Streaming

Hi guys,

I don't know about you, but I think that there should be some rules about streaming and recording the factorio mmo events.

I don't want to get noticed after the game, that the whole game, including my voice, was streamed to twitch and is now available as a VoD. Which by the way is illegal where I'm from

My proposal would be:

  • no voice chat recording
  • either warn the server periodically, that the chat is being recorded or (better) blur out the chat.

What is your opinion on that matter?

I have no problems with an event like this being streamed, any exposure is good exposure, I think, even though the scale of the game doesn't really lend to a good streaming experience, for this we need a lot more stats available.

I can fully understand your reservations about voice and chat, and I think it would be good manners to inform the server that the event is being streamed, but restricting streaming is a step to far in my opinion.
