Why would it be any different? 

I wasn't expecting it to be any different, but I can still see takedowns being the usual form of play.

It's their game, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

If I were to release a game I'd partner with certain big Youtubers and allow them to post videos about it, up to a certain point.

I would block lets players who upload entire playthroughs on youtube, that shit cost sales.

It should be general policy actually, your game gets exposed and have people talk about it, but also cuts off those who wouldn't have bought actually to buy it.

Is there any proof at all that playthroughs lower sales of games?

There is none, because he'd actually have to go out and count heads. Same argument goes towards those citing piracy as a "lost sale", it's not remotely good enough to toss out "definitely" without backing it up with concrete irrefutable proof, from multiple sources at that.

Why would anyone seeking out those videos or streams care about spoilers? This sounds just like harassment of content creators under the guise of "protecting the fans". That's even worse than just being an asshole, it's being an asshole and lying about it.

Or maybe they're just very very naive and think they can somehow control the internet with threats.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Good on them. Dunno why it's normally accepted with games. When a new movie comes out you don't see tons of streams popping up from people watching the whole movie in the cinema...

Two entriely different issues.

If it's a heavily story driven game it really isn't. Besides it's up to the content owner to decide how far fair use can go. Broadcasting the game from start to finish is definitely not fair use.

They're in the wrong business if they don't want people posting it onto YouTube.

I don't understand the logic in that comment, but I'm from before the entitlement generation and you tube and the internet :)

Gaming has become inseparable from streaming and videos.
