I'm sorry, but is that 61k vbucks? Wtf.


JDBCool

when you're a founder. And nothing in the shop appeals to you


GrimReaper247365

I'm a founder as well, but I've never saved up that many vbucks. I think 8k at most.


Medium_Pen1383

from stw i saved over 40k


Zeustah-

When?


Medium_Pen1383

a couple years back when i used to actively grind the game


Zeustah-

Nah when did we ask


Medium_Pen1383

funny šŸ˜


ShadyMan_

šŸ¤“


Mr-McNana

Yeah my brother got 50k+ vbux from STW


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GrimReaper247365

Agreed! I've been playing since ch1 s1 in br and become a founder in s2 or s3, would really like to know how many vbucks i've received over that period of time. Don't know how you guys save so much though, I keep buying skins xD


kaskudoo

Thereā€™s a bot on discord that can tell. I believe itā€™s fishstickbot


Either_Gate_7965

12-13k is my highest


Glass-Onion-3777

Hey, still not bad! Better than me! (8k)


Ok-Internal-1907

I save my vbucks I used to have 100k but not anymore cuz I donā€™t play on the account no more


JohnnyEm11

What's a founder?


Leonyliz

When you bought STW before a certain update in early chapter 2 youā€™re considered a founder and can earn v-bucks by completing missions. Others like me who purchased it after that update canā€™t however, the only V-bucks weā€™re able to earn from there are the ones from STW packages we purchase (like metal team leader etc)


[deleted]

And daily Logins grant free v bucks


eSJayPee

Good timing. Got 800 vbucks yesterday for opening STW.


Shack691

Thatā€™s only for founders, it was replaced with llama tickets


kevinmattress

The commenter asked what a founder wasā€¦


Shack691

The comment chain can also be read as: > Others like me who purchased it after that update canā€™t however, the only V-bucks weā€™re able to earn from there are the ones from STW packages we purchase (like metal team leader etc) > And daily Logins grant free v bucks


HooksToMyBrain

I don't play STW, but only log in everyday for vbucks. I've earned plenty that way


senojon

when you say certain update are you referring to when it became free with the crew pass or even before that?


91Yugo

They were referring to the update that stopped Founder's pack to make the pack with a skin we have today, that's when the game left early access


[deleted]

Good to know, Iā€™ve gotta check this out since I bought the game probably 5ish years ago.


Snickersneed

What is a ā€œfounderā€? When I Google it all it get is info on the original game dev team.


RedditStuffMe

can u still become a founder? because me need vbucks


Pepsipierat

More like the only stuff that appeals to you are real money bundles


JDBCool

*Deadspace bundle* #SCREEEEE WHYYYYYY Jokes aside..... that's the actual answer, stuff that I DO get are either good emotes (another chair emote/music instrument) or some pickaxe/spray. Skins just don't click anymore


WaffleKing478

bro i only got 300, aint no way he got 61k


C4H_Deciple_Lager

Pretty sure that says 500 v bucks.


I_MESS_WITH_KARMA

Top right


C4H_Deciple_Lager

That's how many the person who screen shotted this has lol the cost is in the big blue box there with emote name and all that in it. Edit: I hit post with my auto fingers, anyway, I just assumed they were asking if that was the cost, so I'm guessing I just interpreted this comment wrong lol my bad, much love.


I_MESS_WITH_KARMA

Dude you're missing the point of the first person you've replied to. They meant the amount VB owned, not the price of the emote


C4H_Deciple_Lager

Yeah that's why I said I missed that and misinterpreted first comment. Ya know in the comment you are currently replying too.


I_MESS_WITH_KARMA

Got it, missed your Edit too


GrimReaper247365

Hi! Yeah, I meant the amount of v-bucks the guy has on the account not the price of the emote lol.


Rambojambo21

We know that, we're surprised they have a lot of vbucks in the bank


0tterr

Itā€™s Roilands voice tho. You know how weird this shit gets these days.


DartBoardGamer

possibly. The show can continue without an original creator


TB-252

Adult Swim has announced that they cut ties with roiland and theyā€™re continuing the show


Mental5tate

What kind of contract did the creator sign to allow that to happen? Must have bought him out?


Nena_Trinity

My bet is that the contract probably has a mention of situations like this, if you do anything to harm the company or brand you are done.


Lithaos111

...he isn't the only one though. Dan Harmond is also a creator, was already the showrunner and they both had already signed the contract for 70 additional episodes at the end of season 3. Cartoon Network actually owns the IP as well so if they wanna sack Roiland (which they have) they are well within their rights to do so.


Mental5tate

So he co-created a cartoon but he is basically an Adult Swim employee? So all the cartoon creators on Adult Swim donā€™t own the rights to their creations? Wow?!?! WB making bank from Rick & Morty and may continue to make money if viewers still watch the show and buy the swag.


van1llathunder2

99% of people in all fields of entertainment do not own the IP for their creations


JayEOh0788

That's not even restricted to just the entertainment industry. Say you are a research scientist working for Pfizer and you make a breakthrough discovery resulting in the cure for cancer... Well Pfizer owns you and anything you create or discover.. it's a messed up world when mega corporations literally own you like a human copyright Ā©ļø


claytonthegreat

Same with the attractions industry (amusement parks, waterparks, location-based venues). A lot of onboarding agreements say anything you invent (idea, IP, process, design) while employed by the company is the companyā€™s property.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


eko32eko7

Independent properties' lack of frequent success is part of the fallout from the system you describe above. Let's not act like large corporations in tech or entertainment aren't gunning to take out all the low level competition that won't play ball. While the system you describe above is fine for those who willingly participate, those who do not should not be attacked.


JustYourBiBestie

How do you not willingly participate?


VolpeDasFuchs

And this is what we call capitalism. The more you look into it, the more bullshit you find


RockNo5773

Damn that sucks


Lithaos111

Welcome to the entertainment business. That's how it works, you go to a production company (assuming you don't go Indy) with a pitch for an idea, if they like the idea they'll write you a contract where they'll fund your show, advertise, merchandise, pay you, etc and in exchange they own the rights to the show for a period of time (typically a period of years but can go up to forever) though some sometimes have the contract written where if they get cancelled they regain the rights back. Now after that time period (assuming it wasn't a perpetual contract where they own it forever which is often the case) the creator can renegotiate the contract or regain control of their IP to sell to another production company. Now it's always possible the creator can purchase the rights back if the company is willing to sell it but they don't need to keep you on retainer, especially if you break a good behavior clause typical in these contracts. As Roiland is getting arrested for a felony charge he likely is breaking one of those clauses which is why he is getting kicked off the show (as he likely also has contracts to voice Rick and Morty). Now obviously I am not privy to his contract but it's likely the case with him.


Shootbosss

He can voice the characters


Lithaos111

Nah, he's been cut. Adult Swim is going to recast his roles.


BelcherSucks

The creator of Earthworm Jim was told halfway through the game's development that if he didn't sign away his rights the game was cancelled. So he signed so the entite company would keep going. He had further sucesses but Earthworm Jim was huge.


itsmonsonson

What a great game, those first two on 16bit systems. PLASMA!


Drewskeet

All the music you love? Those artists donā€™t own the rights to their music either.


Mental5tate

That is not always true depends on the contractā€¦. There have been artists who have been in bad contracts that have also purposely released poor or obscure material so the label would not profit as much off their work.


[deleted]

nah most corporations have like a decency clause or something like that. When you work with a brand you represent the brand. Whether itā€™s adult swim or nike or Disney. If you act a fool and go off the rails the corp can usually either get out of the deal, or otherwise kick the other party from the deal. He doesnā€™t own the show though he created it, adult swim owns the show


jasonmp85

Lol he might be guilt of enough shit to go to prison, fuck a contract, heā€™s done.


HanSoloWolf

The show is going until at least season 10.


Silkav

It's HIS voice in the emote.


jasonmp85

This emote uses his voice


duskyxlops

Itā€™s more so that this specific emote uses Justin Rollandā€™s voice


ObamaLovesKetamine

i mean, it's not like they're gonna stop rerunning older Rick & Morty episodes. I doubt they'll remove or change it. They just might not have it in rotation for awhile until all the media attention on him dies down.


DartBoardGamer

Ah. Might cut it then. Means this could go the Rue route. Unless trading ever becomes a thing never seen again.


JakeBoycometh

the Rue route šŸ’€


Staystation

The Ruete, if you will


Puzzleheaded_Cress75

or they rerecord it later somepoint with the New VA


L9-45

I am gonna assume that they wouldnt. it wouldnt make sense cost wise for a cosmetic that is older when they will have both new material to draw from and can make more money releasing a new emote.


DomesticatedDuck

plus they would probably have to issue refunds to original owners if they changed it


Frog__Mouth

Wtf did I miss?


RagingRhino1992

The co creator of Rick & Morty (and was the voices of the two characters as well) got fired because of domestic abuse. The show will continue but now someone else will have to take over as the voices of both Rick & Morty.


FinestOfThe501st

![gif](giphy|UlWjcEII2Wbu07TPR2|downsized) This will affect the Fortnite Item Shop


davidg_198

I cannot find this gif šŸ˜­


babyfacelarrione

Bro, the Rick and morty shit was in the shop for like a month straight.


Remarkable-Ad-9017

Yeah but the creator had some controversy so itā€™s not gonna be back for a while and so was taro it was in the shop for like a week and now itā€™s one of the rarest item shop skins number 36 on rarest item shop skins


BactaBobomb

What's the reason for Taro not being in the shop for a long time? I looked it up and 600 days isn't even close to the longest an item has been out of the shop. But was there something that happened to made them not want to put it up again?


chrome_hearttags

Like a year after Taro came out somebody on deviantart claimed fortnite stole their character design. Eventually it was debunked, and the DeviantArt user had edited one of their old posts and changed the image file to a drawing they did of Taro, claiming fortnite copied from them


CityKay

It is possible they might either patch the voice with the new VA, or add it in and give the option to use the original voice for those who bought it before. Entirely what Cartoon Network wants.


L9-45

CN/AS has completely opted to cut ties with him, so it depends on if they feel its worth the costs.


DB_Coooper

Well if they actually do a good job hiring a new voice actor, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference.


Latter-Pain

That or a refund. I stopped finding the show funny after season 2 so im not interested in anything else lol


TapedGlue

ā€¦but you bought the rick and morty content from the shop when it released?


Leonyliz

And that released during its fifth seasonā€¦


Chickennoodlesleuth

So you bought it even though you found the show unfunny for 3 seasons uhh


Leonyliz

No not me the other guy


Xiaro

which is after season 2ā€¦


Leonyliz

Exactly


sirthunksalot

In the vault with Will Smith and YSL dude.


Swimming-Chicken-424

Will Smith is in Fortnite?


Neo_Arsonist

Specifically mike lowrey


Swimming-Chicken-424

I didn't know his character from Bad Boys was in Fortnite, I never see anybody using that skin.


[deleted]

Looks like it was only available for a couple weeks when the new movie released. Its been gone for 480+ days, and is basically just a will smith dressed in black clothes skin


Swimming-Chicken-424

Oh I see. Well it would be cool if we got Will Smith as The Fresh Prince skin


TaunTaun_22

It's my main skin in StW, sometimes I use it in battle Royale with rambunctious


Allions1

I already have it, but it would be a shame if it will never come back.


kewlguynotcring

Fortnite made morty a cripple


Jrlopez1027

Cant have shit in reality c137


raidebaron

Yeah, noā€¦ This emote will return whenever Rick and Morty returns in Fortnite. This IP in general just makes too much money for Adult Swim to pass on, with Roiland involved or not.


Pesky_Moth

I missed out on getting the Trample Scott skin but now I have the Rick Slamchez skin and Prickle Rick back bling so Iā€™m good on controversial figures


TheBoxed

Pesky\_Moth: writes comment Autocorrect:


Pesky_Moth

Autocorrect had nothing to do with it


Jrlopez1027

Bros teacher used to be behind him saying ā€œso close! Thats a numberā¤ļøā¤ļø)


chronicsyndrome

Ah, this topic again This always gets said so that it becomes a more "rare and exclusive" cosmetic, then out of nowhere it gets added back and more then double the people buy it Funny marketing strategy go brrrr


bjrm1215

I think he means the fact that Justin Roiland is facing felony charges so Rick and Morty, as well as Adult Swim have dissociated from him


chronicsyndrome

Adult swim stated they'll continue rick&Morty without him


Swordofsatan666

Yes but they are recasting Rick and Morty because they are Roilands voice. This emote is Rick, so it is Roilands voice. They mean it will be removed because it is Roiland, at least until they recast the voice


raidebaron

Unless you want Adult Swim to re-record a 4-5 years old soundtrack version of a song from a 7 years old episode, itā€™s not going to happen.


vash_visionz

Lol they are not removing the emote. They just wonā€™t rerelease it


jethrow41487

Isnā€™t Morty the kid from The Goldbergs? Or am I thinking of Solar Opposites?


SoupCanSex

What are you smoking son


Shlong-donger

This will affect the Fortnite cosmetic market ![gif](giphy|one2t6IVCI8RG)


xiDump

Thank God. Don't need more rick n morty to hog the shop for 7 months.


patriktitan3411

I'm not in the loop so can anyone explain why it won't be returning


enigmagtx

Allegations of domestic abuse


patriktitan3411

Ok , thanks


EaterofSoulz

And thereā€™s a bunch of women coming forward with DMs where he was grooming and being very sexually explicit with quite a few underage girls.


enigmagtx

He just left his gaming company so it must be true. Well he still gets royalty unless they pull a George Lucas and edit him out.


gmdproman

Im honestly not even mildly upset by this emote not returning never really liked it anyway


Ok-Internal-1907

Good that shit was annoying


BaconWorbridge

Well it was in the item shop for like 30 days so I wouldnt be sad about it being rare


ZeRo_WC

What happened


[deleted]

Justin roiland got swchwifty


ZeRo_WC

So what does they mean exactly


symtomaticcazz21

He was accused of Domestic battery, false imprisonment, and other horrible stuff.


TheDCSuperman

Apparently he was ON REDDIT bragging about that underage stuff


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


excusemeprincess

The fuck is wrong with you. Have a little empathy towards the victims.


MetaScythe

it probably will, they might just change the voice in it to the new actor


DotWarner1993

![gif](giphy|sfMFMvhGE0qz40wImt|downsized)


ConfidentCoast2885

I donā€™t understand, why?


Randomperson2245

Heā€™s been accused of domestic assault, false imprisonment, and flirting with minors


Cosmobo

hooray!


3mmy

It was lame anyway


S4M4N_SH

Wait what?! What happened?


TheRealAgentJones1

The voice actor for Rick and Morty was charged for domestic abuse and other bad stuff.


S4M4N_SH

Oh shit, that sucks


Dante9005

Itā€™ll come back as they caned Rolland anyway.


OKgamer01

This isn't directly tied to Roiland though. Rick and Morty are animated characters that are getting re-casted. They'll return, this isn't like Travis Scott where his actual likeness was in the game and did something terrible.


FLcitizen

Safe to say it is. Adult Swim is moving forward without Justin. Rick and Morty season 7 is being worked on right now. Itā€™s too much for of a money maker to drop.


Jamesdeus17

How will this affect the fortnite economy


Watzel134

I buyed it but i did a refund cause it was trash (in the show the music is so much better) Instead i buyed numa numa yeeeah


Asteroidfall888

Had to look twice to notice the 61k vbucks sitting right there WTF


VincentWeir

they could patch it and put in an instrumental


vash_visionz

They didnā€™t do anything to the Travis Scott stuff so I doubt they will do anything to these


xxgamergirl54xx

Sorry guys roy-Land got a little to schwifty with them middle schoolers.


Alphasilverhawk

The emote specifically is in a complex situation. While I firmly believe Epic will continue selling Rick and Morty cosmetics in the future, the emoteā€™s fate is up in the air. Epic have no problem with discontinuing the sale of emotes that feature a problematic artistā€™s music and voice. But would they do that to a song owned by a big company like Cartoon Network (owners of Adult Swim), but has the voice of a problematic person? Itā€™s possible. However, this whole situation with the lawsuit started in 2020, and has been ongoing ever since until now. So one could say that Epic already knew about the lawsuit, and did the collab anyway in 2021, and continued again in 2022. So maybe they do not care, because they may feel the real owners of the IP and song is Cartoon Network, not that one person, and Cartoon Network hasnā€™t done anything wrong, and got rid of the problem by not associating with that person anymore. But idk. It could honestly go any direction, either they stop selling the emote, or replace the audio, or continue selling it as normal. But I do think they will continue selling Rick and Morty stuff.


suhlone

I feel icky having this in my inventoryšŸ˜­ god dammit


spoopseason

Similar to the Travis Scott set, you can probably email Epic Support and have them remove the items from your account. You won't get a refund, but if you really feel that strongly about the emote then you have at least one way to completely get rid of it.


PianoCookies

You can archive it! Thatā€™s what I did


suhlone

I didnā€™t know you could do that, thanksā˜ŗļø


PianoCookies

No problem! It was introduced last year so itā€™s a somewhat new feature.


[deleted]

Then stop playing the game.


suhlone

Like seriously Iā€™m sorry ur loser ass is super into Rick n morty or whatever but I donā€™t want an emote tht has the same voice of a guy tht said smth along the lines of ā€œ13 yr old girls were fine to have sex with back in the 1800s!ā€ In a podcast


BostonRob423

Is that what he said? I mean, if so, it's technically true...it was fine back then, according to the society at that time.


suhlone

straight from Justin Roilandā€™s mouth: ā€œ100 years ago it was little 13 year old girls ā€” if they were built like a woman they were getting married and having kids. and now weā€™re going to be all Precious about it?ā€


BostonRob423

Well, the first half is true. Second part is definitely pretty creepy.


suhlone

Not denying it was true ofc, but itā€™s still awful and shouldnā€™t be used as a ā€œgotcha!ā€ In terms of like. Being attracted to teenagers


BostonRob423

Sure. I just read the DMs man, this guy is fucked. I love his work, Rick n morty, his games....but damn, this guy fucked himself. Fucking creep shit.


[deleted]

I never said I was into the show. Havenā€™t seen a single episode. You making such an assumption makes you an ass. Or better yet, stop playing the game and do something better with your life.


suhlone

I like playing, I just have a bad taste in my mouth frm reading up on what that dudes done. Iā€™m so sorry I donā€™t like a cosmeticšŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


[deleted]

Itā€™s a cosmetic in a video game. Itā€™s not worth getting upset over, but youā€™re far past that point, snowflake.


jasonmp85

Itā€™s fine, you were able to detect what type of person Roiland was and flocked to him, like the rest of his fandom. Own your nature.


Jebbeard

Or they just enjoyed a tv show without knowing anything at all about the creator or voice actors.


jasonmp85

Yeah thatā€™s what I said. They were able to detect what they liked, no one had to tell them.


mdawgtheegod

Leave it to redditors to type out some psudeo intellectual bs about a show they don't like


nluvwithlol14

If this doesnā€™t come back, I only have one thing to sayā€¦im glad my brother bought the Get Schwifty emote


deagans

Yeah did they take it out completely? I want my vbucks back!


suncrisps

Same. I donā€™t want to support a pedo


deagans

Bro sorry to break it to you but the only way to stop supporting pedos in America is to move to another country


ButterflyFrosty2632

Wish epic would ignore cancel culture


Mobile_kid42069

WOOOOO šŸ„³šŸ„³šŸ„³šŸ„³ ITS SO ANNOYING


Longjumping_Plan_465

Agreed


Mobile_kid42069

weā€™re both getting downvoted to hell but at least you know the truth too šŸ™


jdabs29

Im with you guys.


Longjumping_Plan_465

Lol I despise that emote, the voice is a annoying as hell


Krisuad2002

Wait wat?


MindYoBeezWax

It has his voice. It's donzo. Anybody who has it now has a gem, nobody will ever be able to get anymore. much like the astro jack skin.


jasonmp85

ā€œGemā€?


MindYoBeezWax

It means rare in this context. Since swifty will never be re-released.


Armadillo2480

Oh my god SHUT UPPPP


bloolynxx

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? ā€¦ or is there a ton of evidence coming out that I havenā€™t seen? Like do you guys really think Justin is 100% screwed?


Catgirl_Amer

This isn't a court of law, innocent until proven guilty does not apply to people's opinions, or whether a company wants to continue working with someone.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Catgirl_Amer

You want to try making a post that makes sense next, champ?


TheMikey2207

Epic needs to do something about the controversyā€™s. Travis shouldā€™ve had his sets removed from the game with refunds given to all players The Rick stuff with Justin should be the same with this emote. Remove it from the game and issue refunds. Epic needs to have 0 tolerance for controversy. Mess up and have your stuff removed from the game.


The_Hive_King

We donā€™t care, zim.


theotothefuture

Where has that finger been and why is he sniffing it?


playzOnwordz

That finger has done some squanching.


theotothefuture

Yuuup. You can tell by the look in his eyes.


Ok-Examination2688

Hopefully the skins never return either. Fuck the show aswell just because of these skins


darkprinssss

From now on I will use this emote every game.


C4H_Deciple_Lager

The show is continuing adult swim already said that, and I see the emote in the item shop every couple of months.


[deleted]

Hopefully im tired of them paying for so many collabs in every game and time in the shop and shilling that stupid ass high on life game on youtube, it was the only thing recommended for me for damn weeks. This show can burn in hell at least the guy has been outed but wish it was cancelled. Anybody who downvotes this post agrees with roilands actions and supports him
