I guess idiots never learn. It's also a sad show of the industry that people are filing copyright on a video becuase they don't like what it says about their product. This is probably going to end the exact same way the original incident went.
Guise of the Wolf Dev Takes Down Negative YouTube Review - Update 2

Of all the people on YouTube they could go after they chose TotalBiscuit. That didn't end well for the Gary's Incident developers and it isn't going to end well for the Guise of Wolf guys either.

To everyone that seems to think TB is saving up for some massive rant video, I am not so sure he is.
When the Garry's Incident devs did this, he had it ready the same day, or a day after, I forget. For this one he seems to be letting Polaris handle it. I wonder if something has him spooked.

I don't understand how anyone could think this would have any positive effect for them.
EVERYONE hates your shit game! What's the point of attacking just one person who is bashing it when all the other criticism will still be there. Especially when you attack someone who has the popularity to make it even worse for you.
I think simply refusing to buy the game and anything "Fun"Creators make isn't enough. I say we make sure we don't buy anything for any developer who ever employs any the top guys in the team. Making a terrible game could be a learning experience but harassing people who honestly point out the terribleness of your game is something which should justifiably ruin your career.

Photoshopped? They really said 'Photoshopped'? If this is the level of technical competence the developers have I don't even need to see a review of their game.Steven Bogos said:
If he'd wanted to Total Biscuit could have changed that email in a text editor. But why would he even want to? I would think it would be easier to get the strike removed if he had evidence that it did not come from anyone with a legitimate copyright to the game. Fair use is a good defense, but being able to prove that the complaint came from someone with no rights to the game would be even better.
Is that real? I'm now inclined to think that they have had their email account hacked by someone trying to make things worse for them. They can't really be so stupid as to have sent that email, surely?cursedseishi said:
If I had coffee, I'd be sueing your asses off, right now. My screens and speakers would be broken! Anyways, this is just the weakest response to critisism I've ever heard...
Pretty much a moot point now; you can't really get more fucked than completely fucked, and they passed that hurdle a while back.CriticalMiss said:
Just floating another idea out there. Does anyone think that Valve deserves some of the blame for this?
The fact that Steam doesn't have a decent level of quality control for its games means that terrible games like this will be produced fairly often.
TB, as a reviewer, will feel professionally (and morally) obligated to protect consumers from shoving $15 up their own dick holes, buying this thing.
The talentless, and apparently completely childish and delusional, developers then copyright strike him for it.
Obviously Valve's blame is well down the list after "Fun"Creator and Youtube but they still contribute in some way to the environment where this kind of shit happens.

Way to destroy your companies image before most people know who you are. I had never even heard of them until now and after seeing their most recent email to TB I can safely say I will never purchase anything from them.
Uh... Wow... I don't know whether to laugh uproariously, or shake my head in utter disbelief. I fear that if I attempt to do both at the same time, I'll take an eye out.
That last e-mail, if it is true, is going straight into blackmail territory. Threatening to say it's false? If it does go to court, it's a bullet in the face of their defense.

These Devs are so stupid, even if they succeed, they are putting out a fire after it already burnt down the house.
The last time something like this happened it was a PR disaster for the publisher. Stuff like this could probably work on smaller video creators but TB is going to rip them a new one. Developers should really know by now that this stuff doesn't work.
If I could I'd take down all of his videos. Shame they can only do it for his.
Yeeeaah I don't really like the guy.

What the fuck? Is that company ran by 12 year old trolls?
Maybe you should reconsider your position. You don't have to like him personally, but you cannot in the right mind deny his usefulness to gaming community.Tom_green_day said:
Funny how there are people who are so rooted in their hate for something that they are actually hoping the devs win this.
I have had yet for someone to tell me why exactly they don't like TB, but that's irrelevant anyway. The point is, someone attempted to silence criticism, whether you liked it or not. It's really not that hard to understand.
I hate things too, but if they don't cause harm to anything then there's no point or justification for me to want its demise. Same goes for you people who wish TB would fail.

I still say that title goes to the douchebag PR dude for those special modified controllers that went absolutely fuck-nuts when some guy wrote in an email about not getting his controller when he was supposed to.Adam Jensen said:
You all remember the story, right? The guy that didn't get his controller ended up writing to Penny Arcade about it and then the PR dude REALLY flipped his shit claiming to know everyone from Cliff Bleszinski to the mayor of New York to Sean Connery to Jesus Christ himself. He went on to get blasted across the internet as THE Douchebag of the 21st Century. A very surprising feet seeing as how we're only a decade into said century.
I'm sure if you were to ask Google to go over the whole Fair Use legalities and how the vast majority of the copyright complaints they receive should be ignored due to Fair Use, they'd smile, say they understand your concern, and ask you to wait a moment while they go check the back room. Approximately three minutes later they'll return, saying that they're incredibly sorry, but when they went to check they found that they're quite simply all out of fucks to give.themilo504 said:
