TL;DR version

"Specifically, we are no longer going to allow game walk-throughs, game strategy videos, depictions of player vs player battles, raids, fraps, or any other video gaming videos that simply depict individuals playing a video game."

I think that this was stupid, now everyone will not use that site anymore and they will lose money.

Try this spot it looks pretty cool http://www.gamevee.com/

and in the distance we hear the sound of yet another company shooting themselves in the foot.

If anyone needs someplace to host a video, any size, just let me know. Unlimited bandwith all that jazz.

That's the site I started uploading all of my videos to last night.

It's specifically for game videos, so nobody can pull the vimeo bullsh*t. ;) When I first joined Vimeo I recall video game content a matter of contention, and finally a vimeo admin stepped in and said it would be allowed. Now, a few months later, they're rescinding their decision. Such a shame - vimeo's uploader and video quality were excellent.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

WoW (and games in general) are insanely popular, which direclty equates to massive amounts of traffic.

Sure, traffic = $$$, but will that $$$ overcome the insane amount of bandwidth being used? I have my doubts.As stated in IRC, I will write a something. I have enough resources and the most my server ever done was 10tb a month in bandwith, 96mb/s sitting there doing nothing lol :)

Just anyone handy with flash that can knock up a player similar to vimeo?
