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.
