I don't understand, can video game companies really claim copyright over gameplay videos? Or is this just a Youtube-specific thing?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Don't claim copyright infringement on uploaded video game soundtracks to YouTube (except Square Enix because their Final Fantasy OST still sells big) Because most video game music is crap, really. Of course, there are exceptions, but nothing that would really sell anyway if they were marketing it. Don't send DMCA notices to people who remix their content (make mods) Huh... you haven't heard about Nintendo I guess? Th…
1) Are you really going to make a hot-air blanket statement like "Most video game music is crap"? You do realize that even mid-budget games like Resident Evil 5 & Remember Me (both with really good soundtracks) record using Hollywood sized orchestras. 2) A "CLONE" of a game is different. Especially when you clone an iconic game that Nintendo still sells. It's clearly not as evil an industry as you seem to be consider…
2) Sorry, but a 20+ year old game should be in the public domain, period. Why do we apply copyrights which are longer than what we apply on drugs? Sorry but I consider that especially Evil, in the same way that Mickey Mouse is still not in public domain even though it's been 75 years+ since its first appearance.
>>If you’re dependent on YouTube for making money from video content, that’s disastrous, as even a single strike against your YouTube account can limit the account’s functionality within the site and impact anything from the length of videos you’re able to upload to your ability to monetise those videos with advertising. Always be very careful when your business depends on the free(AFAIK, uploading to youtube is free…
What stands out most about this issue is the open-mindedness of the Video Games Industry. The fact that they've stood up for someone's ability to not only record their gameplay, but on top of that, make money from it just shows how understanding they are (unlike neighboring industries that take down amateur remixes from Soundcloud and YouTube). They're one of the few industries that generally: ● Don't Sue Pirates ● D…

Zelda and Mario series, pretty much every Square game, Halo, Star Wars games (though that's cheating), Minecraft, Castlevania games, Skyrim, Journey, Bastion, and many others.
Video games have about as much chance of having awesome sound tracks as other media such as cinematic films.

Let's see: Zelda and Mario series, pretty much every Square game, Halo, Star Wars games (though that's cheating), Minecraft, Castlevania games, Skyrim, Journey, Bastion, and many others. Video games have about as much chance of having awesome sound tracks as other media such as cinematic films.
Besides, if you are an extremely talented musician, it's not in videogames that you'll get widespread recognition nor the best salaries either. Can you name any of the musicians who worked on the games you mentioned, by memory ? Good try.
So of course, people who are talented tend to move to other industries.

You do realize that the games you quoted represent 0.0001% of all games being marketed ? (regardless of popularity). I could just say you are being biased.

And do you seriously expect me to list a significant fraction of all games to satisfy your needs? That's ridiculous.
Here's my claim: a significant fraction of the most popular games have excellent sound tracks. I provided evidence to back up my claims, you have provided none to back up yours.

Do movies have awful music in general, just because there are lots of shitty movies and movies with a music budget of at least $1000 represent .0001% of all movies?
