Hello everyone,
something very strange happened recently. Ever heard of Jove? He’s basically a Russian version of Quickybaby – a Wargaming-friendly videomaker/streamer, who gets promoted and has access to exclusive stuff (testing various not-yet-released tanks and such).
Oddly enough, today, Jove got bitchslapped with a copyright claim from Wargaming for publishing content (making a video), that was leaked earlier on various Russian sites and communities (world-of-ru, Wotleaks, FTA and others) – specifically it was the part about the Individual Missions.
Not quite sure why they did that – I mean, the info was out there anyway and supertest leaks are actually tolerated simply because there’s no real way how to stop them without completely changing the system (which, in the middle of production, would likely not go well). A futile gesture, that will not stop the info from being spread, but will certainly annoy Jove (I know I was actually annoyed when they took down the WoWs leak on my channel, I had to watch this stupid anti-piracy video – how terrible, but serves me right (for failing to recognize WoWs leaks are not taken as lightly as WoT ones)). So, my sympathies, Jove.
So, what exactly does Wargaming not want you to see? You can read it here.
My bet: It caused a lot of butthurt, so they are reconsidering it, and thus don’t like to see it announced as a final version in various streams.
(Hell, if I could, I’d avoid all exact numbers and parameters from supertest, because it brings nothing but rage of masses)
Well, yes, but at the same time any normally thinking person realizes the numbers are completely preliminary.
“normally thinking person”
This is the internet – you must be new here! :D
Yeah, that’s the problem, from what I see even commentators here on FTR (who I’d guess would be “informed”) totally miss that point 90% of the time.
Obj. 907 buff for 9.5 – http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/450670-object-907-re-balance-for-95/
Don’t know how else to send this, sorry.
He was negative about those missions. Pretty much called devs who made IMs – morons and “guys who dont even play WoT”.
well i guess he has a point there.
I know there was a lot of whine, but they could have talked it over in private.
WG did the same for the “Allahu Akbar” ISIS soundpack, so that’s nothing new.
“Ever heard of Jove? He’s basically a Russian version of Quickybaby”
Except the fact that the Jove’s channel has more than 1600000 subscribers
and?
Not everyone in EU even know who the f is Keikibeb.
But everyone knows Jove in RU. Everyone.
You should also have mentioned that Jove is an insolent ill-mannered “mujik”. Although other Youtubers, like Vspishka, have said that in person he is ok chap.
Whatever the case, Konstantin’s ingame/Youtube alter ego “Jove” is NOTHING like QB. And i don’t think that QB gets press or streamer accounts from WG either.
Good job they shut down the EU supertest and put a stop to all these leaks… oh wait :/
They wanted to reduce a number potential so called “leakers”. Now the leaks belong to the beloved small group of friends & partners again. With EU supertesters too much went “public” and they had no “breaking news” to tell anymore ;) It is that simple.
Seems that again someone in WG took too much power in his hands. I guess he will be silently punished soon…
I’ll reserve judgement until it’s confirmed that WG actually had anything to do with it. Wouldn’t be the first time Youtube took something down because they thought it might be copyright infringing.
LOL…?? new here….If YouTube did that 60% of content would go POOF overnight !
So, to you the part “due to a copyright claim by wargaming.net LLP” means exactly what? That Girl Scouts of the USA stepped in and claimed copyright infringement?
I’d say it pissed off Jove even more because if that was his job, too bad. One copyright claim and goodbye monetization.
