I'm sorry to be one of "those guys" so feel free to rate dumb, but could someone give a simple summary as to whats going on? I'm curious but don't like to sit through these 10 minute videos
Moose's 5 steps to knowledge!
1: TotalBiscuit asked for a review copy from the developers and got it.
2: TotalBiscuit criticized the game.
3: A few weeks later, the developers removed the video with a DMCA takedown. An illegal act because of the fair use doctrine.
4: TotalBiscuit then made this video to explain the situation, explain shady deals the developers have made to promote their games and to highlight how easily people can abuse the automatic system of Youtube to remove videos and to add strikes to accounts (3 strikes and your account is closed).
5: Optional step: read some fucking books, it will make you smart! c:
