Back 4 Blood streamers are risking Twitch bans just by playing the game Turtle Rock StudiosThe upcoming first-person shooter, Back 4 Blood features copyrighted music on its soundtrack, which means it could be a risk to stream online. Back 4 Blood is a new multiplayer zombie shooter from Turtle Rock studios set to come out in full on October 12. But before the actual release, devs let fans know about a potential issue with the game \u2014 its music. As we\u2019ve seen throughout 2021 streamers and Twitch have had to wrangle with the playing of copyrighted music on stream. Progress has been made on the issue in recent weeks, but there\u2019s still the risk of being banned if you play the wrong music. On October 7, Turtle Rock warned streamers they should turn the music down if they plan on streaming Back 4 Blood, to not risk a ban. Attention creators! If you\u2019re streaming or planning #Back4Blood VOD content, this is important: The jukebox has licensed music that will play when used. We do not own the streaming rights for the songs that play so be sure to turn your music off when interacting with the jukebox.\u2014 Alissa (@MissAlissaBarry) October 7, 2021 \u201cAttention creators! If you\u2019re streaming or planning #Back4Blood VOD content, this is important: The jukebox has licensed music that will play when used,\u201d Barry tweeted. \u201cWe do not own the streaming rights for the songs that play so be sure to turn your music off when interacting with the jukebox.\u201d The good news is that the jukebox isn\u2019t the only option in the game to listen to music with, but the fact that streamers could get banned from music that\u2019s already included in the game seemed to rub some people the wrong way. \u201cIf you can\u2019t get streaming rights, then don\u2019t use the damn music in your game!\u201d one user replied. This was a common complaint, but others pointed out that the majority of people who play games aren\u2019t streaming them. However, devs were the ones who pointed the issue out in the first place, so it\u2019s fitting that they seem to have a fix on the way already as well. Replying to another user who was wondering if a \u201cstream safe\u201d mute option would be added to the game, Barry confirmed devs were indeed working on one. Whether it\u2019s available by the time Back 4 Blood launches on October 12 remains to be seen, but if devs are already tweeting about it, there\u2019s a good chance it could be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
