"HE IS GIVING YOU FREE ADVERTISEMENT!"

Yeah but what if someone don't want racist-guy to advertise their game? Like I know if you said that even just a few years ago people would probably look at you like there was something wrong with you but now hopefully, it's not such a controversial thing to think. To think, "What if I don't want the most viewed video about my game on YouTube to be full of possibly racist and other horrible poo poo?"

Is Destiny 2 actually any better than Destiny? All I see all over is people sucking the dick of Destiny and saying "If you liked Destiny 1, you'll love this~!" somehow without even acknowledging that Destiny 1 was frankensteined into a different game more and more with each successive DLC release. Is it actually good, or is everyone shills?

If you don't like Destiny 1 even with the fixes and changes then you're not gonna like it. Its very much "more Destiny 1" but it does look like Destiny 2 starts from where Destiny 1 ended, it doesn't repeat the same mistakes.

I agree that campo santo shouldn't have the right to take down the videos (unrelated ones at that) because it'd establish the same legal precedent that the persona publishers think actually exists and were trying to hide behind with their 'don't post vids of our game' thing (it currently does not). The video where he actually says the slur should be reported and removed because there already are rules in place saying you can't do that kind of thing.

edit: And I guess their counterargument to that would be that the video represents them because it's of their game but I don't agree, pewdiepie's videos are very much more about the personality than the game as are the vast majority of non five billion subscriber let's plays (including mine!)

at the same time though dont game devs have a right to decide their public image. like if someone with ten million subscribers uploaded a video of them playing super mario and then the rest of their videos were them saying that the jews did 9/11 that'd cause association

The legal precedent has long, long, long been established, dude. That's how copyright law works in the US right now. If you don't like it you need to lobby for reform.

Its nothing about representation. You can use clips of somebody's game without permission if its part of criticism or parody but showing unedited live footage for hours is going too far. Its the same reason why projects like Rifftrax have to sell you an MP3 you listen to along the movie, just talking over a movie isn't enough to consider it a unique work.

Its an awkward double standard (along with tons of US law) that most people don't believe exists, but that's absolutely how it works. You can get away with posting movies on youtube (obviously illegal) but if somebody notices then it'll get taken down and good luck going to court over it.

You could totally do a review of a game full of racial slurs under fair use though. Reviews are fair use. Public demonstrations of the entire game are probably not but ianal

It's fair enough that they wouldn't want to be associated with noted racist pewdiepie, I can understand that, but I think it would be a very different case and they would have ground to stand on if he had actually said the stuff on a video of one of their games. At that point I think it'd be within their rights to take it down because it's their property and he violated pre-existing rules by saying slurs and poo poo. But imo the difference lies in their lack of direct involvement.

You could argue that he himself is tainted by his many actions and so even if he doesn't do anything in the firewatch video just having a firewatch video associates them and implies a sort of agreement or endorsement by them.

But I think its pretty clear this was punitive on the firewatch devs' part.

But I think that's okay?

imo just speaking up against him is enough to confirm the opposite and the videos are months-to-years old so legally removing them is more of a sentimental victory than something that'll have an actual effect, but it's whatever. They shouldn't, but if it happens then it happens and the aforementioned gray area shifts more toward companies than the end user in the grand scheme- which is fine because it already is pretty slanted in their favor, drop in the bucket etc

People also upload content they don't have rights for and try to protect themselves from liability by saying "No copyright infringement intended." which is, uh, not how that works.

Copyright law, especially Fair Use, is extraordinarily complicated so I wouldn't look to the average YouTube user for guidance on the rules.

e: Here's Google's official non-answer about the rules for video games on YouTube.
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/138161?hl=en

"Get a license from the publisher" & "Videos simply showing a user playing a video game or the use of software for extended periods of time may not be accepted for monetization"

If you want to go down the fair use rabbit hole, there's a pretty good Internet-literate primer here
http://dlrp.berkman.harvard.edu/node/82

There's a 4-factor test and no promises about which of the factors will be seen as most important by the judges on your case.

Then if you want to go further down, you can learn about the DMCA and the ways it is stacked in favour of the complainant. My memory is that if Firewatch Dev submits a complaint, YouTube has to take it down and then PDP can file paperwork to contest the complaint.

Uh-oh everybody we gotta defend Felix now game company is doing a bad thing that might affect his livelihood we gotta stand with our gaming brother.

I mean it is a blatant abuse of DMCA and YouTube's system that will only open the door for more shithead developers using it to silence criticism, target people they don't like, etc. This sort of thing isn't really excusable because Nintendo & Sega do it too, they're just as much of shitheads for doing that. As is that mentally damaged person Alex Mauer who flared up some poo poo a few weeks ago.
