OT: Lol at this dev commiting suicide by doing this, good luck coming back from this kind of bad press if/when it gets around more publicly.
Wow...this is...just WOW!
I cannot figure out just what could drive this action after how badly the last copyright incident turned out. I've been a fan of TBs since watching his Worgen starting zone videos and if this keeps happening he could be at actual risk of either losing his channel or just quitting out of frustration which would both be a terrible outcome.
I suspect someone at the dev thought maybe all the press would boost sales like someone mentioned above but that seems like far too big a gamble to spur on doing something like this.

In the case of Square Enix, it most likely due to a case of hydra (common problem with Japanese publisher), where each Square Enix Japan sending out the strike, while their America and EU offices get annoyed by that decision, as they are the one one who usually have to deal with most consumer and professional that would be affected by those strike and salvage the situation.Barbas said:

You don't have to prove to Google that you're innocent as much as treadwater for a few months until the burden of proof gets shifted back to the people making the claim.Nihlus2 said:
Those guidelines are interesting, but they either mean that Total Biscuit definitely doesn't have a strike against his account or that Youtube have made some kind of exception for him. Because according to the guidelines not being in good standing prevents you from uploading videos more than 15 minutes long and he's definitely not being restricted by that.
It might be a multi-channel network thing protects people from those kind of consequences. YourMovieSucks is another channel that's constantly receiving strikes and they're not having those priviledges restricted either. I wouldn't be surprised if Google were doing it to force people to sign up to networks
This is just another vulgar display of youtube's broken system. TotalBiscuit hit again for telling his well thought opinion? He may be a little guy, but he's got a sizable audience. I hope Fun Creator gets bit in the ass big time for this. I'm up for signing a petition that requires an essay included to show my legit concern over this.
TB has always been well withing his right to fair use of game footage. I can't wait for some ass of a game company to force a take-down of his Content Patch videos 'cause he had an OC Remix of one of their game's song at the end and we'd never here OC Remix saying they got a letter saying they had to take the song off their servers. "Let's silence our critics, because that's always is the best way to make money without much effort."
Honestly, Youtube needs to start penalizing these false take-downs somehow. If they don't have a Youtube channel, they should have great limits put on how many strikes they can try to issue and a person(with the ability to reason not some dumb computer) should review all their strikes they issue for a long time. And If they have their own monetized channels, along with the watch on their actions like without a channel it should be a direct deduction of funds and big enough that the greedy execs don't try to take a hit to silence dissidence.
This is what we were worried about before net neutrality even fell. Companies will try to screw any threat at making more money even if it's legal to exist, especially if they have an easily exploited weakness. TB is a little guy who can't afford strikes on his major source of income. I only hope some other jackass companies doesn't take a juicy opportunity to hit him with more strikes right now. He does have a young son, you greedy bastards.

So you are okay with a company making a false copyright claim to censor something they don't agree with because you don't like the person who made the video in question?llagrok said:
Welp, turns out that FunCreators got caught after all.
Honestly, abuse of this shit should be criminal, given how it's directly interfering with the law (Fair Use).
If Youtube's monitoring process wasn't so fucked up, TB would have grounds to sue.
I fixed that for you. Because you don't get to speak for everyone, and thank goodness for that.

Kind of hard to for Funcreators to deny issuing the claim when ""► WTF Is... - Gui..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by FUN Creators." appears on the video in question when searched on youtube.
Apparently he also thinks that providing free advertising for small studios is bad too. It is one thing to say his videos are bad, but he has implied that they are not useful. Gee, llagrok, you ruined your reputation just as quickly as these other two companies did. Well done, sir.CriticalMiss said:
YouTube doesn't care. They have made that painfully obvious on numerous occasions. They're so big that they get money regardless of what people think because they're really the only option most people have. Thus, they don't bother. They know people will still use their site. Sad really.themilo504 said:
On topic, this is like going after Adam and Rev3Games. This is something you just. Don't. DO. Good-bye FUN Creators.
Sure, because a content provider you don't personally like is obviously worse than a company breaking the law to silence criticism about their shitty game so they might be able to fool a few more people into giving them money before the word is out to everyone.llagrok said:
Do you not see how ridiculous your statement is?
This just seems so wierd to me. I haven't even seen TB's review because it was pretty obvious that GotW was a bad game just from watching the trailer/gameplay video on steam. I love the concept but the game itself just isn't up to par.
And instead of just letting the negative reviews exist, the creators decided to be a dick about someone calling them out on their work which only makes them look like a bully. TB is going through a lot of crap he shouldn't have to and FUN could be actually taking the criticism and making a GOOD game out of Guise of the Wolf.
Instead we have this crap. *Sigh*
