So I stream this game on twitch regularly. But stopped because the In-game Soundtrack kept getting me copyright problems... Which I can't dispute because it's an ingame soundtrack... Which is weird because the soundtrack was written for the game ...... So idk if the band, producer, or Studio Tech made claims against the music being played in game. But it's inconvenient. The game on Xbox is lacking in content anyway. But trying to play it without heavy music to kill zeds to is really off-putting.
Music being an issue with Streaming
- Thread starter Rhoy_The_Redneck
- Start date
It's been like that for years. They get flagged, although inconsistently, sometimes do, sometimes don't.
What TWI could do is reach out to YT and Twitch and ask them for an exemption or whatever so KF2 games don't get flagged. This will definitely result in more streams and more promotion of the game. It's a shame that some don't stream KF2 just because of these bogus copyright infringement issues.

We are not the rights holder of all the music, so we do not control what does or does not get flagged in that regard.

Well, dang. Yoshiro replied in the middle of my typing this, so...
Some of the soundtrack is exclusive to the game, but some of it like Demon Hunter and such is music belonging to whatever rights holders or whatever record company deals with that IP, which is where it gets sticky.
I'm not completely up-to-date with the inner workings of YouTube and its copyright bots but AFAIK you can't just get a blanket exception to that system by tagging a game or whatever piece of media, it works on a completely different basis.

Then it would make sense to have a "streamer friendly" checbox in the "gameplay" section of the options to exclude all copyrighted content and leave only not copyrighted so the streams don't get taken down or demonetized or have the audio track removed or whatever else they do to the streams.
