Furthermore, if the content covered in only two of Eroktic's videos were of concern to Battlestate, why did the developer file copyright strikes against the other 45? There's little doubt that Battlestate chose to go after Eroktic under the pretenses of DMCA violations in order to force a more swift response from YouTube, but it doesn't make those pretenses any less false. Battlestate Games holds that this pair of videos contained blatant misinformation, but rather than move to file a lawsuit against Eroktic and issue a clarifying statement to the Escape from Tarkov community, Battlestate instead engaged in a puzzling misuse of the YouTube's copyright strike system. The copyright strikes that removed at least 47 of Eroktic's videos from his YouTube channel were prompted by his warning to other players of a potential leak of Escape from Tarkov players' data in two separate videos.

Therefore, it should strike one as odd that the indie developer would claim DMCA violations against a YouTuber popular among the Escape from Tarkov community, especially when most developers encourage players to stream and upload videos of their games as a form of free and mutually beneficial marketing.
It entered the beta phase of development this year and, prior to the events that have thrust Battlestate into the negative spotlight, was largely unknown to most of the gaming community. These videos were removed automatically by YouTube despite the fact that none of them violate copyright law, and Battlestate's response to the online backlash it has received only highlights the absurdity of its claims.īattlestate Games advertises Escape from Tarkov as an FPS/RPG/MMO hybrid, first announced in 2015. The situation arose when Croatian YouTuber and streamer Eroktic had dozens of his videos removed from YouTube following copyright strikes issued by Battlestate. Battlestate Games, the Russian developer of online FPS Escape from Tarkov, is having negative YouTube videos taken down en masse, and it's turned the Escape from Tarkov community against it in the process.
