Yeah there's a lot of grey area that I hope youtubers and companies like Gameloft can hopefully workout through mutual discussions. Something that didn't seem to happen this time around.

Again, don't know the legalities, but IMO I see the relationship between RevGhost and Gameloft as a partnership based off of who benefits, both parties. You can argue one benefits more than the other, but one thing that you can't argue is that the relevannce and importance of YouTubers posting gaming content is only increasing. This isn't the last time this will happen. Other YouTubers, both connected to A8 and not, have and will continue to post content that helps the A8 player. Some of that content could directly negatively effect sales for GL. Is that unfair to GL, I can see why someone would say "yes". But without a platform like YouTube A8 would be VASTLY less popular right now. Yes RevGhost makes money when he post information that no one else has discovered, and is first to share his opinion that probably had a negative effect on Sales for GL. But what about the effect RevGhost videos have on keeping the A8 community engaged and interested? How many people feel stuck in the game and almost quit A8 but then watched his video and now feel unstuck with the game. Or a A8 player watches a video and understands the best way to tackle a Championship so they can more easily juggle it with their busy work schedule. And down the road in those examples, because they're still playing that's more potential money for GL.

End the end I don't sympathize with GL at all. The may legally be right, but I'm more concerned with the health and vibrancy of this A8 community. Looking up videos to help players is a driving part of the gaming experience, and as games exist so will that need for that content. There's also the point when discussing what is "fair", GL's business practices and overall player trolling is anything but fair. "They started it!" Lol! Not an effective agreement I know but, I refer to my original point, both parties need to sit down as grown ups and figure it out together. Namaste.
