Machinima Is Shutting Down, With 81 Staffers Laid Off

 

Machinima, which rose to prominence as an influential and lucrative multi-channel network catering to gamer culture, has laid off 81 employees and ceased operations. The company, which was acquired by Warner Bros in 2016 and at the beginning of 2019 was folded into WarnerMedia’s Otter Media, confirmed the moves Friday.

Goodbye Machinima, you will not be missed. (apart from a select few videos)

I think it's the end of an era though.

I thought that end came a long time ago.

Machinima videos have been dead for years, plus the company has been very scummy in the past. Just look at Ross's fight with them a few years ago.
