YouTubers paid to play nice with Xbox One

They weren't expecting it to be such a big disappointment, they thought people will give everything for one but now they have to prove to people that they want one by making good reviews to tell the people to buy one.

When you see a special of R3000 or even R4000 I would not mind getting myself one , but only if the price is right , but it will only reach that price in a few years, so I agree with you.

I have seen a few vids where the guys put the hdmi of the ps4 into the xbox where the the dstv or tv should come, so if they save xbox tv , them he opens the window where you can play ps4, looks very good

An update from Micro$oft:

Microsoft and Machinima have issued a statement regarding an advertising arrangement that saw YouTube content producers make additional revenue for promoting the Xbox One.

The deal paid out an additional $3 for every thousand views a video received, provided it both mentioned the Xbox One by name and included thirty seconds of footage of the console's games. The video was also not to contain anything negative about the Xbox One, its games, or the Machinima network.

It also appeared that the YouTube creators were required to keep any details about the arrangement private, but Microsoft and Machinima say that this clause related to specifics about the deal, rather than the existence of the deal itself.

"This partnership between Machinima and Microsoft was a typical marketing partnership to promote Xbox One in December," said the joint statement. "The Xbox team does not review any specific content or provide feedback on content. Any confidentiality provisions, terms or other guidelines are standard documents provided by Machinima. For clarity, confidentiality relates to the agreements themselves, not the existence of the promotion."

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, a Machinima representative added that these deals usually require content creators to identify that their videos are being sponsored--but that this didn't always happen in the Xbox One promotion deal.

“That didn’t happen here and we’re evaluating why,” the company said. “All participants are being asked today to include our standard language going-forward. We apologize for the error and any confusion.”

Microsoft added that the company was not aware of any of Machinima's contracts, and that it asked the company to make sure disclaimers were added to any videos in the promotion to make people aware of the advertising deal.

The document originally stated that payment was limited to the first 1.25 million video views in the promotion, which means the deal would be capped at $3750. The promotion is said to have expired on January 16.

What would you do if you had to spent a lot of money to dev one and now it is not syuch a big success, certainly not spent more money on reviews.
 
One would think after all of last year's bad decisions and heavy negative fan feedback they would try and avoid all controversy?
 
It seems like M$ are still idiots..... :rolleyes: But don't worry, I'll still be getting an Xbox One when they release the Slim/Elite/whatever the 2nd revision will be called. That goes for the PS4 as well.

Best of all worlds I say. :)
 
Anyone who thinks this is new is a fool. Reviews have been a cash business for years and years already. Always has been pathetic, always will be pathetic.
