Apparently, microsoft also just added a license to their games that authorizes users to make machinima with them: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/005419.php Pretty cool, actually. Not the response I would have expected from them. Was going to complain that microsoft has been capitalizing on this “viral” trend by using fake machinima in some ads for a while.
