FTC: Machinima Took Secret Cash To Shill Xbox One

Posted by samzenpus on from the was-that-wrong? dept.

jfruh writes: The Machinima gaming video network took money from a marketing agency hired by Microsoft to pay "influencers" up to $45,000 to promote the Xbox One. Crucially, the video endorsers did not disclose that they'd been paid, which has caused trouble with the FTC. For its part, Machinima notes that this happened in 2013, when the current management was not in charge.

    So if the management changes, the current management is not responsible for anything.

    Of course, that was WAY back in 2013, when Allen DeBevoise was the CEO of the company. Now he's just the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

    Lol, I'm not even joking.
