Rooster Teeth, the entertainment company behind the popular Halo parody Red vs. Blue and magical girl action-series RWBY, is shutting down after 21 years.The news was announced at an all-hands meeting on March 6 alongside a staff-wide memo from Rooster Teeth general manager Jordan Levin, according to Variety. The memo states the company's closure came as a result of "challenges facing digital media resulting from fundamental shifts in consumer behavior and monetization across platforms, advertising, and patronage."Warner Bros. Discovery is in talks to sell-off some of Rooster Teeth's most popular intellectual property, including Red vs. Blue.
