because if people don't play their games they get less sales. MINECRAFT has sold a shit ton because of youtube. ame with cod, gta, the last of us and many many more.

I am guilty of not buying beyond 2 souls because I was satisfied with the complete story watched on youtube. QD never made a penny off me. Why should I enjoy content for free that cost QD millions to make? Why should gamer_letsplayxXx make money off a game he is playing and recording?
It's perfectly reasonable when a company wants to make money off their property from people who don't play their games, but still benefit from the content. hundred of thousands watch WD telltale and probably dont buy it after because the story is complete.

Both sides have every right to do that. You see an ad. You have the right to ignore it. Even though that ad/product took millions to make. Just like your game sale. You decided if you wanted the game from a written article, on a website. And that site is making money from that article. Same process.

Those are coverage, those are ads. This is gameplay of a game someone worked on and spent their own money making and publishing. I'd rather reward the maker of the gamer than the person who plays the game and records their face, and clearly so do microsoft.

Well this argument won't really be cleared, till someone goes to court and play throughs become fully sanctioned by fair use, or not.
