Did you read the article? These arrangements are supposed to be transparent, you are not allowed to keep the advertisement a secret, thus the "Being investigated for FTC regulations" It is not the same as what others do. Still waiting for the other cases where this has happened........

Theres nothing secret about it!
Hello.
|
Obviously never even read the article, participants are NOT ALLOWED to say they were a part of a pormotion, which breaks FTC regulations.........MS already are blaming machima for it so they know it is wrong.
|
Oops. Sorry I didnt realise there was info edited. LOL.
The article says Machina wrote the E-mail. How is it saying is Microsofts fault? I doubt with all its lawyers and its years of experience with Advertising that MS would make such a BIG mistake.
I find it funny peoploe twisting this onto Microsoft when the E-mail never came from them. Typical..
EDIT: Machina got caughht out last E3 with something else in the same way. So twice its Machinima, but becaue its Xbox this time its somehow Microsoft being ilegal? Machinima will get done for it if anyone. Microsoft made no such NDA.
The tthread title should be changed to be in line with the article.
|
Do you think Machinima decided to advertise for Microsoft out of the goodness of their hearts?
|
No. But achinima has admitted to making the E-mail. MS had nothing to do with that E-mail. And in Macinimas defence its worded about the Monetary value not the promotion itself. So As Microsoft andMacinima point out. Its not illegal it turns out. Nothing will come of this smart marketing.
|
You will believe everything they said?
|
We will se. Especially now its been pointed out in another thread that Sony, Samsung and Ea do it with the same wording.
