I love this game, and respect the dev team, but Square Enix crossed a horrible line.

If they do it without permission it is piracy, not legal work. Ask a copyright lawyer.

Really? Without premission? So the gamecode they get sent by gamedevelopers is not a premission to showcase their game?

For those who say all videomaking on youtube is a hobby, ever seen the angryjoe reviews? The amount of effort he puts into his reviews, its insane. And all the props he buys. Yeah, thats not a real reviewer job at all...

It's not. The gamecode you or anyone else gets is only a license to play the game NOT to showcase the game. In fact, if they didn't have that license that allowed us to showcase the game it would be illegal to stream or upload video. What these youtubers need to do is what professionals do and contact the company to get an expanded license to be able to do more than the average Joe can do with the product.

You know, TB, angryjoe and Jesse (to some degree) is sent most codes spesifically to do review/first impression/gameplay videos... They are respected critiques and doing video reviews are their job, it does not matter if they are on youtube or in some game magazine, its still their job.

Well then, they should be entirely unaffected by this. If SE send them specific codes for reviews they would also send them modified EULAs to allow them to do this, wouldn't they?
