Machinima and RPM!!!!

[sandz]

Recieved offers from Machinima and RPM, and am waiting to hear back from another network. I'm looking at the pro's and con's and it kind of boils down to this:

Machinima - brand name, exclusive contracts with multiple gaming companies, huge fanbase, excellenet opportunity for exposure. Cons: long term contracts, response to inquiries can be slow. Seems to be a lot of negativity around this forum towards them, without detailed explanations.

RPM - Smaller, but community focused, short-term (1 year) contract. Cons: lacks the same exposure as Machinima.

Split is similiar between the two networks. What would you do and why?

Machinima is starting to lose a lot of really big youtubers. Not sure why.

Any specific names that you can think of?

PewDiePie is the most recent one I believe. There's been some talk about FPSRussia thinking about leaving as well.

Interesting....I could see FPS starting up his own network once his issue with his manager are resolved.

I was once with RPM and they were pretty good I guess. I got what I expected. I did not grow to much, but the support was very good. I have changed channels, and hope to soon look to either partner with them again or Machinima. They are both good in my opinion. And just wondering, how long did Machinima take to respond to your application? Good luck!

Hmm machinima. They emailed me 3 weeks after I applied in their application. It came out of nowhere XD

What type of problems, I've been doing research and all I can turn up are rumors. Everyone seems to have a negative opinion of Machinima, but is unable to explain why. I'm not here to defend them, but when you put your signature on a contract you're showing that you understand the content of the contract. RPM was unwilling to negotiate at all on the contract terms, but Machinima is.
