it probably doesn't spoil too much but you owe it to yourself to play Dishonored 2 because it owns. You don't play as Daud in DotO but instead you're his protege.

It's pretty remarkable how Dishonored got 2 base games, 2 excellent DLCs, and now a semi-expansion game. Regardless of sales Arkane has been free to do as they please and that's at least one good thing about being part of the Bethesda juggernaut. If only they did a better job advertising literally any of their games.
I will in all likelihood, it's just that the story "pitch" for D2 didn't immediately pique my interest in the same way DotD did.

Youtube has changed their entire algorithm for generating ad revenue such that tons of youtubers in gaming and various other categories are getting their videos auto-demonetized, regardless of it actually containing obscene or questionable content. The most prolific content creators have obviously been hit the hardest by this change, and suddenly half their videos which were paying out pennies for millions of clicks in the first place now generate no new revenue whatsoever.

No, it matters how they handle it, legally. The DMCA requires them to take down content complained about in a timely manner. If they fail to do this, then they lose the protections they get as being a pipeline for content and can become liable for any rule breaking. Look up DMCA Safe Harbor if you want to know more.

Oh, I'm not saying dmca isn't a factor, I'm just saying even if it didn't apply and they did have a legal high ground (which they don't) Google could still take it down. Like the reason most YouTubers always seem dumb about this poo poo is because YouTube is stricter than they have to because they'd rather be safe than sorry, so YouTubers people assume every slight against them is google doing more than they legally have to, not realizing that even when that is the case, google can do whatever they want

Companies have been doing that for years on youtube. Why would people think it's illegal now?

It was more so a "wait aren't LPs considered fair use?" and if so then that would raise the question as to whether or not it was legal or not.

However as someone pointed out, it's more so based on what Google do. Given the "Adpocalypse" happened sort of because of PewDiePie (I don't know if it did or didn't but some folks are claiming it did) then it would stand to reason Google are going to be more pants on head stupid with how it does its next method of culling the video creators into not hurting their bottomline.

Edit - This is also a decent moral "should they or shouldn't they" argument to be had as well.

the amount of deadpool cosplayers increases every year at New York Comic Con.

Last year was a mess mainly because I went as Soldier 76 and the condensation of the Javits Center fogged up the visor repeatedly to the point where I could barely see. After that I decided no more big masks or helmets for a while. This year I opted to go as Joker from Persona 5 which is infinitely easier on your vision.

I hope this stuff involving pewds doesn't result in some kind of easily-abused precedent regarding DMCA takedowns of gameplay footage.

I wanna believe it'll more or less police itself because if anyone tries issuing a takedown of someone for a reason that is legit BS instead of something reasonable like "we don't want this bad person associated with our product" then I imagine a bunch of people would fuss about something like that, considering that tons of people make a fuss about things way less important like the whole cuphead thing

I would put AM2R and maybe Prime 1 also in that category as well, though I can understand the Prime format not appealing to some.

Like Fusion is alright but people should be far more critical of its narrative issues for the same reasons they (rightfully) are of Other M. It's not as egregious as the latter but it's still not great.

A new game set after Fusion would be cool, with Samus having new powers due to being part metroid now and the federation being rather unhappy with her.

Makes sense, Fusion is still very playable nowadays, although you need either a WiiU, emulation or something that plays GBA games to actually play it, while Metroid 2 is, uh, not.

Sakamoto did a really great thing here. Fusion is still playable and a remake of the most linear Metroid wouldn't have been nearly as well-received as remaking the most ancient of your Metroid titles.

capcom did takedowns of a bunch of videos for basically no reason at all. other game companies simply monetize your videos and take all the ad revenue because google says they have copyright on footage of their games and you can't do poo poo about it.

Given the "Adpocalypse" happened sort of because of PewDiePie (I don't know if it did or didn't but some folks are claiming it did)

The adpocalypse happened because Disney sponsored Pewdiepie, Youtube was proud of having a popular star/mascot on their platform, then someone pointed out to both of them that he's actually a huge shitbird. Disney cut their ties to him and Youtube went one step further by implementing new tools in their ad services to allow ad buyers to exert more control over what sort of videos their ads get played in front of. This resulted in a lot of advertisers opting out of the edgier classifications favored by huge shitbirds and thus the revenue for those videos plummeting. It's sheer coincidence that a lot of gaming-oriented personalities are huge shitbirds.
