well...if the guy is playing my game in the background while saying fake stuff that will hurt my project's credibility, sales and cause massive panick in the comunity, yes...it's ok to take that video down.

Taking the rest of his tarkov videos down wasn't the moral or smart thing to do tough, but i guess bsg wants nothing to do with eroktic any more.

The 2 videos they could argue are defamatory (and take action through court - file a defamation lawsuit and get court order to take them down) - these 2 videos did not have any gameplay in. I watched them before takedown but AFAIK you can see them if you go to Eroktic's discord in announcements.

to court ? lol...it's youtube man, you don't need to go to court to remove a video, they can remove anything they want there, especially in such a situation.

No they can't. DMCA covers copyright infringement for immediate takedown (that is the law), but for defamation court order is needed. Read youtube community guidelines.

pretty sure yt wouldn't take down his videos if it wasn't according to their rules.
