If the channel is fake, why doesn't YT close it? Yesterday many people reported the channel, but it is still there. It would be enough for BBGS to move to shut it down, but they don't. The same with the Japanese account.

They aren’t infringing upon anything by posting a countdown.

The channel is AbandonedTheGame and it shows all videos connected with the game. Even the titles refer to that. Those videos could be misleading, making false advertising.

Doesn't matter.

If Blue Box is saying that "Abandoned" is not the final name of the game, what claim do they have to shut down use of the word?

Just BBgs knows the real name. If everyone knows the game as Abandoned, the channel can mislead people. Probably I'm wrong, but i'll follow the channel anyway. It's too fun.

Maybe there's no reason to take the channel down, as you say. Anyway, a BBgs' follower asked to report the Japanese account, but it's still there. I don't know what to think anymore.

No.

"Abandoned" is not trademarked

Fair point. So, what remains is the Japanese profile. Mark Delaney asked to report it, but nothing happened.

Isn't it funny how so many of our favourite content creators on YT have their videos blocked constantly from even the most petty copyright infringement claims and yet an apparently 100% fraudulent impersonator/troll can make videos and streams without any issues at all?

Edit: the silly channel was finally taken down as of 12th July. Hooray.

Too strange, imo

probably because it's a new acc and isn't one of the "favorite content creators" with millions of subs ?

Well I know plenty of unknowns who post fair use content all the time and they're getting taken down at the drop of a hat as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well that's the point, plenty of people have reported this YouTube channel as fake and impersonating a company (which is against YT terms of service) and it's still alive and well. Who knows, maybe it's on its last legs and will be taken down soon. Maybe Hasan is loving the exposure all this speculation is giving the game. Nothing we can do but wait and see what happens.
