WeGame: A (Better?) YouTube for Gamers?
WeGame launched just a short while ago, with a tag line of being a "YouTube for gamers". With the recent advances of machinima into areas increasingly closer to mainstream media, I immediately had two questions. Feel free to chime in:
1) For serious machinima, does it make sense to key into an audience of gamers-only?
and
2) Are you tempted to switch?
To put things into perspective, you do get some perks with WeGame. The site actually distributes their own recording software, for free. Furthermore, they have streamlined the process of uploading clips - as you shoot videos, they are immediately available in a little dashboard. You can then upload to the WeGame site. The agile software encodes the video for you and uploads it.
Another bonus: I have not seen the usual compression artifacts that you typically see with YouTube.
I'd love to hear other people's experiences with WeGame. The final quality of my test video made me very happy. I'm curious to try uploading some QuickTime or Windows Media machinima and see how it measures up.

I'm Still Seeing Breen is on WeGame (did you post it?)
WeGame, I find, is a better environment to gaming videos. The only problems are that:
1) People who aren't gamers won't find the video easily (if you want to target those people too)
2) Doesn't support flash 7 (can't watch it on the Wii, etc).
3) Can't delete videos
And I would really like it if you could also edit some parts out of the video when it's uploaded.
Personally, I think it's great. I have my own account on there and it's really nice. It doesn't have the section of youtube (some users find posting other people's vids will solve this problem, but then that's really just harming wegame).
