If It is, then I'm going to be wondering what happened to the three bajilion or more game channels I am forever telling @YouTube I am sick of seeing in my feed. There are 3. I watch and it's because they are friends. Am I losing their content too?

Probably copyright complications. People with rights to the music, the game manufacturers having rights to the game content, and fair use is less clear than people ever assume. Still stupid. Good way to boost some competition though. Twitch by no means bans that.

If game companies would just stop being greedy and make good games it would be free advertisement. I hope that's not it though. Gaming and YouTube go so hand and hand.

Advertising is often already free. Exposure is rarely something the companies fighting these battles are lacking. Nintendo, for instance, by no means needs the extra "advertising" of someone playing Pokemon games (modded or legit). And indie devs often include those permissions.

I would disagree. It's very noticeable to me the games that advertise vs the games that don't. Sure some cases some games will sell themselves but thats definitely not always the case. I would argue even the norm. Nintendo is like a cult classic.

What company that doesn't already have their marketing well covered (in a far more controlled way) and their names well known is trying to claim gameplay videos, issuing takedowns, etc?

I'm having a hard time understanding this first tweet. However I have seen some companies in gaming use various techniques to suppress bad reviews. Not sure if that's what you're asking.

Not really. That's more outright censorship, and many times at odds with the law. Some companies are fairly notorious for not just allowing gameplay footage to be used (not to mention showcasing unauthorized mods and such). Like Nintendo.

But this problem only seems to crop up with existing giants. With companies who are WELL known already, who have very controlled and produced advertising. Basically I was asking what companies that *aren't* that are even causing these issues?

Because FOSS games obviously don't - it's in the EULA, along with almost every other imaginable permission. Small indie games don't. Indie games that have gotten bigger don't seem to, either (like a plethora of steam games). Usually, it's AAA titles and giants.

Hell the basically done to death game MineCraft has a EULA with a variety of ways you're allowed to make money off of it. I doubt they need the publicity so much anymore, except MAYBE to showcase new updates to it. Yet here you go!

And if you *have* those permissions, if the title includes it in their license or even is willing to grant it to you, according to YT's own pages you CAN monetize gameplay of it through them. It's (mostly?) the big names - who don't care about your "free advertising" - you can't.
