Quemapueblos: Dear Commanders,We have further reviewed the incident of last
Friday involving SirFoch and his “Chrysler K GF rant” video, and
know we could have handled the situation a lot better. We strongly
support our players’, including our Community Contributors’, right
to speak critically about us and our games. We acted too quickly
and over the line when we threatened to have YouTube remove
SirFoch’s video through a copyright infringement complaint and we
are apologizing for that.We’re committed to doing a better job on
this front. We’re going to improve the way we communicate with our
Community and our Community Contributors, and as part of that
effort we will work with them on more detailed, specific guidelines
to help ensure incidents like this don’t happen again.Our official
position is that Wargaming will not take copyright action against
opinions based on our publicly released content.Over the weekend we
released a statement to some media outlets regarding the content of
SirFoch’s video that inferred that SirFoch’s videos contained hate
speech and homophobia. While we would obviously not want such
content to be associated with any of our games – this video clearly
did not. We apologize for this statement, and we don't stand behind
those claims.We love our players and our contributors – and we
appreciate their honesty and commitment – we are committed to using
this incident to grow and improve. Jointly signed byThaine
