User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Shane Newville: "An Open Letter to All Who Treasured Monty Oum"/@comment-25565970-20160513160440

I'm done with RWBY but it doesn't have anything to do with Shane's letter.

The fight scenes lacked impact, the story feels rushed and the dialogue is not at all witty or as entertaining as it used to be. This season certainly was a lot less quality than previous ones. On top of that, and most importantly for me, best girl died.

Regarding Shane's letter, well this is just how business is done. It's a bit dickish to be sure but, the driving principle is not vision, but profit. RT is making decisions based on past experience with other projects and you can't fight that without presenting evidence that it will cost you viewers. If this season was a result of RT's changes, than I can say it cost them at least 1 viewer. :) At any rate, it's not enough to say "That's not Monty's vision."  You need to justify every business decision by considering cost to benefit.
