They changed it to "well, if we don't like you we'll get rid of you" kind of thing. I tried to get more clarification here, but the question got closed, which is such a typical SE response. | |

I would be surprised if this was not the explanation to why they don't take any action - in fact game developers often actively try and make their games play well along with screen capture software for the purposes of either recording or streaming. P.S. I imagine it would fare extremely bad if a game company were to sue someone over uploading a gameplay video to Youtube (or another platform). | |
