YouTube has been pretty aggressive about cracking down on YouTube channels that upload any sort of video game content.
I just want to say kudos to Paradox for going out of it's way to help those who want to do this. It is not every company that will take a step like this!
While it is nice, they have much to gain from this as well, considering what an effective source for advertising these let's play videos can be.
Paradox Interactive however wrote a written consent allowing monetization of gameplay from their games.
We've seen a rise in questions regarding let's plays and streaming of our games. If you're having issues with Youtube http://ow.ly/rEJc5
Hello!
We have understood that many of you are having videos containing material from our games removed from Youtube because you need written consent from us.
Our legal department composed a letter which hopefully will be enough for Youtube, so feel free to use it (see attachment in this post)
Please let us know if Youtube accepts it, or if we need to do something else.
Best Regards
Björn
