And why does Microsoft get off scott free here. 

This is why I don't trust the media's constant barrage of pro Xbox content.  I really have a hard time beliveing that Machina is the only one doing these deals. 

Its so hard to trust anything I hear from gaming sites anymore. 

i'm starting to feel bad for MS

They just wanna promote XB1.....cut them some slack.

Wasn't Microsoft the one coordinating all of this? Why aren't they even mentioned? Machinima itself has nothing to gain by doing this without funding from Microsoft.

Do the youtubers lose anything besides credibility? I mean they got paid thousands just to a make those videos. I don't think thats fair if they get away with it

Not surprising MS had to go to these measures to get positive news for the X1 at launch.

Does make you wonder about the numerous articles throughout this year with a laser focus on Q4 exclusives between PS4 and X1, and the brushing over of the rest of the year.

This really is going to make it hard for the legit reviewers to be taken seriously.

Wow Microsft shame on you for advertising your product.

Poor pooor little defenceless MS, getting slamed for lying & breaking the law, WHAT CRAZY WORLD DO WE LIVE IN??? /s

Yeah, because that is exactly the topic here, MS "advertising" their product... /s

When desperation sets in, things like this happen.
