so that blurry thing might hint on somthing importent? like sky 7 importent?.

That's what the case may be

Yeah, considering the entire Imaginators soundtrack is third party, it's a little overestimating to go "omg Acti doesn't want you to know". APM Music sends claims like crazy.

Can we have informations about the copyright claim? Was it Activision? Who is the user?

I'm currently attempting to gather additional information. I am pretty sure that the person who had their video removed is currently in school, so I haven't heard back yet. My understanding is that Activision is not the one who issues the claims/strikes. When I had my video about the 3d printing removed it was by a company called Irdeto. Irdeto is contracted by Activision and other companies to protect their content.

About this music thing, I recently got a Wii U capture card and was planning on doing an Imaginators walkthrough without commentary. Could I possibly get a copyright strike, or will it just disable monetization because of the music? I could care less about monetization, I just like to upload lets-plays.

I wonder if Activision would strike a fake Skylanders 7 leak video to simply avoid creating unwanted hype.
Doubt it, but guess it could be a possibility.

Are we talking about this drama by any chance or it's a different video that also got a copyright strike the same day?

You don't get a copyright strike, just a copyright claim that prevents you from monetizing the video. It will still be watchable by everyone.

oh, that? he made the "potato brain" video to insult another user he didn't like

I want to say 'how old are they, 13?' but that's the right answer and then I remember that those people make more ad money than most of the competent Skylanders youtubers, and I make myself sad.

One of them is. The rest are 15+ (I'm 16)

Then the question is entirely valid. Though I guess using youtube for drama and petty infighting is hardly new.

Ok so I have an update about what happened. The above user (SkyFan91) falsely told me, when he had no actual hard evidence, that the video was given a copyright strike. He failed to mention that he was simply speculating about what happened. I apologize on the above "potato head's" behalf. The video was actually simply changed to private to prevent a copyright strike from being given. Another video has been found, seen below, that includes the images and has not yet been taken down. Sorry for the false alarm, and sorry for believing a blatantly fake source. (Skyfan91)



Also might be worth adding that my video, along with several others, that did not include the images have suffered no consequences as of yet.

Now I think that blurry image looks like somebody's left arm wearing a cuffed blue glove/mitten in the foreground.

i just remamberd! tommorow we will finaly get some sort of clarification on the franchise future!!.

That's what I'm "seeing" as well, and it doesn't match Night Shift's gloves in color.

If the one in the background truly is Shroomboom (looks like he is, but it's definitely too blurry to understand if it's an old figure or a new repose) I guess this could be one of those shots with a row of new figures in the foreground and a bunch of older ones to fill the screen in the back.

That being said, it could simply be a shot from an older game's trailer.
Might give them a look, later on.

You guys have fun figuring that out. Game or no game, I had enough fun doing news search last year but Instagram's poor tag search and the OMG LEAK youtubers have eclipsed the enjoyment of looking for new stuff. The fellows who show up here just for game news are also pretty ungrateful so I no longer care about making it any easier for them.

You're totally right. Sorry for the personal suffering, tho.

Well, if it was for you guys, I'd do it with love. But it's already hard to find anything after the first surge of news because there are 50 teens trying to get first dibs on Youtube, 50 reposts on Instagram and you never find the original, and 50 people asking 'omg I didn't visit for 5 hours can someone read the posts for me'. That plus the harassment and users that try to herd the subject but disappear as soon as the game is out means I'd rather just stick to the Wiki.

I still stand by my claim that the franchise will end how Paul Richie said it would, with the final game tying everything together, and yhe franchise relieving a proper ending. Still can't find the interview though...

Well obviously we haven't gotten that ending yet. A good effort but not what Paul seems to picture. I think if so, Itd need to bevw creative efforto from TFB and VV

I know, I've been there concerning other topics and forums, and I perfectly understand you. It's absolutely frustrating, and most time not worth of it. But I really appreciate when you and the other like you can enlight us with a piece of news when possible. So thanks again, and there is no need for an explanation!

Yes, just a reminder to everyone, you can listen to the conference call LIVE tomorrow at 1:30pm PST, 4:30pm EST and 9:30pm UK time.

some ro-bow VFX

more VFX, with blaster tron's magic moment.

Now that Zap posted, why did people stopped caring about magic moments? I always thought they were one of my favorite visual parts about the game. Maybe placing a figure on a base and seeing it appear on the scream stopped looking cool... Since 2013.

I just realized- all the imaginators adventure packs have the same naming style.

adjective, noun, location.

Enchanted Elven Forest
Cursed Tiki Temple
Thumpin' Wumpa Islands

GPO is a bit different since it's first word isn't an adjective, but another noun.

I miss the days when I was the only teen scrambling to make videos. All these other guys started in the last 2 1/2 years. TBH the main reason I don't post on here now is because of the toxicity of certain members. The fact that we never actually got Kappapompom banned still irks me to this day. I still visit here on a regular basis, but sometimes I feel like I get attacked for even the littlest things. Anyways, back to lurking.

Elven's actually an adjective. (though it's based on the noun, so I get where you're coming from)

Could this character form the legend of spyro have inspired TFB to creat snapshot ?

Question: Where does the term "magic moment" comes from? Has it ever been used in the game or it's a term used by devs?

It's been used by the devs and everyone else latched on. I personally, still love the "magic moment".

I'd love it more if it were more elementally-themed like it was up to SuperChargers.
I won't lie, part of me hopes the upcoming update will make it a bit better, among the other things.

Kinda related, it's becoming more and more difficult to cover family games and stay profitable as business on youtube. I'm seeing plenty of bigger channels have to evolve, including Family Gamer. I'm sure the rush of lots of people to cover news is playing a big part in that. YouTube's algorithms have also changed a lot, which is having an impact.

You forgot Click bait...you forgot click bait *sigh*

I can't front I wanted to report on stuff like that, but I QUICKLY saw how flooded the market was getting nd stopped before I even started.
-Unreall

Even clickbait videos have more breathing room between them. The kid crowd making a video for every blurry pixel and "analysis" videos that are wild speculation/hype fabrication are easily over 10 per day not counting reposts when "something" happens. Also rampant frebotting, which no doubt gets on the nerves of the few Skylanders youtubers that still depend on the franchise.

I'll gladly stick to the subreddit and Vimeo, which are muuch slower.

Yeah, I totally understand. Me and PortalPowerTV were talking a while ago about how what used to work on YouTube doesn't work anymore. I still enjoy the way you guys do your Skylanders and Lightseekers videos though.

Click bait is a massive problem in today's YouTube world. This primarily comes from people not understanding YouTube algorithms. They think that channels get promoted based on views rather than audience retention rate. They also think they get paid based on clicks, rather than long duration ad impressions. I wish my fellow Skylander YouTubers understood this.

Unfortunately those types of videos are the only way to reliably get attention. People like that type of content so we try to cater to those people. When I do an unboxing video, I never get even 200 views. When I make a news video, I reliably break 1,000 and can get to 2,000 pretty easily as well. Of course some people click bait more than others but it is still a problem.
