Gaming content is rarely illegal. If it has any form of commentary or is used for review purposes, then it falls under fair use. The problem with fair use is that it cant be argued unless you're in a court of law.

all cutscenes are not fair use, its the main issue with most gaming
 
There have been lots of these incidents with gaming on YouTube trough years and youtube never died... Gameplays nowadays is the best get to get views for youtube, and even the bigger youtuber is a gamer.

This will end soon I am sure, and in some months there will be an incident again.. it's the eternal fight of the gameplayer.

anyway, I'm not saying that it doesn't affect youtubers, because it does, but in some time it will be over, it's not so bad!

Quick items of note.

Game related video content being illegal has never been tested in court regardless of whether a cutscene is present or not. Fair use defense just hasn't had a chance to be proven correct though in a lot of cases it likely would, which is why it's never been tested in court. Once a court case loses, the companies have less power. Cutscenes as a part of a larger presentation would fall under fair use just like the rest of the content. The issue with cutscenes is that they are the same every time which allows ContentID to work. This is also why gameplay doesn't get a ContentID flag because ContendID matches exact content to a source video and can't identify a game by it's art style or anything like that.

ContentID claims aren't a deathknell unless they're taking monetization or followed up with a copyright strike. Remember that ContentID is just there to establish ownership. The problem comes when the ContentID settings are such that monetization goes to the company or the channel gets punished as a result. Simply getting flagged is neither of those necessarily.
