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.

I think these companies that are claiming copyright are just so stupid, I mean it is a huge source of free marketing. I have seen many gameplays on YouTube that weren't from the production company and I have seen some gameplays that have made me want to buy that game and in even some cases I have bought the game after watching some gameplay.

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 believe the same thing was happening during Black Ops 1/ MW3.
OT, if anything I think people making videos on a certain game, would promote the game if anything. I don't see why claims are being made.
