Yup, seems to me that Gerstman ain't sweating over it simply because this about Youtube.

The better question is: why does anybody give a damn?
The God of War review made me look at the guy in a different light and the fact that he never addressed any of the criticisms that came his way hurt his image even more in my eyes.
Guys I'm no expert but why would Sony claim a video or use a lawsuit to stop people from making PS4 videos if they are gonna take HDCP out anyway?
It has to be EA. It seems like all the stress tweets came after the BF4 press event.
Giant Bomb has their own player that is independent from Youtube though.
The general consensus so far is that new rule regarding youtube monetisation are the issue
I am guessing it has to do with ps4... maybe relating to an EA game... cough... bf4... but all signs say it has nothing to do with xbox one and it is not a consumer related issue (words from sessler's replies/tweets) https://twitter.com/AdamSessler/status/394341022924165120
Then dent's words on the matter appear to be supporting my conclusions.
Well yeah, this won't affect most of us if it has to do with video capture..Right now this just seems like something being blown WAY out of proportion. Obviously we need to know more.

I really like Adam Sessler. I usually agree with what he has to say 99% of the time and he seems like an all around very educated person and is well spoken when it comes to getting a point across. With that said, I will be pretty sad if he leaves the industry.
I love Sess, but sometimes he can be THE drama queen, I need to hear from another journo before I freak out.
Whoa, Sessler stay! I heart thee.
So sessler is thinking about career options because of a battlefield 4 issue on ps4. Hope this is a troll. I fell hook line and sinker.I am guessing it has to do with ps4... maybe relating to an EA game... cough... bf4... but all signs say it has nothing to do with xbox one and it is not a consumer related issue (words from sessler's replies/tweets) https://twitter.com/AdamSessler/status/394341022924165120

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
Reviewing games for a living
"Reporting" on industry happenings
Calling yourself a "journalist" and not an "enthusiast" writer.
The only person whose even remotely a journalist who is covering games is Erik Kain, he has written pieces that matter about real world issues, games journalism is a joke.
Scathing articles are never written in fear of a black ball while this generation was the shadiest money grabbing period ever.

Yeah, I heard a lot of people upset, like in waves. The thing that makes me think youtube is that Sess is clearly the most upset of them all. And he WANTS to make video. A while back I hear that if not for REV 3 he would go into corporate banking or law or something.
So, maybe he thinks if the youtube loophole is closes, he is out of it.
So are YouTube jockeys about to have to get real jobs?
If this comes down to Sessler not getting a dev kit when he wants one because Sony is loaning those kits out to actual developers who are making games for the system, then good on them.
I don't mind Sessler, but the idea of journalist entitlements that might cripple a developer's ability to get work done piss me off.
If this is some change up to their current monetization policies for journalists who want to record video, given how childish the bulk of game journalists online are these days and how quickly they are to follow the money before providing honest coverage, I tend to be even more indifferent to their plight of running banker's hours, dicking around most of the day, expecting to pay the rent that way, and then balking when they get called on it.
Well yeah, this won't affect most of us if it has to do with video capture..

Pretty much. I think it's something bigger like YouTube not allowing upload of any game footage from now on or something like that.
I'm starting to lean towards it being a major third party publisher blocking YouTube monetization for all their titles on both platforms. A career change due to a first party publisher locking down footage doesn't make much sense.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.
@Meselyn it's about HDCP capture on the PS4 and he's just bitching publicly over it.

My guess is the Sony review event?

Big whoop.
