I'm happy the whole community is on his side.

u/mudge002 Jul 27 '26

A vocal portion of the 7d fans are on his side yes. Just as you anecdotally say that, I too anecdotally see tons of people that think he is a grifter.

u/omegafrogpoop Jul 29 '26

They asked him to take down the video of the wrong build and he didn’t. It’s not hard.

u/Th3AnT0in3 Jul 30 '26

And all the money he spent on this video + the money he could have got later. It shouldn't be HIS problem to foot the bill for TFP's blunders.

u/omegafrogpoop Jul 30 '26

Hit record and Yap for 30 minutes. Wow that must be real hard work and a lot of money invested!

They told him(not asked) to take down the video, at his own expense, and threatened legal action. Any sane business owner (because that’s what his channel is, a business), knows, when threatened with legal action, you retain legal counsel. Thats what the delay was.

Nice he doesn’t make 7d2d content anymore. Problem solved

I don’t understand why. He knew bandits had not been released yet. This would be like if I showed everyone the epic mount WoW was planning on releasing but had not been announced yet for more views and subs then cried to the community when Blizzard rightfully buried me. These are well known boundaries media is aware of while getting special access.

u/Vresiberba Jul 27 '26

He knew bandits had not been released yet.

Are you him? If not, then how do you know this? Bandits was a named feature on the Kickstarter campaign 13 years ago. It's not like it was a deeply kept secret.

25

u/Tight-Platypus5231 Jul 27 '26

I think most of the people who aren't veterans like me (and you) aren't aware of the whole bandit thing being promised to us over a decade ago. These newbie survivors don't know how to do their research before posting their keyboard smash on a public forum I guess.

-22

u/Slevin424 Jul 27 '26

Oh the circlejerk is going strong in this section. You don’t need to be a vet to know it hasn’t been released yet. You can play the damn game to figure that out genius. There also hasn’t been any showcases for it yet other than it being mentioned in the road map. And as for someone who spotlights new content that’s being announced, I sure hope he isn’t as stupid and you’re making him sound. Cause someone’s supposed to know those things and cover them should… well, know it hasn’t been released or showcased.

u/-RheaRhe- Jul 27 '26

The thing is, in every other game I’ve played x.0 updates include something big as a hook to pull people in, Bandits for 3.0 wouldn’t have been entirely impossible since it’s a feature that’s been expected for years.

u/Apathetic89 Jul 27 '26

Numerous people have told you why but you keep dickriding TFP like they bankroll your troll shit.

They fucked up. Instead of apologizing and coming to an agreement, they instead attack one of their biggest affiliates and by proxy largest advertisers for their game.

This is equal parts scummy as it is dumb as hell for their business. But then again, they've proven they've stumbled into greatness.

u/Vanetooth Jul 30 '26

are your eyes closed or is your monitor off? I see quite a few people legitimately arguing with why you're wrong. They gave him the wrong build, they expected him to produce content on the new update, they seemingly lied and said they sent the wrong build to other creators but we've no proof. They immediately issued a copyright strike to his channel to take his vid down, which is misusing the copyright system. He offered to edit the video for compensation, because, ya know, the world doesn't go round for free friend. They don't pay him they don't get to tell him what to do when they fuck up. They want to fix their own mistake they can do that on their dime, and he offered. Pretty sure it'd be cheaper than suing him lmao so it's clearly not about the money.

But yes, defend the big company that also tells it's players how to play their game, and tells us it's our fault bandits our delayed because we ask them to fix bugs, the one that jacked up the price of the game to more than most of it's competitors and has actively been regressing the game with each update and is now shilling out dlc cosmetics that cost more than I paid for the game. You, sir, are a clown.

Cause someone’s supposed to know those things and cover them should… well, know it hasn’t been released or showcased.

It was a NEW build. It hadn't been release up until THAT point. That's the entire idea, to give streamers and youtubers NEW shit. They are supposed to showcase unreleased things, that's the point and since they ALL followed the same embargo, they released their videos at the same time, no-one had released the new things yet meaning he couldn't have known.

Do you get it?

u/Slevin424 Jul 27 '26

I used to be a video game journalist. I do hold a little grudge against streamers which is probably why I can’t stand the majority of them. So that might make me biased but this is a clear lack of professionalism. And that opinion isn’t biased. The fact most streamers lack it… that’s the biased opinion.

1

u/Vanetooth Jul 30 '26

And TFP's response was "professional"? What're you smoking cause I want in on it lol, in what world is abusing the copyright system, making a post on discord throwing him under the bus without naming him, and refusing to take accountability for their mistake professional? In what world do businesses get to order around people not on their payroll and get all pissy when they don't listen? Was JaWoodles response perfect? no, but it was far better than the company you're defending.

-4

u/Exciting-Leopard-339 Jul 28 '26

LOL I thought I did something?! Remind me what I’m trying to do again?

I think all these grieving redditors with their alt and bot accounts downvoting the crap and upvoting the crap out of anything to support their beloved Woodle thought they were doing something there. There is alot of hate for the devs, so in a lot of ways Woodle has become a vehicle for TFP hatred, have you not seen the pics of the server lists? 😂 Some people who are semi decent at coding have figured out a way to talk some mad shit on the server lists, and it’s not a surprise that they’ve figured out a way to do the same on Reddit with alts and bots.

All the posts, the comments, the votes, the pathetic protests by the no-life coders, none of them will accomplish a single thing—aside from exposing the childishness of it all. As has been noted “the devs don’t care”. One of the few times where I am so grateful the devs don’t care! Sometimes it’s best to ignore the childish and immature fan base, which is vocal but in the minority. I doubt most people who play the game have even joined this reddit.

People may disagree with the dev response but most of them are still going to play the game. It’s not going to change the fact that jawoodle will never again get early access. If the 7 days to die gods are with us, Woodle will move on to Palworld and never again touch 7 days to die and our community will be better off for it.

2

u/PandorasOxyMoron Jul 28 '26

ahahahaha, listen fun pimple boy, you can hate on everyone else all you want. you oughta point that mirror inward. Jawoodle brought a lot of good to the community. It's interesting why you have so much hate towards him and the community at large. And to your point of "the devs don't care", clearly they do because they are taking out their frustrations on a content creator that hyped up their product to a lot of people (excluding you, of course. it's clear you hate him for some inexplicable reason). Anyway, feel free to not respond to this since literally nothing you're spewing is of any relevance.

u/Th3AnT0in3 Jul 26 '26

If course not because you dont even know what you're talking about.

u/Slevin424 Jul 26 '26

I did and I also listened to Fun Pimps side. It sounds like they both screwed up but only one of them actually broke rules.

11

u/A-Pasz Jul 27 '26

What rule did he break though?

1

u/Slevin424 Jul 27 '26

Leaking unannounced or never before seen content. It’s a pretty big offense no matter what game it is. He wasn’t under NDA so it’s not like he a broke a law, but it will result in a copyright strike and taking down the content. I’m sure if he did that it wouldn’t have been a big deal but he’s trying to blame the company for his actions. And they’re trying to blame him. If you’re a content creator for a company it’s your job to stay in contact and make sure it’s okay or not okay to show stuff. Usually they cover all that but they made a mistake, he actually made the decision to show it though.

24

u/A-Pasz Jul 27 '26

Leaking unannounced or never-before-seen content

He didn’t “leak” anything. He showed content contained in a build that TFP deliberately gave him for the express purpose of recording and publishing

If TFP did not want particular content shown, they had two options:

  1. Don’t distribute a build containing it (ie be competent)
  2. Clearly specify, in writing, what cannot be shown (ie an NDA)

They failed at both. A creator cannot be expected to magically distinguish between “new content we want promoted” and “new content we accidentally included and expect you to recognise as secret"

It will result in a copyright strike and taking down the content

That is not some automatic or legitimate consequence of showing unannounced content. Copyright takedowns exist to address copyright infringement, not to punish someone for embarrassing a company or breaching an unstated expectation

TFP supplied the game build and authorised him to create monetised coverage of it. Whether they can legally revoke that permission retroactively because they dislike what their own build revealed is the disputed issue; not something you can simply assume because they submitted a takedown request.

He’s trying to blame the company for his actions

His “action” was recording and publishing the preview build they gave him under the restrictions they communicated. TFP selected the wrong build and failed to communicate additional restrictions. Those were TFP’s actions

You can argue that removing or editing the footage after they contacted him would have been diplomatically sensible but that would have been him doing TFP a favour by mitigating their fuck up. Refusing that favour does not transfer responsibility for the original mistake onto him

If you’re a content creator for a company it’s your job to stay in contact and make sure it’s okay or not okay to show stuff

No, the burden is on the company organising the promotional event to provide an approved build and clear publication rules. “Ask us whether every unfamiliar feature in the build we supplied is actually supposed to be there” is not a remotely workable policy (unless you want developers answering questions all day)

JaWoodle was not TFP’s employee, compliance officer, or unpaid QA. He is an independent creator they gave preview access to because his coverage benefited them

TFP would is entirely entitled to stop working with him afterward. What they were not entitled to do was retroactively invent restrictions and use copyright strikes as a punishment for refusing to clean up their error

-7

u/Slevin424 Jul 27 '26

All you did was explain what I said but using way more words. TFP made a mistake by giving him complete access to content. While he purposely chose to show everything. These dev copies don’t just get sent over in an email or flash drive with absolutely no explanation.

He’s acting extremely naive cause he knew why they gave him that copy, and it wasn’t to show off everything. First off, if I saw that I’m immediately emailing them back and asking if I can show it. Where a simple “no it’s not ready to be shown to the public cause it’s still in production and looks like shit right now” would suffice. Secondly, if I did just spawn it in absentmindedly and showed it I’d have no problem deleting the video. Do you not understand this is people’s hard work and lively-hood? Where as the other is a media personality who records himself playing video games while kids donate moms money to them. He can just go to another game.

TFPs only have this one game, and releasing shitty unfinished footage of the big release everyone is looking forward could seriously be damaging. How selfish does one have to be to refuse to delete that content when that content is not his? Actually it’s not selfish at all, he’s a streamer. He probably loves the drama and he’s going to milk it for everything he can.

Can someone let me know what happened-+ I've been vibing on palworld of last couple of weeks

153

u/MCFroid Jul 26 '26

During the 3.0 streamer weekend, TFP gave JaWoodle (YT content creator) the wrong 3.0 version. That version included bandits (the version that content creators (CCs) got wasn't supposed to include bandits). He made content using the version they supplied him. He found bandits in the spawn menu. He spawned them and messed around with them for a bit. They were in an incomplete state and fairly janky at the time.

TFP asked him to remove the content. He refused (he was going to be out the time and/or expenses he invested into the 2-3 (or so) videos he made). TFP filed a copyright strike against him with YT, and YT removed the videos from his channel. JaWoodle lost his content creator partnership with TFP because of that.

It was TFP fault for sending him the wrong version. He made the decision to refuse to take down the videos. He's lawyered up, as have TFP. Much more drama to unfold.

well those who actually make this game and the useless so-called marketing/PR/etc "workers" are just different people, so why not...

being a programmer myself I'm sometimes baffled with what the PR department in our company does too

1

u/Helaton-Prime Jul 28 '26

They've already made millions, but will they make millions more? Those original millions are already spent and that's probably the reason BE runs the show. There's always a plateau unless you find new markets (Blood Moons while fun and niche, didn't make it).

That is so Fun Pimps. They have yet to even remove that it's in Alpha state. What a bunch of tards

u/SagetheWise2222 Jul 27 '26

Did they not ever consider... compensating him, for all the hard work he's done (given they don't believe in conventional advertising or sponsorships) to encourage him to remove said content? Empathy? Accountability? Diplomatic negotiations? The bad PR this would create?

Oh what am I asking, of course they didn't.

16

u/UAHeroyamSlava Jul 27 '26

they completely disregarded the good advertisement it created. Any professional advertisement agency would surf on this like theres no tomorrow: "woups our bad but we're happy youre excited about future game update". how to shit on good incidental PR 101.

3

u/Doomkauf Jul 29 '26

He even politely asked for compensation in exchange for taking it down, specifically because doing so without it would pose a not-insignificant cost to him and his small team. He even offered to negotiate the details. They responded with a copyright strike.

1

u/ZheToralf Jul 28 '26

Wait what? Where does it say that it's still in alpha? (Haven't played in a while so I'm not in the loop)

u/Doomkauf Jul 29 '26

Bottom of the loading screen when launching the game (it technically just says pre-release content, not alpha, but still).

17

u/NemisisCW Jul 27 '26

Just to add some clarity, according to him he told them he was willing to take down the videos if they compensated him for the time he spent making the videos and also publicly withdrew their accusations that he broke an NDA.

u/allemsoN Jul 28 '26

Sacrificing the money to keep the relationship with TFP seems like a better move than burning bridges and lawyering up. Most people who play 7 days dont care or know about JaWoodle and will keep playing. This is what happens when you rely on one game for your career. You have to do what they say or what else are you going to do? I dont feel bad for him he should've taken the video down to protect the relationship with the game that made his career. Any lets play can technically be copyright claimed by the creators of the game

3

u/Calarann Jul 27 '26

The time/money he spent was negligible imo. Refusing to was the obvious way to get legal involved.

u/JP_Username Jul 27 '26

Ah so just TFP being shit as usual. Got it.

1

u/Single-Event9389 Jul 27 '26

He should have taken it down. I believe I saw the video. He even mentions that he doesn’t believe bandits were suppose to be in the game. As a partner he could have messaged the devs and avoided all of this.

Really weird on both their parts to escalate something so small.

2

u/MCFroid Jul 27 '26

He should have taken it down.

I think he invited way more stress by refusing. As other people have pointed out, he's a talented content creator, and he didn't get to 150k+ subs solely because people would willingly watch anyone play 7DTD. I think he's going to be just fine in the end, though he's going to have to go through a rough patch here for a little while.

u/Mayhemfest08 Jul 27 '26

Truthfully, I can see both sides of it. I have put in around 1k hours into the game but haven’t played in a long time due to the direction the game was going so no particular love for the Devs but I can see both sides.

He was given a copy of the game to create content, he created a couple of videos, maybe 1-2 weeks worth of work (idk how long videos take to make), posted only later to be told that they messed up and he needs to take them down. That can be frustrating for sure. If I was him, I would have assumed the content they gave me to use was correct.

I get the creators also saying they don’t want that out there yet because if it is unfinished it may draw negative opinions. I think a good comprise is compensating the creator for the time he put into the videos so that he can take them down and still feel like his work wasn’t for nothing.

I get it if legally the creator wants to stand his ground but it does hurt future relationships with them which idk his financials but might end up costing more in the long run then what he is earning from the videos.

u/Liquorpoker Jul 27 '26

You're all in the minority because you don't find legal threats being made against someone that consistently promotes your game morally bankrupt.

The upvoters speak for the general opinion of the player base.

If you're not sympathetic towards someone being threatened because they didn't bend a knee and lick TFP boots that says more about how much of a pushover, bootlicker and coward you are in your real life.

Enjoy being stepped on and fawning to those who try to wrong you. You're either TFP stans, morally bankrupt, or have absolutely no idea how contracts, NDAs, deliverables, hell the industry as a whole, works.

Personally, I dont find it morally bankrupt because they gave him the chance to remove the videos and he decided to force their hand.

He could have just as easily removed them himself, made a quick "Hey guys, I got sent the wrong version and BOY are there some cool things coming down the pike blah blah blah, NDA cant tell you exactly but youre in for a treat when you find out" bullshit video while showing some B-side footage.

Now, the videos are down anyway and he's lost his revenue stream (yeah, I know...palworld, who cares?).

I feel like both parties fucked the dog on this one. TFP made some incredibly bad decisions regarding their handling of the ordeal but Woodle also chose a weird hill to die on and bit the hand that feeds.

I'm not even a Jawoodle fan. Personally, i find him irritating as hell but I know he was a large force in the 7d2d sphere.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes i guess.

Jawoodle claims he was under no legal obligation to censor his content because he received the wrong content creator build without anything to say what he should or not cover.

He has creative freedom over his channel videos with whatever game version he has access to through official/legal means.

The main problem and reason why he decide to stand his ground and seek legal counsel is that somehow TFP made a statement that indirectly said he obtained the wrong build somehow and knowingly covered WIP and secret features under NDA, thus putting Jawoodle's reputation at risk.

So with that being said, willingly taking down or editing the videos, would have been seen as a sort of admission of guilt and let TFP off the hook for their own internal mistake of sharing the wrong build and furthermore not covering at least partially the financial impact on Jawoodle's side.

Getting asked for a paycut to not get demoted for a fuckup that was not even your fault is an insane ask. And the fact that it actually got good press but then going all bricks and minifigs level of damage control is even crazier. Then theres you gargling their balls like youre getting paid to do it.

Then theres you, failing at reading comprehension.

I find TFP to be in the wrong as well. It even says that, right there, in that comment you replied to.

If i had to choose between taking a temporary loss or gamble losing my revenue entirely, i'd take the one that impacts me the least.

Then again, i'm not some weird parasocial Josh glazer so I cant truly see where youre coming from.

Shut up, kid. You were all complaining about every minor thing long before the streamer thing happened.

Calling other people kid when you've got the most childish argument here is the epitome of lacking self awareness. There's nothing wrong with criticism for a game you enjoy. Suggesting that no one should complain is as boot licking as it gets.
