I bet that they will get close to bankruptcy, and Google will bail them out. They were the first major network on YouTube, and they make a ton of money for Google. If they go away, then Google will lose a lot of money that they were bringing in through their 6500 partners and their hub channels (still getting millions of views a day). Also, if you remember Google invested millions of dollars into the growth of Machinima a few years back. I think they will do the same once again. As for Respawn, Machinima has failed that. I used to watch most of the videos on there, because they were so entertaining. Now, those videos are pretty bad. None of the big directors want to post there, because it does not help grow there channels anymore, and the smaller partners are not allowed to post there.
