YouTube is changing up how it previously moderate violent video game content.

Starting today, video game violence will be treated by YouTube the same way any scripted content is treated. That mean fewer restrictions for violence in gaming, with future game uploads requiring only approval instead of being age-restricted.

Google will still continue to protect viewers from videos of real-world violence, however.

YouTube Representative:

“We know there’s a difference between real-world violence and scripted or simulated violence – such as what you see in movies, TV shows, or video games. So we want to make sure we’re enforcing our violent or graphic content policies consistently.”

And the company says it may still age-restrict content if violent or gory imagery is the sole focus of the video. For example, if the video focuses entirely on the most graphically violent part of a video game. That being said, these changes have no effect on advertiser guidelines, so some particularly gratuitous depictions of violence in video games still may face limited or no ads.

If they could only tone down the abusive amount if ads. My TV has so much ads that sometimes the app stops or simply exits. Not to mention on my pc, can't see a short video without it warning me about hundreds of ads. Very annoying.

They didn't introduce "Premium" for them to tone down the amount of ads bro. Greedy world we live in, thats whats up.

Wow, YouTube doing something sensible.

Good news for fighting game content creators.

As a creator, I'm baffled that Youtube would dare to do something fucking positive for once.

Does it mean Devorah will have a break from being an only victim in every Mortal Kombat 11 finisher video since the release?
