News:

https://mammothgamers.com/2019/01/machinima-removes-video-archives-erasing-years-of-video-game-history/

>Machinima, a long time multi-channel network focusing on video game content, has removed all video content from all of its channels.

>The video purge comes only days after Machinima was set to merge with Ellation, a division within AT&T-owned Otter Media. The merger was announced in late November of last year, though what that really meant was unclear to many creators and consumers.
