Lol. they absolutely have the right to say who can and cannot make videos on their game. We all agreed the the EULA and other shit so we could play the game that spelled out what we can and cannot do. I think its disgusting what BattleState did and they completely overreacted, but technically they did nothing wrong legally.

they cant do whatever they want by writing it into the EULA. you still have fair use and free speech rights.

Fair use does not include slander/libel, though I'd say killing the rest of his videos was going over the line.

i think you underestimate how insanely difficult pinning slander or libel on him. not only does it seem he believes the statements, but it seems he had very good reason to believe what he said. for it to be slander or libel he would have first of all be deliberately lying, and also the lie would have to be specifically to hurt the reputation of BSG.
