#at least relative to basically everything else rt has ever done

People keep talking about RWBY being doomed because there has been no word on Volume 10 yet, but like Crunchyroll cut a deal to host them or whatever, they got a Japanese made anime spinoff in Ice Queendom, DC has made multiple comics with RWBY in them, and along with Warner Bros signed on for a three movie crossover event in which they allowed a depiction of the Justice League including Batman. The CW hasn't been able to get permission for a Batman appearance for over a decade and they have had two shows set entirely in Gotham. I recognise that media production can and has been particularly mercurial in recent years and that Rooster Teeth's future resembles nothing more than a dumpster fire getting pissed on by a dog with mange, there are never guarantees, but like... As things stand RWBY as an intellectual property probably has more value than the company that spawned it and even if Rooster Teeth were to try and drag it down with them, there's a solid chance some other company with more money and better lawyers would snap it up in an instant. Companies love being able to trot out well established franchises that have already proven profitable instead of putting out anything new or original. My real fear is that Warner Bros or some animation company in Japan will buy the rights and just completely restart the series in their own signature style and work us back up to volume 10 instead of just giving us the end of the damn story.
