Microsoft have announced and put into place a new formal policy regarding lets play videos and streams on sites such as Twitch TV.
Until now Microsoft haven't really had a formal policy in place, But since streaming has become so much easier they have taken the decision to put a policy into effect.
This is something to think about if you are planning to use any Microsoft games in any upcoming videos.
Im going to list some of the policy here
first you can no longer extract files in order to make Machinima style stories. You can still make them just don't extract those files.
You can not sell your videos and can not include your videos on a page that sells other products even if the other products have nothing to do with games.
You cant use game content to make anything that is lewd, vulgar, pornographic, illegal, discriminatory (race, religion, gender, sexual orientation), hate speech, promoting violence, drug use or any illegal activity. Also anything promoting crimes against humanity, torture or genocide or anything else objectionable.
Lastly anything created using Microsoft studios , Microsoft are automatically granted a royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license. All that means that Microsoft can use your creations and name without your permission or compensation.
Anyway these are some things to think about if your using any Microsoft game in your streams and videos.
