After months of rumors, Warner Bros. Is now making its $18 million investment in Los Angeles-based YouTube network Machinima official. The investment comes after Machinima was forced to lay off 30 percent of its staff last week, including its entire ad sales department. So why buy a stake in a struggling company? Because it buys the studio access to a young male audience for relatively little risk, argues Variety.

Do you think it would be good for both Warner Bros and Machinima.

My opinion is that i think Warner Bros will make Machinima 10x better as they have LOTS of money to do this kind of stuff

I mean I can see why they invested in it as gaming is growing beyond it's limits at the moment. Hopefully they can get back up on their feet and pick up the 30 percent of people they dropped.

Always watched Machinima since 2010 and I'm glad they are getting back on their feet!

I really don't believe this at all, but it is true. I think that is the google's stupidest **** move ever. I hate Machinima and all the money whores that work there.

I only watch Machinima for IG Daily and ETC. Everything else on the channel is garbage.

But that is just my opinion.
