Heh, that's not how the law works . Again, if Mick Jagger sent you unreleased Rolling Stones songs by mistake, that doesn't mean you now own those songs and can do whatever you want with them including putting them up on Youtube .
And just to be clear, I am not talking about JaWoodle first publishing of the video before TFP informed him that it contained information they didn't want to disclose to the public, I am talking about the fact that he didn't comply with their request to immediately edit or delete the video.
You don't have to be under an NDA to be legally and morally required to not disclose other's IP. Let's say Mick Jagger sent you unreleased Rolling Stones songs by mistake (my go-to rhetorical example). Maybe he typed in the wrong email address. It doesn't matter. You happen to not be under NDA with Rolling Stones. Do you think this means you are allowed to share those songs with the public? Just because you have never signed an NDA with them? That now you can share the songs with everyone as if you own them and that would be totally fine and decent and nice and not break any laws regarding intellectual property?
UHM. He was given the wrong build, then was told to take it down. He was under no contract to do so, especially since he was given it, and told he COULD create with it. Not until he created the video was he told to take it down. By the time it was released, it was too late, they saw it, and he made a statement that it wasn't released content yet. That should have been good enough. Again, you ■■■■ heads that defend a company that continuously makes mistakes and blames the community, are ■■■■ stupid.

He didn't have to comply. Where do you get he legally had to comply? He tried to actually come to a meeting point where they could both come out on top. Tfp admitted they ■■■■ed up. But then blamed him for his videos. He didn't have to take it down. He was not an employee. He was actually under contract to share his content with the material he WAS GIVEN. They are the ones that ■■■■ed up.

It is not really your, or my, and certainly not JaWoodle's, privilege to judge whether his statement should be "good enough for TFP". That prerogative lies solely with TFP. And apparently a simple statement wasn't sufficient for them: They wanted their proprietary information unpublished entirely. Which is their right. After all, and despite having erroneously sent it to JaWoodle, they own that IP and decide for themselves when it should be publicly disclosed or not.
Thinking Jawoodler is more in the wrong does not have to equate to "defending TFP".
Not everything is black and white. And when it comes to how people operate, nothing is black and white...though it is a lot easier to think that things are. Maybe that's why the average amount of people think that way.
The utter bs of people defending TFP, is astonishing. They keep ■■■■ing the game up, then back tracking. I love this game. But they keep making horrible choices. If it weren't for the YouTubers, this game would definitely not be as popular. That's 100% guaranteed. It's why they have streamer weekends. The streamers have made this game way more popular.
If the idiots who gave him the wrong build would have double checked the ■■■■, they wouldn't be in this mess. He was under no contract not to post whatever he wanted. No NDA. So, no. He's going to win the lawsuit because they ■■■■ed up. Just because someone asks you to remove something, and not employed by them, doesn't mean you have to. So TFP can FRO.
The only thing that should have happened, is they should have accepted his posts about things not being finished yet, and put out a statement of things yet to come, and admitted their mistake publicly. Not chastise a creator they rely on.
Also, they better have fired the ■■■■■■■ that sent the file to him. Ffs.
No. I don't pay money to YouTubers. No I don't subscribe to anyone. I watch a lot of streamers.u have bought the OG console version and PC version. I've been around for more than 10 years. So ■■■■ off.

Wtf. I am definitely not one of those. Have watched a handful of his videos. The people sucking the ■■■■ out of TFP are ridiculous. TFP have made a ton of mistakes. From losing the console rights, to abandoning that community for years, to making a game that sucked and they scrapped in less than a month... Come on. They even blame the community continuously.
Yeah okay. Top 100 on Steam for literal years but somehow the game is a dumpsterfire that no one likes or plays. It's the mods and streamers that keep the game alive. You're totally delusional. Any choice TFP makes at all has a gaggle of dorks crying and insulting them over it.
You have zero idea how much streamers have actually contributed to this games success. Not one single bit of math. It's all your own speculation pulled straight out from between your cheeks.
TFP made a simple mistake and gave the WORST person the wrong build. Sure they should've double checked, but no one is perfect. This mess also could have been avoided if woodle had any integrity at all the moment he noticed he had the wrong build and told TFP. He could have avoided it by editing his video after he was asked to. Woodle is the one who made multiple choices to record and post all of the bandit content that he 100% knew was not cool to do.
You don't know the contracts, you have zero idea what any of it entails. Woodle has proven to be uncooperative even though he was supposed to be working together with TFP. He made the choice to harm his relationship with them so he can farm an artificial drama that he created himself. You don't need contracts to legally stop someone from leaking private assets after accidentaly giving that person access.
No one at TFP is going to be fired because they typed the wrong number by accident, yall think way too highly of your hero. Woodle is the one who made that simple mistake into a huge problem to begin with. You're just another drone spouting the same overused nonsense against 7DTD because facts have never mattered to you. The game is very popular and successful despite all the crap you mentioned. If there's any community that deserves to be abandoned at a Walmart, it's this one.
Because he was disclosing their intellectual property, without permission. No one is allowed to do that.
Again, if Mick Jagger sent you (by mistake) unreleased RS songs, you would not be allowed to distribute these to anyone else. You wouldn't be in trouble for having received them (after all that wasn't your fault), you wouldn't even get in trouble for listening to them, but you would likely get in trouble if you passed them on to others. Let's say you still decided to put them on the Internet because that's simply how badass you are, then you would quickly be contacted by their legal counsel who would politely, or not so politely, ask you to stop (cease and desist letter) and failure to do so could quickly lead to litigation and even police involvement.
"But that's music songs!" Doesn't matter. Game builds including proprietary code and game structures are also intellectual property and TFP could likely prove it was their IP.
All fine and good, but you used that to call "laughable" the attitude that "both parties deserve blame for greed, equally". Because like you note, we don't know who was being greedy, if anyone.
Now, I'll admit I thought it was you who actually called JaWoodle a "greedy B*" earlier, and then you defending your own statement; but that wasn't the case. You're just defending someone else making that claim. It's still someone calling JaWoodle a murderer, without any evidence.
I’d just like to say that when I was in charge of the streamer weekend, Woodle seemed pretty capable of communicating with me instantly despite his relative world position to me.
Was that the case this year? How quickly could you have given him an actual answer? How quickly would the current org? Did Woodle know the setup for this year? Did he have other issues this year?
Being able to send discord messages is barely the start of the troubles in that scenario, and we don't even know he had that at the time of recording
No, i went from excessivly high to bizar low amounts, just to make a point. NOBODY knows what was discussed in the private negotiations that JaWoodle himself stated that he cannot and will not make that public. So you re being nitpicky and dont want to recognize that neither you or i know what was negotiated and if the failure is the fault of TFP or JaWoodle. As said, ad hominems dont have any value to me.
. Again, if Mick Jagger sent you unreleased Rolling Stones songs by mistake, that doesn't mean you now own those songs and can do whatever you want with them including putting them up on Youtube
