Damn, that sucks. I haven’t watched any of their shit in several years, now I wish I had. All the best to the team in the future.

Meh, who needs 150 people to make Machinima?

Why?

Well they are most known for Red vs Blue but since then they branched out into a bunch of smaller brands. Fun Haus, Slow Mo Guys, Achievement Hunter etc etc. they were a full media company instead of just a machinma group.

Sounds like those ideas weren’t profitable, maybe they should have stuck with Machinima and some yt vids.

Maybe have 10-20 people max, really maximise profits based off exposure and stay independent

That last bit is really the issue that led to the shut down. They stopped staying independent and were bought by a big company years and years ago. That company was then bought by someone else who then sold it and it was bought and sold and bought and sold until we got to Warner Bros which likes to kill things just for funsies.

I really hope that the talented creators they had can find a way to branch out independently like Dropout managed to when College Humor was getting shut down.

like Dropout managed to

I’m glad they did! I really enjoy many of their shows.

There’s a new season of Game Changer btw! Episode 3 was just released, and it seems there’s a new episode every other monday.
