Hi GAF,
some German gaming media is reporting that they got a mail from Square Enix at the end of April. Square Enix prohibits to create and publish self-made screenshots and videos of any of their games.
First of all, I want to point out that I don't work for any of those sites who got a mail and I don't want to increase the traffic of those sites. That's why I'm not naming them.
However, back on topic. I think the job of gaming media is to inform potential customers about the quality of games. And such a prohibition may be preventing gaming media to do this job. We all know the difference between some bullshots and real screenshots. And Square Enix probably wants gaming media to publish bullshots only...?
