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.

fknvlinkKatsumiJayden- This is starting to get really annoying, honestly.
Remember like 5 years ago when anybody could do anything on YouTube? Copyright was heard of but it wasn't really a big deal.
It's getting out of hand. But I suppose, people must have the correct rights to their own content.
It really has Skyrocketed over the past year or so. I don't see why companies find it so vital to do things such as this
because they can loose a lot of money and publicity for this stuff. It's like a snowball effect really.
How can they lose money and PUBLICITY from people making videos.
They GAIN publicity if anything because people watch videos featuring their games which is publicity lmao. It is basically free advertising and people who think "This game looks fun" because the youtuber played it, they buy it and also GAIN money as well.
