#2Content tagging like this will make games like GTAV not watchable in VOD or Highlight format. These changes plus the removal of the 'save forever' option for past broadcasts seem to indicate a new opening in the market.
It will be very interesting to see how these changes play out in the twitch community.

Or games like Ocarina of Time, or possibly even Final Fantasy series, which are popular for speedrunning.

#4This seems like a terrible move. Aren't _all_ video game soundtracks under copyright (not just ones that use popular/radio music)?
If that's the case, isn't the logical conclusion of this no audio on twitch at all?
I don't quite understand what Google is doing here. This sort of policing is one thing on a general video site like YouTube, but why would you buy a site who's entire raison d'etre is streaming copyrighted material and then start policing it in this manner?
Why buy it at all if you just intend to ruin it?

#5This is a very serious hit to the appeal of Twitch.tv IMO. And it really feels like they were strongarmed into this, given the site was designed from day 1 for this kind of use.

The site is a lot less useful now.
