Reminds me of when I unsubbed from a YouTuber I'd previously liked cuz he got all performative and whined/bitched because you can kill civilians in a hospital in GTA4. Anyways, my YouTube videos will now include even more NPC murder. Viva la resistance! [image]

New YouTube policy announced cracking down on online gambling and skin gambling ads (CS is saved), but it's also targeting ‘graphic violence’ in games and will begin age restricting videos of “mass violence against non-combatants”. So every GTA6 release day video [image]
