Thank you for your interest in what has been happening with Microsoft and machinima lately. This film was originally designed to not only satirize the rules, but organize support for a petition to change them.

Before the film could be released, some key members of the machinima community had a conference call with Microsoft... and Microsoft listened! They have since revised and clarified the rules to better serve machinima creators, and most of the issues we'd have asked for your help raising have already been addressed. All it took was a phone call, in which it was discovered that they'd already been listening to concerned players! You can read all about it via the coverage below.

They make you guys go through all that for their games? What a load of crap! I'm not a machinima artist, but some of those rules are just way too deliberate. I understand the "no purchasing" and the "no CCL", but no game music? Or mentioning the game's name?

Argh!



 

xD these rules are so retarded!



 

thats funny
