>>7432706Before the Holocaust, Cover was trying to go more legit and getting permissions for all games going forward. 2434 had been through similar drama months earlier and was getting permissions publicly from some companies, which was forcing Cover's hand. They'd been implementing a policy of getting permissions for all games for about 1-2 months before the Holocaust. They left up all the old streams where they didn't have permissions, since they didn't think anyone would care.
Capcom struck 2 of Mio's Ghost Trick streams, blocking her from streaming for 90 days and putting her 1 strike away from getting banned entire off Youtube.
Cover, realising how they had 0 legal weight behind them if any other company did the same, went full scorched earth on the VODs, removing everything they didn't explicitly have permissions for. Still to this day there's a ton of old VODs which have never been recovered, including a lot of older debut streams and ones that would never have had any permissions issues.
