YouTube policy undermines the "Let's Play" community

Who do you watch? It seems that if the creator is part of an official network the content should be safe?

One of the issues this creates is that if you're a smaller channel and don't get approval from the publisher to monetise your videos, or don't get accepted into a bigger network and become a managed channel, you are going to have to spend money out of your pocket and run at a loss for years without getting any credit or money for your work.

So anyone starting a LetsPlay channel today is doomed from day one, unless they have the insane luck to become massively popular.

He's got a blanket ban on Sega games as well because of a similar issue - reviews of Sega games that received poor scores were flagged by the company for copyright theft earlier this year, but it got sorted out very quickly. Jim Sterling's doing the same thing for Konami.
 
Youtube is going to suffer from this especially gaming news tubes. It could take days before a video has been reviewed.
