A week ago I made a similar thread: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/250549-now-ive-seen-everything-publishers-issuing-copyright-strikes-against-animated-gifs/ but publishers keep doing dumb stuff.

 

A multi billion dollar franchise like COD "can't afford" dedicated servers but they apparently they can afford to hunt down youtube videos that show Advanced Warfare bugs:

Activision is evil, ideally anyone playing their games should see an exorcist until they repent  but I'll settle for having publishers exposed when they do stuff like this.

 

 

This is LTT. One cannot force "style over substance" values & agenda on people that actually aren't afraid to pop the lid off their electronic devices, which happens to be the most common denominator of this community. Rather than take shots at this community in every post, why not seek out like-minded individuals elsewhere?

Repost. Even the thread I was going to link was a repost and has been deleted.

I guess these publishers believe that getting heavy criticism is better than fixing up their game in the first place.

Yep they would rather sensor videos about the bugs than fix them...

Shouldn't companies have already learned by now, trying to cover up people showing negative criticism or things that are wrong with the company's product through threats and censorship does not work, in fact, it does the opposite. It will get the companies into more bad press. For example, remember the hotels that fining people for leaving negative reviews, their yelp page got destroyed and got them more bad press.
