Legendary YouTube gaming network Machinima wipes channel One of the most recognized brands in gaming entertainment, Machinima, has saddened the community on January 19, by deleting every video from its YouTube channel. First founded in 2000, Machinima (machine cinema), was based on taking video game characters and assets and making short video stories or comedy shorts with them. The brand would go on to become the main network for gaming YouTuber\u2019s, allowing creators to generate an income from their YouTube content by signing a partnership with Machinima. The majority of gaming content creators on YouTube were at one point signed with Machinima, and the official channel soon became the hub for all the most popular gaming content on the platform, garnering over 12 million subscribers. It reached a peak in popularity with the glory days of Call of Duty content on YouTube from 2007 to around 2012, and was the major network behind the surge in \u2018gameplay commentaries\u2019. The channel also held streams under its \u2018Machinima Live\u2019 show, and entered esports with \u2018Machinima Vs\u2019. Perhaps one of the channel\u2019s most beloved shows was \u2018Machinima Respawn\u2019, hosted by popular YouTubers Adam \u2018SeaNanners\u201d Montaya, Scott \u2018Mr Sark\u2019 Robison, and Shaun \u2018Hutch\u2019 Hutchinson. The community reacted to the sad news that all of the channel\u2019s content, over a decade worth of videos, had been entirely wiped. #RipMachinima I found gaming on @Youtube through Machinima.. They pioneered everything you see today when it comes to gaming.. I remember dying to be partnered w\/ them and looking up to everyone that was :upset: the sad music makes it even sadder\u2026 :sob: pic.twitter.com\/3ZGRVL3VY4 \u2014 Chaos (@Chaosxsilencer) January 19, 2019 Wow\u2026 they finally went ahead and deleted everything we’d ever done. 7+ Years of work\u2026 lost to the sands of time. #RIPMachinimaMake sure you’re subbed to our new channel that we started after leaving Machinima last june \u2013 https:\/\/t.co\/CdswejOfLJ \u2013 thanks pic.twitter.com\/H8MEVGHaCq \u2014 RickyFTW (@rickyftw) January 19, 2019 In late 2018, Machinima was overtaken by Otter Media, and in turn all Machinima creators were transferred to \u201cFullscreen\u201d, another Otter Media operated agency. Long time Youtube Staple, Machinima, is dead. Otter Media took over the channel from Warner, and has since deleted all videos off the main channel, which is over a decade of videos perhaps lost forever. A huge inspiration of fledgling Youtube, gone, just like that. #RIPMachinima pic.twitter.com\/nSH9s2uECI \u2014 TRAFON (@RiseFallNick) January 19, 2019 Big names including FaZe Clan\u2019s Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney and streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, and many others, were believed to be partnered with the Machinima multi-channel network (MCN), and were transferred to Fullscreen. However, some creators were not transferred and were instead simply dropped from the MCN altogether, including YouTuber Maximillian Dood, who has almost 1 million subscribers. He was later added to the YouTube Partner Program to continue monetizing his content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
