So no punishment at all?

According to the article:

Machinima will not pay a monetary fine, but Polygon reports that, now that this order has been approved, any future violation will be subject to a penalty of up to $16,000.

Microsoft bears no material responsibility in this case, as the FTC said, "these appeared to be isolated incidents that occurred in spite of, and not in the absence of, [Microsoft] policies and procedures designed to prevent such lapses."

What a joke. Machinima was able to pay 45 thousand dollars to some youtubers so they could make a couple of Xbox One positive reviews, and they are supposed to be intimidated by a 16k penalty?

Give me a break...
