Comments on: Vimeo bans video game clips for lack of 'creative expression'

Looking to host your video game clips on Vimeo? Too bad, since they just dropped the banhammer on your Pac-Man high score clip.

The videos that are being taken down aren't merely footage of someone playing a game....months and months and many many of hours of editing go into making full team videos and they have a lot more "creative expression" than footage one of the staff upload of two squirrels having sex.

They're being ridiculous and the EA Skate. community is reacting thusly:

Wow, maybe the people should ban Vimeo all together and STOP buying their products? Seems fair.
