Kotaku's coverage includes a video by Youtuber PrestigeIsKey in which he discusses how the age restrictions are affecting his ability to make money as a Call of Duty content creator. "At first," he said, "I thought this wouldn't affect gamers because, obviously, video games aren't real.You see a lot of those ads, not necessarily because the creators swear by that product, but because G-fuel is heavily advertising towards the audience of that creator. Youtubers discussing the latest Call of Duty have become financially gutted even though the game has only really been a thing for a week now. Because if they do feature the game, well, they lose a lot of money because of those age restrictions. Because of those changes, many advertisers have been pulling away from Youtube because of those age restrictions that limit content that is deemed "inappropriate for advertising."Īs Kotaku reports, this has hit the Call of Duty community harder than others because with a WWII theme, and being a first-person shooter, COD: WWII is just not something that Youtubers in the community feel willing to talk about. Granted, most of this has to do with Youtube's own subscription and age restriction changes, but it has hit the COD community particularly hard.
Activision and Treyarch's 2017 addition to the massive Call of Duty franchise has barely managed to get itself officially announced and already Youtubers are claiming they won't be able to make any money off the game.
