Fullscreen Inc. owns The Witcher 3 and nothing you say can convince me otherwise. What? You say CD Projekt Red owns The Witcher 3? That’s impossible!

Obviously I’m being facetious. Fullscreen Inc., no stranger to allegations of copyright abuse, is once again digging itself into a PR hole yet again this weekend after Youtubers began receiving copyright strikes over gameplay videos from titles that Fullscreen definitely does not own. Adding insult to injury, the copyright claims don’t so much list proof of ownership or violation as they do a number.

This story was covered by Reclaimthenet, and it looks like Fullscreen Inc.’s copyright bot is targeting videos of The Witcher 3 and Doki Doki Literature Club. A quick look through Twitter returns a fair number of accounts posting their grievances with the company. This isn’t the first time Fullscreen Inc. has gotten in hot water over illegal copyright claims, as last July users reported having their ad revenue claimed over Doom gameplay footage.

Will Youtube fix its broken copyright system? Probably not. MMO Fallout has reached out to Fullscreen Inc. for comment and will update if we receive a response.

Woke up in the middle of the night, checked my email and some random ass claims from a video from maybe a year ago? I will have to look more at this tomorrow, but is anyone else getting claimed from Fullscreen Inc? pic.twitter.com/ydlwQetxLY

One of my videos ( Cuphead Part One ) was claimed copyright by “Fullscreen,Inc”. At first I was so surprised to see the claim because it was a gaming video which was streamed without using any other contents from any kind of sources.. I am a new gaming content creator and Idk

I already know the answer, but for the record, @TeamSalvato, does this “Fullscreen, Inc.” in any way own the rights to a particular scene in a vanilla #DDLC playthough/commentary that’s over a year old? pic.twitter.com/q8VsUoEQ8n
