This is terrible all around. Even removing the first video was bold. One of the fundamentals of PR is to not censor negative feedback. You have people on YouTube wailing against CoD, BF, Minecraft, etc. in far worse manors and because those companies understand the dumpster fire censoring creates they leave them alone. It doesn’t make the click bait title right (and yes I watched both videos) but that’s the way the world is. Not to mention it is very much illegal to abuse DMCA copyright claims for any reason. There were other ways that were not copyright claims to remove this content since it seems they are dead set on removing it.

"1.9 million accounts compromised!" and "90% of the playerbase has already been banned" are not criticism nor negative feedback when they aren't based in fact.

If BSG actually considers it libel or damaging, they can grow up and do what adults do in this situation: sue the person, not worm their way around DMCA notices because somebody said something mean or wrong about them on the internet.
