1. old article with old rules http://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-microsoft-rules-prohibit-users-from-profiting-on-created-content/1100-6397939/ 

2. new rules straight from xbox http://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/rules 

3. new article about new rules http://ap.ign.com/m/minecraft/85568/news/microsoft-announces-new-rules-for-streaming-and-le 

I'll leave my opinion on the matter out of it for a while. I'd like to see what everyone thinks on this. Please discuss.

Edited. I made some adjustments and reworded some stuff. Just to let you know the only real change between the new and old rules is being able to make money off of ads now.

That article is from 2012

Probably a misunderstanding.

I don't see Microsoft making the same mistake as companies like Nintendo as being against "Let's Play" content. It's free marketing after all, and Microsoft said they're in support of this kind of stuff.

that articles from 2012 xD. and i love how the actual new rules state that you can in fact make profit. wow do your research man
