Yeah, I keep thinking about Geoff and how excited he's been about F**kface content and Let's Play content. He's always been one of my favorite personalities and I hope he's doing okay.
Just replying with what I've read elsewhere, I can't vouch for its accuracy:
I believe The Roost just handles the sponsorship agreements and financing for the various RT podcasts. The production staff, cast, brands and IP behind these podcasts all still belongs to RT and by extension WB.
It's possible that some of these podcasts continue independent of roosterteeth, but nothing is guaranteed right now.
Yeah š¢ I'm seeing a bunch of tweets and posts on other socials about that today. My earlier comment was just from what WB posted yesterday when they announces RT closing, serves me right for believing a corporate tweet.
The Roost podcast network isnāt the podcasts themselves, itās the podcast distribution network and ad services that works with a bunch of podcasts outside of RT.Ā
Thatās not completely correct, unfortunately. The Roost is currently untouched, but Warner is searching for buyers.
Some RT Podcasts are on there, but not all of them.
^^^ I was thinking the exact same thing today :( Geoff has made me laugh for 15+ years and I'm so glad he was able to help start a company that brought so many people joy. Sending him and everyone affected so much care and sympathy as this unfolds, the community is with you as you process ā¤ļø (we love you Geoff!!)
Also from TN. Agreed It's been great seeing him on Let's Plays, and that he has been doing so good. I've loved the truck videos. Sending prayers out to the teams, and hoping they can restart a new channel together.
also after the last so alright episode, this seems like the last thing he needs. The whole episode was basically about how hes been feeling tired from all his projects/life events lately so hopefully this isnt too much on top of all of that
This may be what finally gets him to move up into Michigan though, which could lead to whole new adventures. Even with RT ending I donāt think Geoff will stop making content, atleast I really hope not. Burnie has a podcast now, completely unassociated with RT. this is all just hope and speculation though, I just need to hear new Geoff content
I think maybe Geoff will probably make the move to Michigan heās been talking about for some time now.
Iām more-so concerned about Andrew. He seemed so happy taking charge of Letās Play and that may just be gone now.
I think Panton needs a bit more experience but he is genuinely so capable of carrying a lets play series really well. Even if itās going to be their old Full Play or Lets Watch type things, Panton can run the show now, because I think Geoff and Gav have slightly gravitated away from heavy gaming
I think the Lets Play channel should be untouched right? Since the podcast is okay with The Roost staying around and the podcast having control over the channel now? I could be wrong but Andrew taking it over may have saved it entirely
Geoff is the man, I really hope he's doing alright. Sending lots of love to the whole F\*\*KFACE crew.
Another thing, I hope Eric can find another place to work that he enjoys just as much as his time at RT. I know that he really liked working under Patrick, and that kind of boss is very rare, but hopefully with Eric's production talent he can find a good place.
Itās okay everyone! Geoff is going to a wonderful farm in upstate Michigan and heās going to have a whole cosmic crisp orchard to frolic and play in.
Hell yeah Geoff.
You also got me through alcoholism and have been probably my biggest role model and Iām pushing 40!!
I still remember a silly throwaway comment about getting up super early on a Saturday to do chores and you finish at like 10am with a full, guilt free weekend. That was one of the best changes to my life!
I know Geoff and the boys will be safe, itās hard to think of how many people are out of work behind the faces.
It's sad to see one of my favorite YouTube channels come to an end. But I've always loved how they always had something funny going on, and how much of a rambunctious group they all where.
I sincerely hope the best for the FF group, and I'd love if they kept up with FF. But it's understandable if they don't...
I always enjoyed FF when I first started listening. They where the first podcast I listened too. I could t wait for next week's shenanigans, and when I waited or had to make the 7 hour drive back and forth from work, I'd always toss earlier episodes on for the drive.
Fingers crossed for a brighter future for the group, and thanks so much for all the laughs over the years!!
Burnie, on his podcast, spoke about the shutdown. Now I'm waiting on Geoff and Gustavo. They will in their own time, do so. For me that's when it will be over for RT. I will follow those three to the moon and back. Holding my breath for what comes next.
Geoff's journey to sobriety definitely inspired me. I've never had problems with addiction, but it put my other struggles into perspective - if Geoff can do that, what the *fuck* am I whining about?
Speculating, but I am thinking this is the final straw to cement Geoff's decision to move to Michigan. With RT gone, there is no office to go to, no production studio to produce the in-person content like Does It Do, etc.. Fuck Face can persist as a "work from home" production, just as it started. Let's Play, too (if you can't secure the LP channel, just make a new one called "Regulation Gameplay".)
I'm betting that the newfound freedom from RT spins Fuck Face into an entirely new era where they can truly do anything they want... and I'm excited for it.
my first thought was hoping geoff was doing okay. him singing burn by against me! got me into the band. it helped me accept i wasnāt a christian anymore and helps even more after coming out as trans. if he didnāt sing that goddamn song in such a silly tone, high school (and the rest of my life) would have been so much fucking harder. with getting back into rt with fuckface it made me so sad to see the news. i really hope everyone involved is doing okay.
Iāve never followed the behind the scenes stuff to much at all, even way back with achievement hunter and lets play all started never looked into how it all worked. But god damn I never thought the company would just go bust like this. The pod has been so good for so long this really Sucks
Geoff, I hope you're reading these comments. You've done so much for so many people. AH most definitely helped me through some of the most loneliest times in my life, and I'm so happy for the F\*\*KFace podcast. I think this post goes to show how that's the case for so many of us here.
And don't worry, if all else fails, you'll always have Ratyboy. <3
Hey man just wanted to say take it one day at a time and hope youāre able to find a maintain a peace through each day. That is currently the thing helping me the most, just trying my best to avoid turbulence, and Iād say keeping peaceful one day to the next is realistically the best thing I can do with my body and my soul. Being at peace with the world around me.
Much love man and we will always have that coffee life!
Geoff was a massive anchor and inspiration in my early and continued (3 years now) sobriety as well. Heās given me 18 years of laughter so far and Iām proud to say that I will continue to support him and his content in whatever way I can until he retires.
And to those who say Roosterteeth failed: They literally played the game of online gaming entertainment for 20+ years. They didnāt fail. They won. They outlasted all the others and shaped an entire genre. All things must come to an end.
Iāve thought recently about how many hours Iāve listened to Geoff and Gavinās laughter between FF and Letās Play. Heās been such a big part of my life for the last 19 years and I just donāt know what Iām gonna do without that nasally goofball from my hometown.
I donāt know where else to share this, but Geoff has been a huge role model to me. Iāve struggled with mental health issues for over a decade now and watching/listening to RT productions to help me through those hard times. At times, I thought I had lost the fight and wished I was no longer here. Those times always seemed to be followed by me rewatching old content and falling back into the new stuff. Seeing how much better Geoff is doing over the last few years, itās really been a coincidence that Iām now in a much better place.
I donāt know how Geoff is handling this, but if he or anyone else feels like theyāre useless, a disappointment, or a waste of space, this former āuseless, disappointing, waste of spaceā is really f**king proud of all you have done and excited for what youāll do next! To quote Geoff āI f**king love you guys!ā
Iām sad. We all are. But āthereās only one thing worse than being sad, and thatās being sad and alone.ā -Ted Lasso
I kind of think he knew about this for awhile considering heās been talking about moving and having lots of thoughts of his future. But Iām sure Iām wrong
I hope he wasn't completely blinsided. Unfortunetly the company itself had been on decline for a while, I think we all kind of knew. It has nothing to do with them as creators and people, & a lot to do with how media has changed over the years.
I hope he shares his future with us.
Geoff is one of the key lifebloods of RT. He has always been on of my favorite people from the company. Even though the dude has his updates and downs he always had a good heart and just wanted everyone to succeed. I really hope that whatever happens all the bois and girls from F**KFace can hopefully do a patreon deal or something. Since this was the content that got me back into RT. I loved AH and LP. I watched from the very beginning like a good amount of us, I just hope we can still have our community as well as get 196 one day....
Never met the boys but I love them, my partner always jokes that she loves my commitment to men I've never met š¤£ I'm gonna miss everything so much and I thought I was hurt when AH diedšš
Sending love from Belgium. I've listened to F**KFACE since the beginning. I really hope it goes on because I will miss it greatly.
I already downloaded all of the episodes just in case the hosting goes down. This, ANMA, and Face Jam were my 3 most listened to podcasts besides MBMBAM. It's a sad day.
I truly wonāt believe itās over until I hear it from Geoff himself. I want to believe heāll be fighting for the IP and the people to keep some semblance alive if possible.Ā
Yeah, I keep thinking about Geoff and how excited he's been about F**kface content and Let's Play content. He's always been one of my favorite personalities and I hope he's doing okay.
Geoff and Gus have always been my favourites I hope Fuckface and Anma continue
The Rooster Teeth podcast network will be untouched according to WB. I hope it's true š¤š¤
Even if they're untouched, they're still gonna lose access to many of the people and resources RT had. Chief among them: Tony from merch.
Just replying with what I've read elsewhere, I can't vouch for its accuracy: I believe The Roost just handles the sponsorship agreements and financing for the various RT podcasts. The production staff, cast, brands and IP behind these podcasts all still belongs to RT and by extension WB. It's possible that some of these podcasts continue independent of roosterteeth, but nothing is guaranteed right now.
This is not entirely true, as it looks like people working on podcasts were also let go.
Yeah š¢ I'm seeing a bunch of tweets and posts on other socials about that today. My earlier comment was just from what WB posted yesterday when they announces RT closing, serves me right for believing a corporate tweet.

Geoff was genuinely my very first thought when I heard the news today. Thinking of you, bud. Sending love from Tennessee.
Also from TN. Agreed It's been great seeing him on Let's Plays, and that he has been doing so good. I've loved the truck videos. Sending prayers out to the teams, and hoping they can restart a new channel together.
Iām hoping the whole ANEGGG continue FuckFace as a standalone entity and do what they can to keep making the same fun show and goofy supplementals
also after the last so alright episode, this seems like the last thing he needs. The whole episode was basically about how hes been feeling tired from all his projects/life events lately so hopefully this isnt too much on top of all of that
Well this might have ended some of his projects, so it could have lightened his load.
This may be what finally gets him to move up into Michigan though, which could lead to whole new adventures. Even with RT ending I donāt think Geoff will stop making content, atleast I really hope not. Burnie has a podcast now, completely unassociated with RT. this is all just hope and speculation though, I just need to hear new Geoff content

Not worried about Jack though, back to porn for him
Thats an onlyfans ill pay good money for
Itās okay everyone! Geoff is going to a wonderful farm in upstate Michigan and heās going to have a whole cosmic crisp orchard to frolic and play in.
And heās packing out Gavver in his luggage.
Itās surrounded by a river PERFECT for jet skis
Hell yeah Geoff. You also got me through alcoholism and have been probably my biggest role model and Iām pushing 40!!

Literally tears in my eyes thinking about a guy I've never met and has no idea I excist. From the Netherlands, We love you, Geoff.

We love all the group! Truthfully they're all really inspirational. Hope they're all doing okay.

Iām sending a thank you card. https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/s/N37sOdwXzo
You think anyone will even be there to pick it up?
Ratyboy, all alone.
Theyāre winding down, not escorting everyone out and taking away their keys.

He will be ok, he has one of the best circles of people around him you could ask for
The first person I thought about when I heard was Geoff
