Graphic gaming content. In addition to our existing guidelines around graphic gaming content, we will age-restrict an additional small subset of video game content featuring realistic human characters that focuses on scenes of torture or scenes of mass violence against non-combatants. We’ll consider several factors when reviewing this type of content such as:
Duration - If the graphic scene is sustained (rather than fleeting). For compilation videos, we’ll now consider the cumulative duration of all of the graphic clips combined.
Prominence - If the violent imagery is zoomed-in or the main focus of the scene
Realistic human characters - If the violence is happening to a character that looks like a real human
I just know that age-restricted videos don’t usually perform well and I have a bad feeling that we will see more censoring to make the video “monetizable”. I watched some gameplay or even review which has gameplay footage in the background so I’m concerned if that would affect review as well as I like knowing roughly what the gameplay would be like
