Youtube+AdSense

[TheBBRcast]

Hi!

Is it possible to monetize Magicka lets play videos on youtube (AdSense)? I was searching for Terms of Use but couldn't find it... : / I did notice that TotalBiscuit and guys from Yogscast put adverts on their Magicka videos and I would like to know whether I could do the same.

Thanks for your reply!

Have a nice day

As I believe devs might be on holiday leave past new year, this might answer your question.

Being a Youtube partner means that you can have commercials before your videos and make money based on number of views. This does not fall under fair use, and Youtube requires proof that you have permission to use game footage. Send us a mail at PR@arrowheadgs.com and we will fix you up with a mail allowing you to use videos of Magicka.

There're a lot of points of view about this question. Some people are sure that only partnership is worth using, other are sure that adsense in way much better. It's hard to say, which ones' opinion is right, but personally I prefer Partnerhip http://youtube-networks.com/ after reading this article that shows how easily you can monetize you account. It means that I've read a lot of articles that highlighted all pros and cons, so I'm actually agree with guys who defend side of partnership. However, I can be wrong.
