Vimeo Bans Video Game Videos
July 22nd, 2008 at 11:36 amSource:CenterNetworks
NY-based video sharing service Vimeo has decided to no longer allow video game videos. In an announcement made yesterday on the Vimeo company blog, Blake Whitman noted that new videos will be removed and current videos are subject to deletion after September 1st.
Blake explains that there are two main reasons for the change. First, Vimeo is about creative expression and copying a video game isn’t creative expression. Second, the game videos are larger and longer than most other videos which causes their transcoder to push long wait times for other Vimeo members. I’ve noticed this wait on Viddler as well and from what I understand on Viddler it has to do with non-U.S. show content.
There are nearly 500 replies on the Vimeo blog discussing the change - most are for the change. Apparently YouTube also bans these type of video game videos. The big question in the forums is what specific videos will be deleted and which will remain. Apparently it will have a lot to do with what the staff call "creative merit".
