** The show being exclusive to Rooster Teeth’s website has also been another point of contention with the idea of needing to subscribe to yet another streaming service not endearing the show to those who haven’t already subscribed to Rooster Teeth. Many are hoping the completed season will find its way to Netflix or a similar platform.

Natter that is needless soapboxing to rant about an unrelated show.

** Fans of HumongousMecha shows were immediately weary of another Western attempt at the genre, pointing out the poor track record of such shows, and bringing up '' WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' as a recent example of this track record; the show which was infamous for keeping the titular mecha OutOfFocus by design as a stated goal of the showrunners (in addition to its notoriously toxic fandom) and ultimately was a merchandising failure. Even positive reactions from fans on social media note a certain air of cynicism because of this poor track record.

* ColbertBump: Battle Tapes, the band that performs gen:LOCK's theme song "Belgrade", got a massive boost in exposure because of the fact that their song is being used in the show's opening, which is further augmented by how good the opening is and how well it is synchronized to the song. The cherry on top is that fans of Rooster Teeth's productions have been used to waiting months for the music of the latest season of a show to be released, but since "Belgrade" has been out there for a few years, the fans can just go ahead and listen to the song.

* SnarkBait: MemeticMutation: "Watch Gen;Lock." Rooster Teeth went all in on advertising the show prior to its launch, with most of the videos on their channel, even ones unrelated to Rooster Teeth's animation division, having a bumper at the start hyping the show, alongside Gray hijacking several ''RWBY'' panels to bring up the show. This eventually led to Gray developing a memetic reputation for blackmailing people into watching the show. When ''RWBY's'' sixth volume featured a large mecha in the final third, right before ''gen:LOCK'' started airing, the fandom response was almost universally jokes on how "the gen:LOCK ads are getting really subtle."
