I love seeing people scramble to protect or cover up something. It's great.

Is this news?

Every single video game company, movie studio and record label does exactly the same thing all year round.

We're on a console gaming website. Microsoft makes the Xbox One which happens to be a gaming console. Oh... I'm sorry. This is your website. Well since the news is about Microsoft who makes the Xbox One and there are forums on this site, we decided to discuss it here. And yes, this is news because it's happening now in regards to Microsoft and Machinima. Unless you want us all to leave to discuss it somewhere else...?

They say it's illegal

I wonder why no one action yet if it's illegal,seems it's easy money to get and you don't even need to be Xbox owner

I don't think it's illegal, it's product integration and it existed for at least the last 6 years on youtube.

See doritos gate.

The article explains why it is in fact illegal, read it people.
