...having done Fallout 4 ads and wearing Pip Boys and praising it for dozens of minutes ("it's super responsive, I'm really impressed with how well it works") as they go on their rant. Talk about corporate fanboys. They literally sound like paid shills on this The Patch podcast. I know this is a few days old, but it's painfully hilarious.
Apparently these Rooster Teeth people were complaining about how someone could review Fallout 4 so low.

Meg Turney: "Ok, so I have a bone to pick. And it's people who review shit low. Because I feel like people do that to be 'eh we're different'. Everybody gave Fallout 4 90s and up. 70. You're not different or special because you review a game low!"
Ryan Haywood: "'Look, we have legitimate things to say and if we don't rate it low, you know how legitimate we are.'"
Meg Turney: "Yeah, no one will come to our site to look at it."
Gus Sorola: "I feel like the bugs and negativity is really overblown. And that's what people are making a stand on. Trying to stand out like 'oh we're different, we have a more keen eye than the average reviewer'. Like people were jizzing over Jeff Gerstmann and Giant Bomb because they called out all the problems in the game."
Meg Turney: "They were like, 'It's a technical mess'." (she says this while completely forgetting she just had a whole segment about how buggy the game was earlier in the podcast)
Gus Sorola: "Yeah like, 'Thank you Jeff Gerstmann for keeping it real'."
Ryan Haywood: "We sit and wine on cheese and crackers as we wrote our review."
Meg Turney: "Yes, on my Mixlr."
Jeff Gerstmann's response is some lovely ether:
Has Rooster Teeth always been this bad? Although I think I stopped bothering with their content once they became a big media company many years ago (Fullscreen, Inc.) and haven't found them to be a relevant source of anything related to gaming
Ryan doubles down lol:
Tripling down?

Probably worth mentioning the founder of RT seems to have a lot of respect for Gerstmann, and they've been on each other's panels. This looks like an uninformed cosplayer said something dumb, and the other guys went with it.
Even the RT community savaged them over it. Here's Ryan's response in their subreddit where he doubles-down (check the downvotes)
Tripling down?
This guy...
dude really thinks he has a point but the internet is doing him wrong
