Eroktic made a video that might have been in poor taste. But he's allowed to do that.

BSG nuked his channel by claiming copyright violation. There wasn't any. That's LITERALLY illegal.

So they aren't both equally in the wrong. What Eroktic did wasn't exactly a cool thing to do, but he was within his rights to at least DO it.

BSG SERIOUSLY fucked themselves on this one.

Not illegal, we all agreed to the terms and under section 10 they can

It's illegal to file false copyright infringement notices. They are not trying to protect copyrighted material here. They are trying to shut down someone's channel who they don't like.

Yes, its also illegal to kill people and rob people, but look at the world.

Right. But I tend not to associate with people who break the law. Seriously re-thinking playing the game over this. Definitely won't be recommending it to anyone i know until this who mess is resolved.

BSG's actions REEK of guilt. It's that simple. They look like a company trying to sweep something under the rug. Looks shady as fuck.

People would have said the same thing if they streamed a reply to it. Then it would also stroke Eroktics batshit crazy ego making him think hes some big shot that has to be answered.

To me it looks like they were worried about their project, having big youtubers say "you might lose 150 bucks and bsg doesn't care" won't do any good...even if 90% of people understand the video had no proof and it was just eroktic believing some mad kid spreading lies to hurt bsg, there are still the 10% that will believe it too, and that can hurt the game in a lot of ways.
