You'd think more people would be freaking out than just Sessler if it was a huge deal - but I don't understand the drama or the hesitancy to just say what the problem is.So why is only Sessler upset about this if it is a global policy change from YT or Sony?
My guess is Sony is not allowing smaller media to capture or put videos on video sites...?
I'm basing that speculation on bigger sites like IGN and Gamspot mentioning that they're going to have PS4 reviews soon.
Altho that doesn't explain why not X1 version games are under embargo til near launch, but this might be totally separate thing.

The great bun appears!
My translation:
There is nothing here regrading devkit expenses and etc
that's based in reality
Seriously you're clowned upon for a reason man.
Wait! The PS4 wont allow direct capture? What is the reasoning behind this if it has built in streaming and youtube uploads?
He joined Gaf too
My thoughts exactly. Jeff is a straight shooter so if this isn't a big deal to him than it's being overblown.if the gerstman aint stressed then we can easily rest.
Yes and No. Right now, out of the box, there's HDCP, so no one can do direct capture.
But Sony already announced they'll strip the HDCP out with a patch after launch.

My money is on EA doing something fucked up. They're always the ringleader when it comes to industry fuckery. Got to make that "Worst Company in America" badge worth something lol

I thought people could use a splitter?
well its sounding like it's sony who is being the problem.
Would seem really weird for sony to do this, but even if they did why not just make an actual site? They seem to have enough people subscribed.

This might be off-topic but didn't Nintendo have some issues with YouTube and copyright?

Words to live by.if the gerstman aint stressed then we can easily rest.
And what would the legal issues really be if they're stripping HDCP? I doubt that Sony would threaten legal action for a review site doing something that they're going to patch into their system anyway.It doesn't have component video and the launch firmware has HDCP enabled for everything. They've said they're gonna remove HDCP for games in a future update but they haven't given an ETA so the only way to direct capture till then is by using an HDCP stripper.
I doubt its Nintendo since they likely already have license agreements with all the big video game sites, including rev3gamesThis might be off-topic but didn't Nintendo have some issues with YouTube and copyright?
Getting sick of all these vague tweets from Adam as well as other game press individuals. Be specific or don't say anything at all.
