Both @GuidedHacking and CheatTheGame's channels are gone since yesterday, and more getting banned today!

Recently, you must have heard on the 'net by now about Rockstar cracking down on people making GTA V Game mods/cheats, going as far as raiding their homes with police and dragging them into court, but now it seems YouTube has decided to start cracking down on any channel that has videos 'showing' people how to use programs like x64dg to make 'game cheats' or 'mods' and flat out terminating all their videos, channel itself, and does not look like YT is going to backdown on this latest enforcement actions, refusing so far to listen to the growing backlash on social media over their Dalek-like actions!

We'd like to inform you that we've received a Circumvention of Technologies complaint regarding your YouTube account. Upon review, we've determined that activity in your account violates YouTube's Terms of Service. As a result, we've terminated your account. If you would like to appeal the suspension, please submit this form.

When we say circumvention of technological measures, we’re referring to tools that allow users to evade a software’s licensing protocol. This can mean serial numbers, keygens, passwords, and other methods to hack software or games.

A CTM claim is appropriate when the infringed material isn’t present in the video (or directly linked to), but the video offers a way for users to access it illegitimately.

You can see more reports on the growing 'reddit' thread linked below, but what are your thoughts on the whole new 'enforcement' action by YT over 'modding/hacking/cheats' videos on their platform?

Modding games aren't usually a crime. YouTube is once again being a dumbass with their decisions!

Define "old".

I live in a small island which is always outdated the 80s came in late 90s 4 example and nothing like US...

When I say old ppl is that not many years ago when we were on PC or console at friends houses their parents were like PC = devil, nowadays they are the ones that are mostly online on phones, tablets, laptops or whatever all day long even in the work on the crap Facebook and even playing assbook games and bragging with them self lol...

I'm almost doing 29, but most my friends that I play with have ~35.

My thoughts are fuck them all, they're destroying the legacy of this people on teaching us how to really rock&roll in mods.

Seen here,After the closing of loveroms which must pay 12 million dollars to nintendo, rockstar attacks the mod on youtube, retrogaming videos that contain copyright music etc... I don't know where we go, but we go, the dematerialized games, I think it's time to go back to our old consoles nes ,snes,genesis,neo geo, everything that doesn't have an internet connection, the world goes crazy... I no longer recognize the world where I live, I regret the time when I exchanged my diskettes or game cassettes, under the coat, shared in a school class, not the Internet, only the paper press magazines, ah I almost regret that time.

I guess my youtube video of ghost'n ghoblins Nes, hack on switch,
conversion arcade ,I give a link for the ips patch,I'm going to be youtube ban.
I have to stop reading pessimistic things here. (Pokemon bricked switch)
I read about it on gbatemp, all on the same day, it's too much for me right now.

Sure YouTube, just let everyone keep uploading illegal music to your site and let it gain millions of views with ads on it.
