Key information
French streamer j0nathan reported that his YouTube channel was terminated after he uploaded gameplay of the horror survival action title Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival. According to reports from IGN, the platform cited the content as being explicitly intended for sexual gratification.
Released on October 8 for Windows, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, the game is based on the Hellraiser film franchise. It features mature themes including violence, gore, torture, and BDSM. As of October 10, the game holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam with 1,720 reviews.
The streamer believes the termination stemmed from an opening scene involving the protagonist and his girlfriend. j0nathan stated he edited the video to obscure explicit content and did not apply age restrictions, viewing the remainder of the gameplay as standard horror. He expressed frustration, noting that his channel, which had a significant subscriber count, was lost due to what he suspects was an automated AI decision.
Saber Interactive advises creators to utilize appropriate age ratings and platform tools when streaming the title. j0nathan has publicly criticized the inconsistency of the enforcement, noting that other unedited streams remain available on the platform.
