Hey guys
So since 2008 I've been a partner with YouTube directly so not had much use of networks.
I don't want to mention my channel at the moment but it's pretty large and deals with gaming.
Update: I gain around 1 million views per month, this used to be a good 2-3 million but due to YouTube changes my channel has suffered. I also have 50,000 subs.
At this moment I have access to all the CMS tools so I could re-link my channel back to YouTube. But the reason I left was due to wanting more exposure and better paid revenue.
Last year I joined a network but due to issues they are having the partnership program is ending and the reason due is since they can't support channels within the network.
In the last week I've been contacted by three large networks. Fullscreen, Machinima and TheGameStation.
Machinima
Fullscreen
TheGameStation
So that's it guys. My gut is telling me to go with TheGameStation but I feel I still need to know more about Fullscreen before making my final decision.
It would be grateful if anyone could offer me some pointers on both these networks in terms of pro's and con's.
I don't really know of anyone who has had direct experience with TheGameStation but I imagine some have with Fullscreen so would love to know how you feel about them.
Thanks!

Machinima
Firstly the most I know out of all of them is Machinima and I've honestly never really had any interest to join them and the offer they gave me is pretty poor so they aren't an option.
I could probably earn more or the same direct with YouTube.
Fullscreen
Moving on now to Fullscreen. I don't really know much about these guys apart from what I've read on here and other websites. They seem a little desperate to get me.
I don't know how legit their intentions are but they are willing to offer 90/10 on all earnings and 100% earnings to me on the Sponsorship Campaigns with 12 months contract instead of 24 months.
They are stating they are the only network which can promote or market me like them and can help since they are the biggest network on YouTube.
I can understand they are but they also have over 12,000 people with them so obviously the numbers are going to be big.
I don't know how to feel about them honestly. They aren't dedicated to just gaming, already have thousands of people with them. Seem too desperate to get me just for more numbers to their books.
TheGameStation
I've known of these guys for quite along time but never had an interest in them since I thought they only accept the big boys.I prefer these since they only deal with gaming channels and only have 400+ people instead of 10,000+
I've spoken to them since I know some people have applied on the website but been moved to the Maker/RPM networks with the chance of being promoted to TheGameStation in the future.
I indeed would be joining directly with TheGameStation so I would be apart of the same network such as Yogscast, TotalBiscuit, PewDiePie and alot more.
They have offered 1-1 support on to promoting the channel across the network, YouTube and social media. Help me with branding and being in touch with game companies for special content (I do this already but more would help). Joint videos with other partners in the same network.
The content I would be doing is more inline with those with TGS doing videogame commentaries and let's plays on PC and next gen. I feel their audience might appreciate me more.
The offer is only 24 months and the % would be a 70/30 for total earnings. The network I'm leaving now has the same deal but was for 50/50 so I should see an increase in earnings.
I honestly feel that TheGameStation have been open and honest about what they can do and they do seem to be the type of company I would want associated with my channel.
So that's it guys. My gut is telling me to go with TheGameStation but I feel I still need to know more about Fullscreen before making my final decision.
