Thing is, the video about Gary's Incident got 600k views, which is more than he normally gets. The video he made about how his video about Gary's Incident got taken down, however, got 3 million views.krazykidd said:
Just because you're threatened by something, doesn't mean it's right to get it censored, both ethically and practically. Because the devs of Gary's Incident took the video down, roughly 10x more people found out about how bad their game is.
Oh man...that's HILARIOUS. They're going to get DESTROYED.
You just don't fuck with TB.
He will tear you to pieces.
No game dev will EVER pick a fight with his channel and win.
.....and TB is gonna make a pile of money off the views this is going to generate.
This type of human stupidity fills me with diabolical glee. I love watching fools destroy themselves.

Everyone inherently has permission. It's the law.
Heh heh. IIRC TB straight up dared them to do this a couple of times on the review. Some people just can't resist a dare...the fools.
what a bunch of idiots. Did they not learn anything from what happened with Day One: Garry's Incident.
well I hope FUN has fun with the streisand effect.

So before everyone gets their pitchforks out please read this:

The developer say they didn't do it. So what we have here is conflicting information especially since TB said it got taken down by them.
Either way it reflects badly on youtube. If it was an imposter doing it they should check it better who flags something. If it was the devs then it is still bullshit to takedown the review simply because the footage shouldd be under fair use. Ohh yeah and if it is the latter shame on the devs

They don't appear to check at all. I've seen videos taken down that were flagged by Adolph Hitler, so the process is either automated or Google staff are too stupid to live.Kyrdra said:
Well, this just got more interesting.Kyrdra said:
I could see some dumb bot or other party take it down out of incompetence.
But I could also see the developers taking it down and then disavowing it to try and draw attention to their game.
It's completely automated. I've had to deal with this broken system for about 2 years now since I do LPs. When you are uploading, during the final part of uploading they run an algorithm on the file to see if anything in your video is copyrighted. If it is then it will automatically either get a 3rd Party Content ID or an actual Copyright Strike. After that, anyone can flag the video claiming to own it, even if they don't own the legal rights to it in any way, shape, or form.Reed Spacer said:
There is a giant server that the algorithm is stored in that has certain phrases, parts of songs, names, etc. that it uses to detect if the video has copyrighted material. That stuff is all used during the processing of the video mostly. They also check the tags as well and have started putting claims on videos if they have certain tags...
The system is completely broken and YouTube has pretty much said that they won't be fixing it at all. The best example of how broken the system is comes from an anecdote of mine. Last year I had reuploaded my first episode of Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix (PS2) and silenced Simple and Clean to fall under Fair Use. I also did the same thing once I made a video about the HD 1.5 ReMix that had just come out (I imported and translated the Awakening part). Well I ended up getting a Copyright Notice from a company known as The Orchard Music. Apparently I had used their music, which I didn't since Orchard owned no rights to Kingdom Hearts, nor were affiliated with EMI Studios Japan, Square Enix, or Disney. Well the part of the video they claimed was the part I muted, where there was no game audio nor commentary. Well I got an audio claim and not a video one, so apparently Orchard Music is trying to tell me that they've copyrighted silence (which in this day and age wouldn't surprise me). I fought them for about 2 months and emerged victorious, but it was a pain in the ass.
To summarize this, yes it is automated and it is broken as hell.
Glad I saw the video before takedown. Man that was fucking funny. Everyone else pretty much said what I was going to. So I'll just quote straight from the video.

Honestly, the best part of this whole thing is that the game looked so painfully bad I'm surprised it hasn't already joined Ride to Hell: Retribution 1% in the pantheon of Horrible, Horrible Games That No One Should Play.
Reading a bit on the steam forums and the twitter feeds, it seems like FUN Creators did and didn't do it.
The company itself presumably didn't do it and they do have a post were they refused a trolls suggestion to do exactly this.
They currently seem to be working with the Tb team to work this thing out and figure out who did it.
It seems it was someone from inside the company though.

The fact that Youtube says I cannot watch them makes me want to see them even more.
Oh Cynical Brit...when will you ever learn to back up your videos on multiple sites, like Blip?

Ahahah, oh gods I saw that video. The game was so bad I was crying my eyes out laughing.
They don't seem to be any better at PR than they are at making games. Little dicks trying to file copyright claims in order to cover up footage of their shitty game.

I actually showed my little brother a "highlight reel" of some of the worst glitches, voice acting and animations in the game. His respone?Fdzzaigl said:
He just made that face the entire video through.
I'm thoroughly convinced that the PR department is the biggest grindstone around game developments neck today. Microsoft keeps saying stupid shit, EA can't open their mouth without ledging a foot in there, etc, etc.Fdzzaigl said:
It's all really rather sad.
On the positive side, it seems like FUN aren't responsible for this entire clusterfuck. Rather, someone inside the company acted on his own to shut down TBs videos. Granted, wheter this is true or not, it'll still leave a black stain on the companys image.
Okay, looks like FUN may well be responsible for this, judging by this picture of an email/message TB received from them.
Either that or this Jasmine person is the one that did it =P
Although it might all be "photoshop games" XD
