“It’s a pretty big deal,” Kjellberg said. “If I get more than three of them, my channel will shut down.”

According to Google’s policy, if Kjellberg were to receive three copyright strikes, his account will be terminated. All videos uploaded to his account will be removed and he won’t be able to create new accounts. Essentially, every video he has ever uploaded to YouTube will be erased.

Uh guy? This is a company pulling a youtube video because they didn’t like what it said. Yes, the dude is a colossal arse, but do you like let’s play videos? Review videos? Let-Bash-the-Shitty-Game videos? Because this has just shown asshole developers they can get away with pulling content if they don’t like what’s being done with it.

What youtube should have done is take the video down themselves for violating terms of use. Instead, they’ve set a dangerous precedent.
