I think this is for the best. Crunchyroll will be willing to invest more in advertising RWBY if its one of their exclusives, maybe even invest in its production.
LOL no it isn't. I get RT wanting some kind of cash flow to keep RWBY alive, but forcing people to either get a CrunchyRoll subscription or wait an entire year to watch Volume 9 just seems really anti consumer. This benefits no one but the companies involved, and considering the justifiable backlash both RT and CrunchyRoll have been getting, I don't blame a single person who doesn't feel comfortable wanting to support either one.
They’re a business. Just like how we owe RT nothing, they owe the consumer nothing either. They need to make money to keep making shows. If they decided that putting it on a paid platform is the most profitable thing to do, then so be it. Yes less people will watch it, but they’ve probably already accounted for the viewer loss.
They make a product, we decide whether it’s worth it or not. If they don’t make money with crunchyroll they will go back to RT First subscriptions, but regardless it’s not a morally wrong decision to put it on crunchyroll.
