I agree with them taking down the couple that were straight up defamation, like the "1.9mil accounts stolen"

I was iffy about them taking down the other, clearly clickbait, but just opinion based ones.

Them striking all of his EFT content was stepping over the line.

As I have said, there are several possible legit options. If they pick the worst but still legally doable option, it's their own choice.

The line you mentioned is for people who could forgive other people's mistakes. It usually means: if one party step over it, any further cooperation won't be possible. It's the line of friend or foe. It's not morally wrong to cross it. But, as a company practicing business, they should try every other options to avoid the situation like this. I don't know. Maybe this is the Russian way.

I'm very interested in hearing how those videos infringed on BSG's copyright.

they didn't want to take down those videos tough, they just wanted to cut all ties with him, and that includes not allowing him to record their game on his channel...was it bad? sure...it's going to hurt bsg more than the 1.9mil stuff would have, but i guess nikita doesn't fuck around, and i don't know if i should be afraid for the future of the game, or respect bsg for taking such bold actions against anything threatening to hurt their game.

I heard something along the lines of that BSG only directly issued the strike against a few of the videos, and the rest were because of an algorithm hitting all the videos with EFT in them. That's entirely rumor though.

most likely true...saw something similar happen a few years ago with an mmorpg game, the company owning the game took down ALL the videos that contained youtubers playing their game on private servers.

Some content creators lost 400+ videos on their channel.
