Amazon issues false copyright strike against New World YouTuber for reporting bug
Recently, YouTuber Video Game Databank discovered a serious bug in version 1.2 regarding aptitude levels in a single crafting attempt which purportedly resulted in his loss of 40,000 coins.

@izzion Not intending to counter the point that it's shitty for Amazon Game Studios to do that, but it appears that the video in question is available again (and the strike was apparently reversed [1]):

As far as I know, going by the date of YouTube comments, the video became available again at least 19 hours ago.
[1] Though, hoo boy, is there a load of bull being presented as the possible reason for the strike. Allegedly, Amazon meant to copyright strike the ad that played on the video (as it was allegedly a "gold selling" ad, allegedly put on the video through Google's Adsense), but instead struck his video and rejected the appeal.

No longer allegedly, that's Amazon's official excuse (and the guy struck kinda agrees, and explains as such a bit later in the video):

@ChaosTheEternal that's better than we usually see from the gaming industry, but Amazon isn't really in the gaming industry.
