>would RT be thriving if monty was still alive?
No, but this is because RT is a crappy company. They had a good starting product, Red vs Blue and grew from there. The problem is they just milked RvB for as long as possible. RWBY came along and that helped them but now RvB is dead and RWBY hasn't released anything in over a year. There was some little clip they showed for season 9 but that was months ago, there has been no official announcement.
Then you have Vicious Circle and Genlock. Remember Vicious Circle, probably not, it was a game they made, it was going to be the massive eSport game that was going to capture the world by storm and make RT a household name. Instead they sunk in millions if not into the tens of millions of dollars into it and scraped it after a few months. One YT had it where there were only 300 players online, and that is for a game that is being marketed as an online game.
Genlock was going to be their new anchor show, well it was an anchor but they dropped it when they were in the middle of the ocean and pulled the company down even further. The show got a new name from people, Generic because it was boring and there was nothing new or exciting about it. The problem was they spent a massive amount of money, another show got canceled because of it and the creator of the show was fired because he was also the head of RT animation and moved funds from other shows to Genlock.
So yeah even if Monty was around he wouldn't have saved RT.
