Looking at the problem from both sides.... I can understand both that I don't know what is the best here.
- For the company side:
while this will deliver information to many fans of the game.. many will choose to only watch PewDiePie vids and never buy the game... also, if the company let some people post their videos now. It won't have the legal power to stop the real-harmful videos in the future... because those who post them will say "look, why you let them and won't let us?". I'm not sure how the legal things work but that's what I heard.
I hope there's a way to compromise posting the videos on the internet... I think there IS one, where the company puts ads on the youtuber videos and get money out of them..... But maybe the company decided it's still a loss for them? I don't know~
Further research revealed their action is based on a racial slur PewDiePie used in one of the streams, not just the fact he is streaming their game.
That just muddies the waters more though. Dude is building a reputation for being edgy and such. Will they take similar action against other streamers that say just as bad PR worse in their vids?
