Gameplay videos getting flagged on YouTube again
"Nothing illustrates the incredible growth and evolution of YouTube better than the enterprise class of businesses being built on the platform today," the statement reads. "As these networks grow, we're making product and policy updates that will help them operate at scale. We are also rolling out tools that will provide more transparency for creators and networks alike. This is part of our commitment to ensure that all enterprise partners can continue to thrive and be successful on YouTube."
Some publishers, such as Capcom, Deep Silver, Ubisoft and Blizzard, are asking users to contest the claims so they can quickly dismiss the dispute from their end, while others report a third-party account called 4GamerMovie is specifically targeting all Metro: Last Light footage. Another company called IDOL, which has been known to issue claims on a much smaller scale in the past, is also contesting YouTube videos.
Earlier this year, Nintendo issued mass claims for a wide number of Let's Play videos. While anyone is free to upload footage of a game to YouTube, those videos technically do not fall under Fair Use.

Cyimking Don't understand why uploading gameplay should be flagged. Stupid rule.
Copyright and all, while it's a little stupid it does make sense

Cokes This isn't new, always happen.
Nah I wouldn't necessarily say that it always happens. To be honest it has never happened to me before. YouTube are making some users crazy by having a Google+ account which is absolutely stupid and different themes like every couple of months. It's too much. It's getting out of hand.

Hasn't "always happened." It's just happened before and is happening again.
YouTube is making so many bad changes for the worse that are actually hurting their market; such as changing the layout every month, this video flagging, and making it so you need a Goole+ account to do practically anything.

One-X good. im tired of seeing gameplay videos. why you wanna watch someone play or stuff. pointless.
maybe because people enjoy watching others play? who are you to judge on what someone watches and doesn't watch on youtube?

That's your taste, but acknowledge that other people have there own. Many people are huge fans of watching other people play games on YouTube. I myself find it quite entertaining
I agree with Katsumi. I enjoy watching gameplays so it's a pity they're getting flagged.

I've been following this on YouTube for a bit. Sounds horrible. I really wish all these people the best of luck. A job is a job and when it takes as much effort as YouTube does they deserve everything they earn. Now that's all on the line.

I used to love watching X's Minecraft series back in the day. I can see where One-x is coming from since I'd rather play the game, but it's still kind of fun to watch a gameplay with or without commentary.
