That's how it SHOULD be. Good going guys.

Problem is it not as simple as saying "yes you can use our stuff" because of how Youtube has things set up, but third parties are exploiting that set up as well. Coming in and claiming they have right to content and the money its worth and are just being given it.

MasterCornholio4200d ago

Reminds me of when Joe mentioned that a bunch of companys that he never heard of flagged his videos for copyright infringement. It wasnt the game itself that attracted their attention but the music.

BISHOP-BRASIL4200d ago

Google "AdShare MG for a third party".

They and other parties alike are known to flag content with public domain musics. Theories had been this third parties are trying to monetize on someone else's video or they are simply annoying people into giving personal info as one wants to dispute its claims.

So companies no one heard of had been flagging content on youtube long before the Content ID with no copyrights whatsoever. Now the Content ID is in place, I believe it's simply replicating similar scam claims automatically.

So this is not a new problem with google but one simply badly amplified with Content ID... That's the kinda crap you can expect when you have a computer doing what should be a person's job (veryfing copyright infringment claims) combined with a flawed policy (the burden of proof resting on the one submitting a video instead of in the copyright claimer).

Well if we want to counter the youtube copyright thingamabob, start reporting every single video you watch for copyright infringement so that they have to look at them.

Awesome!!!!! I love Oddworld. I hope we will get Abe's Exodus remade as well.

-Gespenst-2816d ago

Soulstorm is a remake / re-imagining of Exoddus.

AnubisG2816d ago

hummm.... looks like a new game to me but I'm happy either way.

Soulst0rmer2816d ago

Soulstorm is the second true Oddworld game in the Quintology. It is Exoddus in it's heart but so much more. Glad to see Lorne's conference.

Dirty_Lemons2816d ago

I'm certainly curious on just how dark Lorne takes it. Either way, I have faith. Perhaps the Oddworld quintology will be made after all.

Oddworld Abe's Exoddus: In Depth Analysis

An in depth look at Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, the second instalment of the Oddworld games. Looking at the changes it made to expand the gameplay of the original, and the effects its short development cycle had on the game as a whole.

Relientk773424d ago

Such a great game, love this series

Niceman913424d ago

Oddysee and Exoddus are both great games which manage to evoke a sense of darkness mixed with comedy and triumph. However, Abe's first outing is my most fondest memory on PlayStation, in addition to Metal Gear Solid, of course.
