This was years ago, but IIRC some youtuber used the N word while playing one of the studio's games. The developers found out and sent the youtuber a dmca takedown notice for all their games, because f*ck racism and racist sh*tbags

Edit: source from 2017

I agree with the premise of why the devs did it, but DMCA abuse is still DMCA abuse, and the letter of the law matters. They should have 100% found a different mechanism to make them pull the videos down.

I would've imagined a game developer doesn't have any say over what someone says on their streams. Weird if they have that power

Yeah but it was kinda shitty from the devs, because they explicitly (on their webpage) gave everyone permission to post gameplay videos, and then dropped the DMCA on pewdiepie because he said the n word in a different video.

Not defending pewdiepie, but the devs shouldn't have proceeded that way. At least they should've asked him to take the playthrough down instead.

Edit: people downvoting didn't read this because they're upvoting the shorter comment saying the same thing lol.
