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

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 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 shouldn't even be reading this thread lmao, I remember someone spoiled me Force Awakens on here, and it wasn't even a comment but their nickname

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.

I warned you. The power has gone to their heads. Now we're all suffering...
