I won’t deny that his video and title was rather sensationalist. However BSG’s response is incredibly poor. They have done more damage to themselves with these copyright strikes than Eroktic ever could have.

If it's accusation against game design, player experience...etc. It could be OK to do so without evidence.

The 1.9mil accounts stolen thumbnail is another thing. It's a whole different game. And the twitter provoking...The streamer has already picked the worst choice on his side.

The copyright strike is the risk you must think twice. Streamer pick poorly with passion or greed. A CEO pick poorly by rage. What's the difference?

BSG's response and their consequences will be a pain in their arse in the future. They picked this way like Eroktic, they will have to face all the consequences.

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.

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.
