For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet:
So. Thoughts?
Personally, I am absolutely disgusted by this, and I hope that word gets out in a big way. The behavior of the developer here is inexcusable, and they deserve to have everyone know exactly what they're about.
Beyond the dev though, the larger problem is definitely the nature of the YouTube copyright complaint system. The fact that it's so easy to abuse in order to censor unfavorable content is terrible, and something really needs to be done, not only to protect the right to free speech, but also to protect the integrity of reviews. If reviewers are forced to live in fear of having their channel taken down because a dev doesn't look kindly on what they say about a game, where does that leave us?
