People could make more money on their own than partnering with them. Just evolution of business. Same reason why flash games/movies aren't so big anymore.

That 1 Oney video explains what went wrong.

This.


It's weird how far they fell.
>>
>>321469032

True, people learned how to be more successful by making their own "brand" rather than relying on sponsorship and help from Machinima like in the past when joining them was pretty much the only way to become big. Now with the rise of big independent channels and Let's Player's they are slowly dying and have become vastly less relevant over the years.

Also, no Sodagod.

People realized that it was easier to make money and get famous just by playing video games and putting minimal effort into videos. No one who does gaming videos does them just because they want to nowadays, they do it for the dosh.

What did he do?

They grew too big. Halo 3 era best era
>>
>>321469387
He left
>>
>>321468489
All the big names left and made their own channels succesfully beating machinima , also machinima apperantly has really shitty contracts
>>
>>321468489
So when I watch TBFP on vessel all there videos have the machinama logo on it. But on YouTube and there site there is no logo on the lps. Is machinama taking all the vessel money? Do the best friends even need them anymore?
>>

>Do the best friends even need them anymore?
Best friends need Machinima more than Machinima needs them.

2BF are barely relevant, they play only the newest released games for a reason.
>>
>>321470513
But they have over 500,000 subs. That's pretty good. And they still play games that match their style.
>>
>>321470904
>But they have over 500,000 subs.
And they get about what 50k views per video.
So only 10% of their subs actually watch them.
AND consider this, because they only play newer games, they could be new people.
So maybe 5% of their subs actually want them.

You'd be surprised how subs don't matter. I've seen channels with 500k subs with only 1k view.
>>
>>321471087
>>321470904
What makes it worse is that it's spread across 4 people.

That's like 15k a person.
>>
>>321471087
But I thought a majority of the views are a mix of vessel and their personal site
>>
>>321471352
Also not all there Vids have all four of them. It's usually two maybe three of them. I know woolie gets more of the podcast money and pat does the editing so he might get a little more on their vids

Does anyone actually make Halo Machinima or stuff like that anymore
some were actually great

>>321469160
Who is this seananners?
Sounds like a long forgotten e-celeb no one talks about, anymore.
>>
>>321469032
What do you mean by movies aren't big anymore?
>>
>>321468489
When do you think they fell apart?

I feel like 2009 or 2010 is when they finally became IGN or worse.

They have stated in Q&A's that the website has been a failure in terms of generating income.
>>
>>321468489
Call of duty got old. Seananners, sark and hutch left.
>>
>>321476214
The only reason why I don't use the website is because if I pause and switch tabs the vedio restarts.
>>
>>321476962
Screenwave (The network that made the website) typically encourage unique site only content to force fuckers on and in return, generate revenue and attention. They have nothing that either Vessel, iTunes or YouTube itself can provide.

>>321468489

Nintendo

no seriously hear me out. the fact that ninty is holding on to their IPs like old grandparents opposing change like they oppose black people has been fucking holding everything back vidya.

More concretely I blame the failure of the Super Mario Bros. movie for convincing nintendo to never agree to a nonanimated feature of their properties ever again for media consumption.
>>
>>321477279
So the website is just a waste of money. Are the tbfp fucked or can they turn this around? Is this why they did the gg crossover? In truth I found them threw the Walkenthrus cross over back in 2013

What the fuck.
That's awful.
Do they all live together or what?
Sponsors?
How do they afford to buy random shit?
