming preachy/unfunny/woke or whatever else. We may not like it, but good things don't last forever Eventually, they all had to grow up and be allowed to grow out of Achievement Hunter. They became adults with bigger responsibilities to themselves and those in their lives. Geoff became sober (very happy for him) and he has Millie and Emily. Gavin has Meg and his Slow Mo channel. Michael has Lindsay and two daughters. Jack has Caiti. Ray left to stream and he has Tina now. Ryan... uh.. isn't here. The truth is.. so did we. We grew up and moved on too.
I knew they were dead when I got berated in the comments for saying I don’t think they should jam political agendas into entertainment videos. People watch that stuff to avoid that sort of garbage
I'd say it's more like a Zombie situation, both of them have been dead for a while now, just AH finally collapsed and stopped while RT is still shambling along. And I say this as a man who grew up with RT since 2010, I loved that company but I can't deny that it just ain't the same anymore.
Rooster teeth has become the shop of theseus. How much has to change before the ship now isn't the same one we sailed on 10 years ago? Because it feels like the only similarities now is the name rooster teeth. Everyone and everything else is unrecognizable.
I looked at two of the allegations, the first one being the 17 year old who lied and said she was 18 which is whatever. The second was another 17 year old but the main allegation was that Ryan had taken off a condom without asking her (which isn’t illegal but I agree is a pos move), but if you watch her video where she describes it then it seems like he knew she did it. She also said he didn’t ask for her age but did ask if she was in HS or college (she was in college) but I’m not sure if someone would ask that in a vacuum without asking for that person’s age (or if she also lied about her age on her instagram which he looked at first before flirting with her). Honestly, I’d like to see a comprehensive deep dive on all the allegations that doesn’t immediately paint him as a groomer (not that he isn’t one).
I have been a fan of Achievement Hunter since 2017, and while we all saw this coming, it still is a damn shame to see such an iconic channel end its run. Thank you, ScoopHash, for making such an amazing video that captures the nostalgia, the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows for one of my favorite content creators ever. You giving your brutal honesty, no BS, and insight into every video you make(Especially in your movie and game reviews as well as your Rooster Teeth videos) is why I’m a subscriber. Keep up the good work, dude!
The original 6 were a big part of my childhood and i cant thank them enough. They got me through some bad times and made me laugh through it all. Even though rt went through some dark times and did some terrible things, they made the fans happy for almost 20 years. They gave me memories that i will never forget, and have shaped who i have become. Rt and ah will live on with us, the way want it to, even if they are all gone. We just have to remember.
To be fair, it seems like when it comes to the internet, nothing goes out on a high note, but with a slow sizzle that just overstays its welcome. I havent thought about AH in years because I used to love all their content but when people started leaving and the content was just "TTT, podcast, TTT, TTT, TTT, GTA, TTT and then like a 15 minute minecraft video on fridays" I knew it was time to quit. There are so many great moments that I loved growing up, and even some from Ryan before the controversies happened. I would love to spend a few more years forgetting everything and then go back and watch the highlights with fresh eyes.
Channels that make videos that don't get to the damn point will die. Very few that I watch that are the ones that drag on and on. I discard them as soon as I find a replacement.
When I think of how i got introduced to RT i recall it being around the time RVB came out and I started watching that. Then the fails of the week videos that Geoff and Jack made made me a regular. So AH was great when it started with original content back then (well there wasn't much other content) but it was good. But shows / content can only go for so long i guess. I think Ray leaving was definitely one of the starts of the decline but Jeremy and Matt (to an extent) did decent to make up. But Geoff, Gav, Jack, Ray and Michael were really the top entertainers and then Ray left, then geoff went off and gavin appeared less and less so the content got stale and wasnt the same for me anymore. Then the ryan incident happened and honestly AH should have just disbanded then.
I’m gonna say this thank you ah for making my childhood fun Iv watched every Minecraft let’s play ever gta video and everything in between it’s hard to say goodbye I watched up until the day they ended it but I will never forget the memories I have because of those guys.
I remember around 10 years ago when I watched every video Achievement Hunter made. At that time, and for a while after, I thought working there or Funhaus was the ultimate job (perhaps they would still be in their prime). But I started to stop watching on the regular due to work around 6 years ago, which is a weird thought. Doesn't feel like it was that long ago. I also remember thinking around that time that these channels wouldn't last. There was no way they could keep it up for 15-20 years. Sad to see it happen. The good news is that there is so much content to go back to.
They got me through college and all the trauma of my early 20s. The tour of Achievement City was my first video and I didn't look back. It's so hard to see it end. I lingered for so long with RT and AH, but cut the cord in 2020 for obvious reasons. It sucks, I'll think of all the highlights that I loved and a lot of them involved Ryan. It just sucks to love the crew of a ship that is sinking. I love so many of the personalities at RT. But it's just disintegrating at this point.
I have enjoyed and loved AH even after Ray left. While ofc something big was gone the additions of Matt and Jeremy first and Trevor and Alfredo later truly made me enjoy the content for many years after. I think i stopped watching religiously in 2020 but whar truly killed me was the garbage human that is Ryan. I could never recover the wide eyed child wonder from the early days and that only made me feel like a piece of shit since what right to i have to feep bad when there were so many victims of this despicable person. Ryan's actions were not the faultbof AH but it sure stopped my interest in what as you have said was a declining content churning machine
They went woke and now they are broke,Once jack said fuck u if you don't take Fionas side that's when I lost respect for em,when it was just the Boyz pranking and dicking around in games that was fun to watch but towards the end they went woke and hired people that were not funny or entertaining just because of there skin and sexual orientation wich I wouldn't give a fuck about if they had been entertaining but they weren't!.
Ray leaving was when I began to notice the changes and like you said, everything being serialized killed any excitement for new vids. The fact that achievement hunter shutdown and I’m just hearing about it now, shows you how much of a whimper they went out on.
The death of Rooster Teeth started when they sold their I.P. something they said they would never do! It's a real shame what's unfolded at Rooster Teeth and the loss of Achievement Hunter is gutwrenching to hear. I was a massive fan of Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth up until around 3 years ago it's sad to see their downfall from where they came from. Unfortunately, the old saying is correct Go Woke Go Broke!
This is my comment before starting the video in my opinion rooster teeth have some series that will keep itself a float but not the size they are right now
I had been the biggest fan of RT since I was in middle school almost 20 years ago. It's a shame it feels like their on their deathbed. Creatively and internet wise. It was a hell of a ride. It will be missed so much by me and my proud nerdy texan farmgirl wife😢
Its so nice seeing a video about achievement hunter by someone who isn't just trying to be negative and hoping for the downfall. rooster teeth and achievement hunter were important to me growing up, and while there are some very important controversial moments that should very much be talked about and mentioned in conversation. This is still company that was big enough to have conventions for fans, that had enough people show up to compare to cons for entire industries. I do think the fall is- well fair. No Rooster Teeth channel has been capable of adapting with the times, but its nice to get a bitter sweet view rather than hearing a malicious point of view
AH and RT were bound to decline one way or another. Nothing gold stays. The internet is different, content consumption is different, there's far more content out there that doesn't fit the AH RT formula. That's okay. Just like Newgrounds came and went, so will Roosterteeth. Either it will be absorbed into a larger entity (which was), become a shadow of it's former self stuck in irrelevancy forever (which it would have been), or folded in itself and disappear forever (which it eventually did). I prefer the mercy stroke out taking it out before it becomes something completely inverse to it's founding principles. Also, the Internet changed. Before, it was a toxic chauvenistic frat house, and RT and AH were an outgrowth of that. Now it's sanitized, family friendly, and heavily survielked with a militant audience of social media addicts. The rough and rowdy days are over. We now live in an internet era that harkens back to cable TV in the 90s Hollywood of the 50s. A new subversive order has to come and shift the paradigm. Roosterteeth is spent, it can no longer carry the torch. But someone and something else will, and hopefully, the people that made Roosterteeth great are there to cheer it on.
Ray leaving was the beginning of the decline. The death was when Ryan turned out to be a pedo. And they could never recover from that due to the company's expansion, with replacements that could never live up to the original crew. Members that were from a younger generation that brought with them the new PC, woke culture that completely altered the sense of humour and personalities they used to have.
lets be honest what ryan did was shitty but hes not a pedo he slept with a 17-year-old that lied about being 18 and even if she didnt lie 17 is legal in texas one of the girls he slept with even bragged about it and about being a home wreaker on twitter
To say you cared deeply about the AH squad but make a backhanded video on how they didn't end on your expectations is such a class act. I applaud you sir.
I cant even play minecraft without a tower of pimps to style my house.
This shi unlocked a memory I forgot fr 😢
Discovered AH and RT via Halo Achievement HORSE back in 2010.

Turns out rooster teeth was in fact next.
Yes. Today in fact.

It was nothing special.
well this hits differently now given today's news...
😬

It was more the wokeism, bringing in D-tier talent for diversity points because they were located in a left-wing cesspool called Austin.
Oh agreed.
Watched RT since Fails of the Week started, quickly spreading to their other content, stopped a few months after the Ryan incident. I watched LP begin, then grow and fall along with RT itself.

Who’s here the day they shut down roster teeth
MARK NUTTTTT!
As of today, the answer is YES!
Ray leaving and Monty’s tragedy began the decline. The Firing of Vic Mignona was the end of Rooster Teeth for me, and when Jack told us not to watch them if we don’t like their political crap was the end of achievement Hunter for me
Jack was, for all he has admittedly done for Achievement Hunter, was the most damaging person to their reputation.
I didn't know that. Can you explain?
Also firing people for stuff happening in there private life stay out of people personal life
That’s why I stopped watching them all jack and his politics and his hatred of guns and gun owners like me jack was the worst every time I see him on a podcast
@@MrHellsing76he helps raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for children’s hospitals every single year. The fact that you can’t understand his disdain for the tragic loss of human life at the hands of crazy people with guns, as a ‘hopefully’ responsible gun owner is crazy.

Awesome video dude. Managed to capture that bitter sweet nostalgia. I've watched these guys in the darkest moments, and even tho the channels have dwindled, I am sad to the core that it has OFFICIALLY ended with AH. Sad times
Rooster Teeth was over when Monty passed away. Achievement Hunter was over when Ray quit.
Ryan was the funniest and most valuable in my eyes
As a former diehard rt fan from 2003 till 2017 its sad to see how the company rt has fallen from grace, and with achievement hunter offically over. I think we are heading into the end endgame for roosterteeth.
I'll never forget seeing the first rage quit video, after that I found achievement hunter and I was hooked instantly, ray and Micheal being friends outside of work made their duo so much better, the original team lads is my all time favorite ah time, the og six oh I wish that could have just been.. AH was my life for so many years I'm gonna miss it
I miss immersion, I miss og let’s plays with the lads and gents. I don’t know. Once ray left, Joel gone. And burnie left. I felt they they were going downhill there. I feel like their spirit they had when they made videos is gone
Honestly, fantastic video. There's not much more to be said after that ending. Like so many others Achievement Hunter made up a massive part of my childhood all the way back to middle school. I think the first video of theirs I watched was Rage Quit: Slender back when those games were at a peak.

Here from the future.
RT just announced they will shut down today, March 6.
The process itself will take a few months but it's done
Damn. Rooster Teeth officially shut down. Just heard the news this morning
My question is, is everyone at RT blaming Warner's CEO for their misfortunes or are they just waiting for the inevitable to come to them
honestly the Jeremy era ALMOST rivals the ray era. i think that the end of 2019 and all 2020 is when it all went downhill and it never got back up
His pun websites alone were funnier than a vast majority of their content.
Absolutely with you on this one, I couldn’t pick a favourite between the two they were both so brilliant
I remember mad king Ryan
Ryan the "_______" guy
I honestly dont know what to say about him.
thanks for the laughs but damn why do that?
Pedo king Ryan
Other than cheat on his wife, Ryan did nothing wrong, the fact they threw him under the buss so fast was bullshit.
And thank god for Ryan Haywood
I looked at two of the allegations, the first one being the 17 year old who lied and said she was 18 which is whatever.
The second was another 17 year old but the main allegation was that Ryan had taken off a condom without asking her (which isn’t illegal but I agree is a pos move), but if you watch her video where she describes it then it seems like he knew she did it. She also said he didn’t ask for her age but did ask if she was in HS or college (she was in college) but I’m not sure if someone would ask that in a vacuum without asking for that person’s age (or if she also lied about her age on her instagram which he looked at first before flirting with her).
Honestly, I’d like to see a comprehensive deep dive on all the allegations that doesn’t immediately paint him as a groomer (not that he isn’t one).
Dude, you should have thanked Ryan too. He also made us laugh A LOT.
I have been a fan of Achievement Hunter since 2017, and while we all saw this coming, it still is a damn shame to see such an iconic channel end its run.
Thank you, ScoopHash, for making such an amazing video that captures the nostalgia, the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows for one of my favorite content creators ever. You giving your brutal honesty, no BS, and insight into every video you make(Especially in your movie and game reviews as well as your Rooster Teeth videos) is why I’m a subscriber.

Turns out, yes

the title of this video aged like fine wine

I would love to spend a few more years forgetting everything and then go back and watch the highlights with fresh eyes.
Called it
Yes
Minecraft lets plays was what got me through college listening to them banter while cramming for tests
Channels that make videos that don't get to the damn point will die. Very few that I watch that are the ones that drag on and on. I discard them as soon as I find a replacement.
I'm dreading the same thing would happen to Game Grumps eventually.
When I think of how i got introduced to RT i recall it being around the time RVB came out and I started watching that. Then the fails of the week videos that Geoff and Jack made made me a regular.

Then the ryan incident happened and honestly AH should have just disbanded then.
I left when Ray left. He got out at the absolute perfect time tbh.
I’m gonna say this thank you ah for making my childhood fun Iv watched every Minecraft let’s play ever gta video and everything in between it’s hard to say goodbye I watched up until the day they ended it but I will never forget the memories I have because of those guys.

It just sucks to love the crew of a ship that is sinking. I love so many of the personalities at RT. But it's just disintegrating at this point.
Makes me glad I dipped out when I did and that SourceFed ended when it did. I'd hate to have seen them get to this stage
I have enjoyed and loved AH even after Ray left. While ofc something big was gone the additions of Matt and Jeremy first and Trevor and Alfredo later truly made me enjoy the content for many years after. I think i stopped watching religiously in 2020 but whar truly killed me was the garbage human that is Ryan.

Ryan's actions were not the faultbof AH but it sure stopped my interest in what as you have said was a declining content churning machine
Achievement Hunter got me into gaming, I wanted to either go work for them or make a channel to upload gaming to. This is a sad day
They went woke and now they are broke,Once jack said fuck u if you don't take Fionas side that's when I lost respect for em,when it was just the Boyz pranking and dicking around in games that was fun to watch but towards the end they went woke and hired people that were not funny or entertaining just because of there skin and sexual orientation wich I wouldn't give a fuck about if they had been entertaining but they weren't!.
Man i remember when episode 3 of rvb released. Was the first video i watched within an hour of it coming out on the Internet
Ray leaving was when I began to notice the changes and like you said, everything being serialized killed any excitement for new vids.
The fact that achievement hunter shutdown and I’m just hearing about it now, shows you how much of a whimper they went out on.

This is my comment before starting the video in my opinion rooster teeth have some series that will keep itself a float but not the size they are right now
I had been the biggest fan of RT since I was in middle school almost 20 years ago. It's a shame it feels like their on their deathbed. Creatively and internet wise. It was a hell of a ride. It will be missed so much by me and my proud nerdy texan farmgirl wife😢
They are now circling the drain of finances
Its so nice seeing a video about achievement hunter by someone who isn't just trying to be negative and hoping for the downfall. rooster teeth and achievement hunter were important to me growing up, and while there are some very important controversial moments that should very much be talked about and mentioned in conversation. This is still company that was big enough to have conventions for fans, that had enough people show up to compare to cons for entire industries. I do think the fall is- well fair. No Rooster Teeth channel has been capable of adapting with the times, but its nice to get a bitter sweet view rather than hearing a malicious point of view
AH and RT were bound to decline one way or another. Nothing gold stays. The internet is different, content consumption is different, there's far more content out there that doesn't fit the AH RT formula. That's okay. Just like Newgrounds came and went, so will Roosterteeth. Either it will be absorbed into a larger entity (which was), become a shadow of it's former self stuck in irrelevancy forever (which it would have been), or folded in itself and disappear forever (which it eventually did). I prefer the mercy stroke out taking it out before it becomes something completely inverse to it's founding principles. Also, the Internet changed. Before, it was a toxic chauvenistic frat house, and RT and AH were an outgrowth of that. Now it's sanitized, family friendly, and heavily survielked with a militant audience of social media addicts. The rough and rowdy days are over. We now live in an internet era that harkens back to cable TV in the 90s Hollywood of the 50s. A new subversive order has to come and shift the paradigm. Roosterteeth is spent, it can no longer carry the torch. But someone and something else will, and hopefully, the people that made Roosterteeth great are there to cheer it on.
Ray leaving was the beginning of the decline. The death was when Ryan turned out to be a pedo. And they could never recover from that due to the company's expansion, with replacements that could never live up to the original crew. Members that were from a younger generation that brought with them the new PC, woke culture that completely altered the sense of humour and personalities they used to have.
lets be honest what ryan did was shitty but hes not a pedo he slept with a 17-year-old that lied about being 18 and even if she didnt lie 17 is legal in texas one of the girls he slept with even bragged about it and about being a home wreaker on twitter
I would say it started before Ray left especially once he stopped trying in let’s plays and was always quite and not doing much
A little late for this video but what game are you playing during this video?
Destiny. Not sure which one though
@@dafrog55 2.
Been trying to find a decent video on this for days 😅 finally found a professional
Achievement Hunter is more retired than dead
yes it would be
Say the code bum cheese
To say you cared deeply about the AH squad but make a backhanded video on how they didn't end on your expectations is such a class act. I applaud you sir.
This aged like spoil milk.
Go woke go broke lol
Greatest channels? Sorry I can’t agree. Was never a fan because I never found it interesting.
The real end was when they hired Jeremy and Matt that was the true beginning of the end.
Yes. Yes it is.
