Interesting post on Valve and YouTube's attitude to Machinima

5

Very interesting news from the guys at Pixel Eyes Productions - they’ve been trying to enable revenue sharing through ads on YouTube, and they’ve found the following:

  • YouTube won’t let them revenue share until they can prove rights to the video (not too surprising)
  • Valve won’t even respond to emails from them (slightly more surprising, but we’ve seen this before from several games companies - Microsoft being the big exception.)
  • Machinima.com DOES have revenue sharing enabled.

I’d be really interested to hear more on this topic from someone at the Machinima.com team - anyone?

Also, has anyone had more luck talking to Valve?

    yeah it’s always been puzzling how machinima.com can do that sort of stuff, and gain revenue. its like they’re playing by a different set of rules from the rest of us.

    Very interesting that the videos they are trying to get revenue share on are ones that are being displayed by Machinima.com on YouTube.

    Thanks for posting on the topic as well. We are still trying to make contact to get answers.

    The lack of response is definitely a bummer. And the situation with machinima.com being able to post whatever they want is strange.

    Hopefully we can shed light on this at some point. And with any luck be allowed to move forward.
