FRONTBURNR: This past week has been a headache for me on social media. The buzz has been on the outrage of Microsoft working with Machinima to offer CPM bonuses for favorable content on the Xbox One. I try to ignore it but it keeps coming back. Isn’t it time for the general community to find something else to be outraged about? Heck, Senran Kagura Burst is in the 3DS eShop and I swear it sets back any discussion of gender equality by years. No? We want to bellyache about CPM bonuses? Hold on to your butts then, because I am going to lay some truth on you. It’s not an uncommon practice.
"Digital Extremes are today very happy and proud to announce that Warframe’s next highlightly anticipated Prime form launches soon with Protea Prime Access arriving on all platforms on May 1st, 2024." - Digital Extremes.
GB: "After its disastrous launch all those years ago, many players are rediscovering Fallout 76 and how much it's improved."
Players had high expectations for Destiny’s latest content drop, Destiny 2: Into the Light. Not only did it have to live up to other content added due to a delay, it needed to give players faith the conclusion of the Light and Dark Saga will be worthwhile. - IS
It is deceptive to the consumer without giving the proper disclosure to the consumer. The fact that they had these YouTube people sign a nondisclosure agreement lends to the fact that they knew what they were doing was dishonest and unethical.
The excuse that a lot of company's do this is a very poor and childish excuse. Dishonest is dishonest no matter how many people do it.
Getting people to give a paid for opinion with limitations and nondisclosure is completely dishonest and manipulative.
"Video game community, this is my plea: Please, please, please stop getting worked up over such silly and trivial things."
This is what should have been the main title and banner for all gamers to live by.
"Business sponsorship and advertising has infiltrated a lot of what we do these days."
Which is now more important than ever to just judge for yourself when it comes to games. That is why I strongly recommend Gamefly or any other gaming rental service. When a game is praised or hyped, no matter what I rent it first..(unless I am honestly excited for it, Mario Kart 8).
But to go on forums and just write pure hate and be so upset about something that has no effect on you personally is so ridiculous and such a big waste of time.
It's nice to see the folk on N4G stand up for consumer law and stuff, but let's be honest, you've only been bothered about this kind of practice since it supported your anti-xbox agendas....which by itself is a little sad.
Why aren't you campaigning about something wothwhile, like dolphins getting caught in tuna nets??
I love this website - it offers hours of entertainment.
This is a big deal and illegal bro what do u think
"If you think that the guy that brought this to the surface is “The Edward Snowden of gaming”, I’ll be honest with you, I have some choice words for you and your feelings may get hurt."
Haha.. Sums up my opinion of it as well
