Machinima lays off more than 10% of staff
by Andrew Yoon, Dec 14, 2012 12:00pm PSTMachinima, one of YouTube's most popular channels, has laid off more than ten percent of its staff, including many in editorial. According to Machinima EIC Rob Smith, 23 of the company's 200 employees were let go today.
Speaking to Joystiq, Smith said that today's layoffs are part of the company's "growing pains," adding "Machinima has grown a lot in a short amount of time." Although editorial has been largely affected by today's reductions, Smith said that the company will focus on doing "editorial coverage in a slightly different way."
The company still has a number of job openings.
Hands up, down, and around with Kinect for Xbox One
EA Sports Ignite engine trailer was pre-rendered
Hands-on with Xbox One's new controller
Ryse remade into Xbox One exclusive
Editorial: With Xbox One, you are the controller (and the DRM)

Strangely enough, m*.com moved on to other things not related to game cinematics at all. It was really strange seeing their name tied to exclusive movie trailers and general coverage that did not include video games.
...and that has been your history lesson for the day.
