Because of the main part of the message I linked they very likely can't just come out and say exactly why the policy change happened. That's how legal negotiations tend to work.

ArchVileTerror Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 The timing on this is rather fortuitous. I was contemplating how best to author some tutorials for non-game-savvy individuals who are interested in attending the Pride celebrations. Looks like Youtube video tutorials are back on the menu! 1

Techwright Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I've never done streaming or game video posting myself. I'm tempted to start the latter, but I've got too much RL to deal with at the moment. That said I'm hoping someone(s) will make some spectacular training videos for new players. I've been trying to get a pair of friends to join, and I realized the other day that what I take for granted comes from years of playing. The nuances, especially the variations that are unique to Homecoming, would take a ton of time to explain to friends. I'd love to be able to point them to a training series and say "Watch these, and we'll talk afterwards".

Sellefane Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) So will you be retro-actively unbanning people who streamed or uploaded videos? Additionally, are videos shot pre-change in CoC permissible to be uploaded? Edited May 14, 2021 by Sellefane 1

Take solace in the fact that I tested the majority of these things on the dead, the re-dead, and the nearly departed before I went to live trials.

captainstar Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I made one archer called "Man in Tight", do I have to delete him? (yup, is a homage to Mel Brooks) 1
rolandgrey Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Yay! Now I have to figure out how to livestream! 😛 You can be a good man, the best man in the world... But there will always be somebody who hates a good man.
JayboH Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 12 hours ago, Cipher said: That is correct as long as the content / platform abides by the Code of Conduct (and the video policy therein). This means no, you can not stream on Twitch, at least, not without the possibility of a ban on Twitch. They probably won't do anything, but it is against Twitch' terms of service to stream unauthorized servers. They have banned people in the past. I doubt NCSoft will go after Twitch for it but I just want people to know that streaming Homecoming City of Heroes on Twitch is directly against their policies and they have acted on it many times before for other games.

City Council Jimmy Posted May 14, 2021 Author City Council Posted May 14, 2021 For those asking about prior bans: Nobody has been permanently banned just for posting videos We do not discuss individual cases with anyone but the player in question Submit a private support ticket if you have further questions about this. A public forum is not the correct venue. 1 Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive? Consider volunteering as a Game Master!

I assure you if they didn't want that they wouldn't have changed the policy to allow it. I'm honestly confused why you even think they don't want us streaming the game in the first place.

TheSpiritFox Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I know I'm in a minority but I hate this change. I hate streaming culture, I don't want to invite Twitch streamers in, I just want to play the game. Bad change imo. Also like is there any actual word on "negotiations" cause at this point like after 2 years I would have expected to see more than "we're talking" that doesn't sound legit tbh.
