Update News
Youtube Policy Change
May 28, in the year of our Lord 2013 - - Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games has made an important policy change in
terms of Youtube. Family Friendly Gaming will still upload
videos to the Family Friendly Gaming Youtube channel. Family
Friendly Gaming will stop using embedded code from Youtube
channels other than their own on the Family Friendly Gaming
website. This is being enacted due to multiple problems that recently
occurred. The first was a company decided to pull their video
from Youtube and did not notify Family Friendly Gaming. This
resulted in a dead page on the Family Friendly Gaming website.
The second problem was a company edited their video and
offensive content was added. The third problem is certain
companies are using a family friendly video to bring families
into videos that are not family friendly. They neglect the safe
guards Family Friendly Gaming employs.
“There has been a trend starting where a couple of companies are
trying to force everyone to use their Youtube channels instead
of providing the videos to media outlets like Family Friendly
Gaming,” explained Editor in Chief Paul Bury. “They want
complete control, and carry that over to our coverage. We will
respect your rights to be the only company to house your video
on Youtube. We can upload the videos to other sites like
Facebook where we are assured no one will alter or remove it
without notifying us.”
Family Friendly Gaming is willing to download family friendly
videos that are provided by a wide array of companies. Family
Friendly Gaming is willing to upload them to Youtube, Godtube,
or Facebook. Family Friendly Gaming is no longer willing to use
embedded code that is controlled by those who may or may not
have the same values, policies, morals, and ethics that we do.
{UPDATE 08/20/2013}: This policy applies to all sites in
relation to embedded video code. A third issue was added to the
story.
{UPDATE 05/20/2014}: Family Friendly Gaming is now accepting
written authorization from companies to monetize the videos.
