I Woudn't feel to bad, EVERYONE DIES, Removed from existence FOREVER, Hes life had no meaning just like yours doesn't. Its completely normal and that's why we do nothing about fixing it. So relax, have fun, because one day, you will lose EVERYTHING FOREVER. But Don't worry, If your lucky your life wont be Constant suffering before you are deleted. Most aren't that lucky tho.

On the positive side, this whole incident has raised awareness about the type of bullshit some companies are using to stifle criticism of their works and has brought the attention of a lot of people to this awesome channel. Liked and subscribed :)
I made a video on my gaming channel called 'The Elsa Scrolls V: Let it Go. I used the audio from the English version of the Let it Go music video. About half an hour after my video that took me a total of 6 hours to make, (not including upload and publishing time) I receive an Email telling me that I have a Hebrew company has claimed THAT I USED THE AUDIO FROM THE HEBREW VERSION OF LET IT GO IN MY VIDEO, AND THAT THEY CAN NOW PUT ADS ON IT.
Luck Yeti you want to thank President Clinton for that. It was his administration that adopted DMCA in 1998. DMCA was the basis Viacom used to sue TH-cam into adopting ContentID that coused the upheval recently. This Takedown Notice is directly from DMCA (the DMCA Takedown Notification). - IP legislature is horrible
I made a video about two months ago, got 8,000 veiws, apparently because people didnt like the video, they flagged it. It was taken down because of spam, which the video did not contain spam at all, it was also taken down because of A misleading title, which was not misleading at all. My youtube video had no reason to be deleted and I believe the TH-cam system is flawed. Because I am A small channel. (Only 24 subscribers) there really isnt anything I can do about it. :I
I miss TB so much. There is a black hole in the gaming community that no one can fill. It's been a couple years now and I still can't bring myself to unsubscribe.😔

For some reason this was in recommended. Don't know why, don't care. I still remember this very video, when TB published it. Miss you ever so much. Love you, you legend.
why does this exist anyway, the way i see it its like, a video game company make a virtual 3d world that you buy and explore, you make a video out of it and get a copyright notice and that your video is removed. What about real world, if i take a video in central park, will the mayor of NYC flag my video ? Will the engeniers flag my video if i take a video in the metro ?? thats ridiculously absurd.
5 years later and this video...still resonates with me as wanting to be a content creator. Especially given currently with whats going on between Activision Blizzard. But it's also good to see small things moving forward with this issue, with Nintendo aiming to finally remove that awful censor of monetization of their ip's. Totalbiscuit I truly miss your content...and thank you for still inspiring me to want to make content like yours one day. I share this vid literally every time I see it.

Wild Game studios shut down and re-opened under the name Coconut Games after that incident. Most of the team scattered after Garry's incident failure. Stephane Woods' Linkedin profile never mentions Wild Game Studios as if it never existed. Instead it states that he was the CEO of Coconut Games for 10 years, 10 years during which he owned both Wild Games and Coconut Games. Coconut games shut down after a few years making lowend mobile games. Stephane Woods started a new studio called Dark Panda last year after staying under the radar for a few years. He's just doing the same thing over and over again. Props to TB for calling out that guy.
This incident of garys incident has not only made me avoid their game by over 500% from a maximum of 100%, but also introduced me to TotalBiscuit. In a way Wild Games Studios have actually promoted TotalBiscuit and demoted themselves for acting like children and abusing the system. This could all be solves if they did one simple and easy thing: Make a better game. And I know hard it is to fix a broken game (having made a few games myself) but part of the fun in game developing is fixing the game from bugs; its what beta testers are for and honestly they made something worse when they could have fix the game themselves.
Awesome! Congrats on winning this case and exposing the dishonest developer and the awful game for what they truly are. You provide an invaluable service to gamers and I hope you are left free to continue to do so in the future.
Surely though (and I know this is many months afterwards and he has since removed the copyright order) that the criticism of a game would help them as game developers? Take that criticism to better yourself. It's one thing to say "You're completely useless and may as well never do this again because you just suck at making anything worthwhile" and another thing entirely to say "Lack of options in the menu screen, bad coding, poor rendering etc." The latter is criticism, but not outright hostility. I have wanted to be an author since I was young and always took criticism to heart, now I use it to my benefit. Honestly, can a "professional" games developer not see that all these criticisms should be used constructively and then use them to better himself and his team. Everyone starts out with a piece of trash. It takes a better person to accept critics opinions and use them to make that piece of trash into a work of art.
Original "Garrys incident" video - 476k views The video made by TB after the producers get TBs video taken down - 3.1m views There's a lesson in all this for all you producers out there.
I’m just now watching this video and it hurts seeing a video from 8 years ago still being so relevant. Look at The Act Man, who wasn’t even brought down from a company but from a different TH-camr.
Vimeo is a good platform, but you can't really monetize it. The only options I know of are tips and pay to watch. So for someone who wants to make a living from creating videos that isn't an option.
yoni0505 Dailymotion. Not only are they a better video site, but they don't make you sign up for a shitty wannabe facebook, they have less rules about mature content and they have more ways to monetize videos. You can even monetize by just embedding videos you like on your own site. Like I said, there are other options available. The sheeple just refuse to look.
TH-cam recommended this vid, I have to come here to pay respects. Miss you TB, the gaming community really isn't the same without your scathing yet honest opinions.
I just hope Google has noticed this video/will notice this video and listen to it. I hope that by commenting on it, I somehow make it slightly more noticeable and powerful.
I think they probably have seen it, just like they have seen all the hate against the comment system and the hate about the new layout about a year ago. Trouble is, however, they don't want to listen to it and would rather do their own thing. I guess they have a "Don't like it? Don't use it" attitude about these things :/
When you get right down to it, what TotalBiscuit is really talking about are corporations both large and small abusing TH-cam's copyright takedown system to censor content providers and ban their channels. He's standing up for the people who don't have the resources to fight back. That is commendable, and speaks highly of his character. I give both my like and a subscribe in support.
Couldn't agree more. It makes absolutely no sense for a company to censor and discourage what is essentially free advertising for their products. Its ridiculous, backward and frankly just wrong.
This video came up on my recommendation list and I broke out into tears. Miss you so much TB, it was hard sitting and watching this again after all these years. I can only imagen how you would be handleing the nonsense in todays gaming.
Pirating and copyright infringement are two very different things, that people disagree with for an entirely different set of reasons. I'm not passing judgement on anybody, I just wanted to make that clear. Pirating is not copyright infringement, selling pirated copies of games is.
pondwhale I know. Pirating as when you torrent something is considered as sharing. You own something and you want to share it for those who can't afford it. While copyright infringement is GETTING A PROFIT of something patented/copyrighted. Right? CMIIW

I blame youtube over all of this... They been doing the users experience worse and worse. TH-cam need some competitor because right now they own internet videos and do whatever the hell they want.
To everyone saying that this is TH-cam's new copyright system, and I know there are a few of you: _Look at the bloody date._ This is still morally fucked but it isn't TH-cam's fault in this ONE occasion but the publishers trying to screw people out of their money.

Most of the team scattered after Garry's incident failure.
Stephane Woods' Linkedin profile never mentions Wild Game Studios as if it never existed.
Instead it states that he was the CEO of Coconut Games for 10 years,
10 years during which he owned both Wild Games and Coconut Games.
Coconut games shut down after a few years making lowend mobile games.
Stephane Woods started a new studio called Dark Panda last year after staying under the radar for a few years.
He's just doing the same thing over and over again.
Props to TB for calling out that guy.
This incident of garys incident has not only made me avoid their game by over 500% from a maximum of 100%, but also introduced me to TotalBiscuit.
In a way Wild Games Studios have actually promoted TotalBiscuit and demoted themselves for acting like children and abusing the system.
This could all be solves if they did one simple and easy thing: Make a better game. And I know hard it is to fix a broken game (having made a few games myself) but part of the fun in game developing is fixing the game from bugs; its what beta testers are for and honestly they made something worse when they could have fix the game themselves.
This must be seen by everybody.
Awesome! Congrats on winning this case and exposing the dishonest developer and the awful game for what they truly are. You provide an invaluable service to gamers and I hope you are left free to continue to do so in the future.
Miss you brother. Looks like TH-cam wanted to remind me I need to watch this video again. Hope you are at peace.
Im brand new to this channel and the first thing I hear is about his tragic passing. I can't believe it...
Surely though (and I know this is many months afterwards and he has since removed the copyright order) that the criticism of a game would help them as game developers? Take that criticism to better yourself. It's one thing to say "You're completely useless and may as well never do this again because you just suck at making anything worthwhile" and another thing entirely to say "Lack of options in the menu screen, bad coding, poor rendering etc." The latter is criticism, but not outright hostility. I have wanted to be an author since I was young and always took criticism to heart, now I use it to my benefit. Honestly, can a "professional" games developer not see that all these criticisms should be used constructively and then use them to better himself and his team. Everyone starts out with a piece of trash. It takes a better person to accept critics opinions and use them to make that piece of trash into a work of art.
Oh TH-cam, why you recommend this to me. No need to remind me TB is no longer with us...
Original "Garrys incident" video - 476k views
The video made by TB after the producers get TBs video taken down - 3.1m views
There's a lesson in all this for all you producers out there.
I’m just now watching this video and it hurts seeing a video from 8 years ago still being so relevant. Look at The Act Man, who wasn’t even brought down from a company but from a different TH-camr.
Hello recommended. Miss you TotalBiscuit, my introduction to TH-cam.
Same random recommended video. Miss him
Fuck the stupid petitions, we just need a youtube competitor!
Dailymotion, Blip tv, Metacafe, Vimeo.
yoni0505 Honestly only Vimeo is coming anywhere near competing in my book the others are just annoying to use
There are already several sites that are way better than TH-cam. You sheeple haven't been looking for them.
Vimeo is a good platform, but you can't really monetize it.
The only options I know of are tips and pay to watch. So for someone who wants to make a living from creating videos that isn't an option.
yoni0505 Dailymotion. Not only are they a better video site, but they don't make you sign up for a shitty wannabe facebook, they have less rules about mature content and they have more ways to monetize videos. You can even monetize by just embedding videos you like on your own site. Like I said, there are other options available. The sheeple just refuse to look.
I love how even 10 years later, its still the truth..
thanks for everything TB, i will greatly miss you..
MY GOD HIS VOICE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT!
STANLEY PARABLE FOR YOUUUUU MY FRIEND
What a classic. Miss you John!
TH-cam recommended this vid, I have to come here to pay respects. Miss you TB, the gaming community really isn't the same without your scathing yet honest opinions.
haha exactly the same
We miss you terribly TB. The internet isn't the same without you.
lol I would love to hear this video ruined Wild Games Studio
it appears they took down their website. i lol'd
oh look the cancer of pokemon
who likes to be a buzzkill to pokemon and make it look bad for it's REAL fans
@@legendarydigitize2523 that comment is 4 years old lol why even reply to it?
@@KiddsWithClass im replying to a comment thats 2 weeks old

RiP TB. Your reviews made me question everything gaming. For that i will never forget you.
R.I.P TB. We will miss you friend.....
You just tore this guy a new one, the cool calm collective and condescending way hahaha my favorite. Bravo bravo!
I'll put this up on my g-plus to pass the message around as you instructed, again excellent video on a subject which has affected me as well.
How unprofessional of wildgamestudios.
And how professional of TotalBiscuit
I just hope Google has noticed this video/will notice this video and listen to it. I hope that by commenting on it, I somehow make it slightly more noticeable and powerful.
I think they probably have seen it, just like they have seen all the hate against the comment system and the hate about the new layout about a year ago. Trouble is, however, they don't want to listen to it and would rather do their own thing. I guess they have a "Don't like it? Don't use it" attitude about these things :/
They probably did notice it, but I think breaking youtube's UI and forcing Google+ integration is higher on their priorities... for some reason.
The best thing i love about this is that hes stays sort of calm through this
We miss you TB.
RIP my Friend!
Needed a reminder of why you will always be BOSS!
This was the video that introduced me to you Bain. I hope you enjoyed your life brother.
When you get right down to it, what TotalBiscuit is really talking about are corporations both large and small abusing TH-cam's copyright takedown system to censor content providers and ban their channels. He's standing up for the people who don't have the resources to fight back. That is commendable, and speaks highly of his character. I give both my like and a subscribe in support.
Couldn't agree more. It makes absolutely no sense for a company to censor and discourage what is essentially free advertising for their products. Its ridiculous, backward and frankly just wrong.
This video came up on my recommendation list and I broke out into tears. Miss you so much TB, it was hard sitting and watching this again after all these years. I can only imagen how you would be handleing the nonsense in todays gaming.
Ill always miss and remember you, TB.
This is why I don't feel bad being a pirate. NO ONE CARES ABOUT COPYRIGHT!
I'm a pirate, what did you expect?
Catalistic YARR YE SCURVY DOG! ..what do you mean 'not that kind of pirate' ?
'YO HO HO, you dont actually say that?'
Pirating and copyright infringement are two very different things, that people disagree with for an entirely different set of reasons. I'm not passing judgement on anybody, I just wanted to make that clear. Pirating is not copyright infringement, selling pirated copies of games is.
pondwhale I know. Pirating as when you torrent something is considered as sharing. You own something and you want to share it for those who can't afford it. While copyright infringement is GETTING A PROFIT of something patented/copyrighted. Right? CMIIW
I blame youtube over all of this... They been doing the users experience worse and worse. TH-cam need some competitor because right now they own internet videos and do whatever the hell they want.
We still miss you 😢
Why what happened to him? Did he quit?
@@TotallyRoyal he passed away 2018
To everyone saying that this is TH-cam's new copyright system, and I know there are a few of you:
_Look at the bloody date._ This is still morally fucked but it isn't TH-cam's fault in this ONE occasion but the publishers trying to screw people out of their money.
And now Angry Joe is going through the same thing by activition,
seriously, WTF??
Adam Savage When in doubt, search angry joe copyrights on the search bar
damn man we miss you more every year
I miss you total biscuit
