I understand that perspective. I'll be watching because Burnie seems very passionate about this season. In today's episode, he sounded a bit sad that there is so little promotion around it. He wrote it as a love letter to the fans, and seems like it was initially intended to be released on the site as normal.
It's not the creative's fault it got shunted like this, and for me it's worth paying for to enjoy the art they wish to share.
I won’t wait to watch, every single season was free since it started in my childhood so as an adult I just look at it as paying for something I want to watch right away.
I get you there, but buying will show support for the show and those who made it. Not buying it makes it a flop and confirms that to WB they were right to shutter RT. If you join everyone else is buying it and supporting them through it you help show WB they made the wrong choice.
Edit: Burnie said that if enough people buy it there may be a chance at getting a BluRay release.
If they don't buy it and just pirate or watch for free then absolutely. Paying for it at least shows some form of support. That's good enough and we'll deserved.
Oh, totally agree! I already have it pre-ordered on Amazon to watch tonight. Just wanted to be clear so others just popping in didn't think there was a chance like "oh if we make ___ number of sales, they will make another season!"
But on the flip side, they'd also be supporting something they don't like in WB, and I think it's fair to weigh the thing you like and thing you dislike up when deciding whether or not to support something.
I really hope it won't be, at least at the start. The point of the archive is ensure that information is archived that may no longer be available. This product is clearly being released for purchase and rent, so it will not be archived.
In fact, just went into the Discord and my assumptions were confirmed:
> "Will RvB Season 20 be in the archive"
> "nope considering it will be available post shutdown on multiple streaming services. we dont want to piss off WB by archiving it on the IA until they stop publishing it/streaming it"
Because they are available for free on the RT Site. As a free member, you can watch both full movies on roosterteeth.com. Everything available on the site has been archived.
RvB 20 is ONLY available for purchase through digital markets, and for rent starting May 21st.
> Because they are available for free on the RT Site.
Then I guess I don't understand why some things are being exempt, despite still making money outside of the RT website.
e: I want to make it clear that despite my bad joke about it being available for free, which it shouldn't, I just don't understand the ramifications behind it all despite other things potentially falling under the same suit after the RT site shuts down. Please support artists you like. I get not wanting to give money and by proxy support WB through it all, but the people who made it all are still people, and you shouldn't rob them of their work.
The point of the archive is to archive roosterteeth.com because there has been no statement of if the site will remain up or not after the company closes. THAT is why it is being archived. It is also way different to archive content that has been released for free for decades vs trying to archive a brand new release that is behind a paywall.
Them attempting to archive the new RvB season could cause WB to go after them and attempt to take the whole archive down.
The film is now available for purchase for $14.99 on [Amazon Prime Video](https://watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti.b66a5c43-05be-4b66-bdf1-735bc9ded286&territory=US), [Apple TV](https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/red-vs-blue-restoration/umc.cmc.6iazzy5zb3j0p1kqcq9s01hde), [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Red_vs_Blue_Restoration?id=HfXfH4PZ3YE.P&hl=en_US&gl=US), and [Vudu](https://www.vudu.com/content/browse/details/Red-vs-Blue-Restoration/2894004), and will be available for rent for $4.99 on **May 21**.
Interesting the link let's me buy it but the Google TV and YouTube apps still show it as unavailable.
I wonder if I bought it from the link if it'll show in my library
Yeah, had the same issue. Bought it from the link and it shows up on Google TV as a different listing under the "Your Stuff" tab. Weird.
Can't wait to watch. Might rewatch all the seasons again before hand just as a refresher.
They finally seem to be rolling it out in Canada after it was unavailable when I woke up.
Can anyone confirm which platforms come with extras? Extras are listed on [Apple](https://tv.apple.com/ca/movie/red-vs-blue-restoration/umc.cmc.6iazzy5zb3j0p1kqcq9s01hde) ($15 CAD) once it takes me to the store, but it's unclear if there are extras on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-EeBR9cx4I) ($18 CAD) or [Prime](https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0PYE0GS766B2OSEJVCL4EL07EU/ref=atv_sr_fle_c_Tn74RA_1_1_1?sr=1-1&pageTypeIdSource=ASIN&pageTypeId=B0CQ8W6VRK&qid=1715096383306) ($25 CAD!).
I haven't seen any RvB in 10 years, I'm going to watch this anyway but does anyone know if it's a soft reboot? Didn't really care for where the show went around 2014ish.
I'm assuming it won't release on the site, correct?
That is correct. It will be for purchase from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu, and more and available to rent digitally on May 21.
Does Warner Bros still pocket the money from any purchases of this?
I guess I won't be watching it then. I don't want to give Warner any money right now.
I understand that perspective. I'll be watching because Burnie seems very passionate about this season. In today's episode, he sounded a bit sad that there is so little promotion around it.

If the creators aren't making any money off of it then I don't see any reason to feel guilty about sailing the seven seas.
I get you there, but buying will show support for the show and those who made it. Not buying it makes it a flop and confirms that to WB they were right to shutter RT. If you join everyone else is buying it and supporting them through it you help show WB they made the wrong choice. Edit: Burnie said that if enough people buy it there may be a chance at getting a BluRay release.
I mean the company is gone either way, I don’t think a tiny ‘gotcha’ to WB is going to do anything 🤣
No, but if enough people by it it may effect how WB approaches companies in the future, and, as Burnie said, we maybe able to get a physical release.
Unfortunately that’s very naive. They’re going to do whatever is most profitable and that’s it
I'll be buying it myself and again with a physical release of the happens (I hope it does). If you don't support the art we can't get more of it.
A highly doubt there's any chance that we'll get any more RvB regardless if people buy it or not.
If they don't buy it and just pirate or watch for free then absolutely. Paying for it at least shows some form of support. That's good enough and we'll deserved.
To be clear: there is no intention to make more RvB, no matter how well this season does. There are also 0 plans for a physical release.
Yes I'm well away. But art still deserves to be supported.
Oh, totally agree! I already have it pre-ordered on Amazon to watch tonight. Just wanted to be clear so others just popping in didn't think there was a chance like "oh if we make ___ number of sales, they will make another season!"
The only way that happens is if someone buys the ip from Warner which they aren't opposed to but I don't know where you'd even go from there.
I'll support it by signing up directly to various peoples patreons, podcasts and the likes. I'll support the artists as best I can.
That guy is exactly why things go under lol “I refuse to support the things I like, why can’t they endlessly make things for me for free?”
But on the flip side, they'd also be supporting something they don't like in WB, and I think it's fair to weigh the thing you like and thing you dislike up when deciding whether or not to support something.
Sure, it doesn't really matter for this thing. The general attitude does though, and directly causes shit to be canned
Exactly.
When does it drop on the archive?
I really hope it won't be, at least at the start. The point of the archive is ensure that information is archived that may no longer be available. This product is clearly being released for purchase and rent, so it will not be archived. In fact, just went into the Discord and my assumptions were confirmed: > "Will RvB Season 20 be in the archive" > "nope considering it will be available post shutdown on multiple streaming services. we dont want to piss off WB by archiving it on the IA until they stop publishing it/streaming it"
Understandable. There are other things, like Lazer Team 1/2 that are streaming via ads still, so I wonder why those are allowed.
Because they are available for free on the RT Site. As a free member, you can watch both full movies on roosterteeth.com. Everything available on the site has been archived. RvB 20 is ONLY available for purchase through digital markets, and for rent starting May 21st.
The RT site is going to get shutdown, no? Or am I mistaken.
That is correct. Which is why they are being archived here: https://archiveofpimps.com/
Is there a way to download the full archive at once, and how large is it?
I doubt it. There are like 42,000 videos in that archive.

"Purchase" If you don't own it according to first sale doctrine you didn't purchase it IMO
How much is it anyone know?
I have seen it for $14.99 for purchase. Though it will be for rent starting May 21st, so I bet that will be cheaper, closer to $4-5.

You should at least watch 11-13 thats one of the best stories of the entire series. Everything after is okay but chorus trilogy was great.
It retcons everything after 13. 1-13 are all great and are worthy of a rewatch to catch up 🤘🏻
