Supergiant Games just announced one of the clearest policies I’ve read on a developer’s stance for Let’s Players in a long time.
The reasoning behind its statement is not only proactive on their part, it’s also dead simple: “We often get emails from video content creators asking our permission to create and monetize videos about Bastion,” wrote the developer. “We wanted to come up with a clear stance on this to save everyone the trouble of ever having to ask us about it again.”
