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.

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?
