Star Citizen
Star Citizen 's FOIP is particularly useful for machinima.
With the game being in alpha, technical issues are common, so players tend to chose to keep their filming teams small to mitigate disconnection issues, or work those issues such as T-posing into their story.
Cloud Imperium Games has held official machinima contests with rewards.
Some Star Citizen players who made Machinimas ended up working for CIG, such as AlexS189 who became Junior Marketing Artist working on cinematic ship commercials.
