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.

Um, no thanks? I'm not into sports or sports video games. EA (who owns the franchise) also is a giant. Plus I said the thing you described was closer to outright censorship and often runs at odds with the law, not remotely that it doesn't happen. So why exactly would I?

I guess my issue is solely with aaa titles. Because that's where most of the bad in gaming comes from.

Fair enough. And, I mean, it's no surprise. They can easily get away with it. Screw them. That and fight back (even legally, if you can, you in the general sense) when they try to use copyright law for censorship of criticism. That's a protected use (though use minimal amounts).

It happens more often than you might imagine.

Just a shift in who's doing it, then. Other industries have done the same. And US (at least) copyright law is SHIT. Stupid DMCA and it's moronic DRM clause and the nonsense that means these days... (more concerning IMO than takedowns and such that can get the companies sued).

So why are our laws so bad?

I blame Mickey Mouse and Disney. Which is also why we're FINALLY seeing things enter the public domain again - they changed their tactic to protect the damned mouse.

The Mickey Mouse curve, if you're wanting to k now about that blame. Though realistically that's only part of it. DMCA largely came about to fight piracy online. Downloading music (before digital downloads were even a thing), ripping CDs and DVDs, etc. That's also why DRM.

Back when...this kind of thing made enough sense at a glance if you had any digital library, the joke needed no justification or explanation: http://mafiaa.org/press_room/

RIAA eventually removed DRM from CDs and even a lot of mainstream music is available DRM-free and legal, without serious fears of being prosecuted for a modern version of the mixtape.
