    Right? How is Machinima doing these days? They were once the biggest YouTube channel in all of esports. They had a few rounds of layoffs back between 2010 and 2013. Closed up in 2019. I mean it was more than morale, but it was writing on the wall.

      I’m not familiar with that YouTube channel, but the story absolutely repeats itself. A business will eventually die if it cannot turn around its finances and cannot raise money.

        not familiar with that YouTube channel

        Exactly. They were the 14th largest channel in the world (that belongs to 5 minute crafts now). They were #1 worldwide in gaming. (In 2014)

        And you’ve never heard of them.

        No such thing as too big to fail.

        IGN and G4 occupied Machinima’s enormous shadow.
