From the comments, it sounds like Vimeo should think about opening a sister site dedicated to _only_ game-based videos. The masses love their quality and usability. Why not?
- jfarmer 18y agoThis is the correct solution if "gamer videos" don't fit in with their idea of Vimeo but they want to keep those users. But maybe they really just don't want to be associated with "gamer videos" at all.
- ricree 18y agoThe three reasons the article gave for dropping gaming videos were that they were outside the main focus of the site, exposed the company to unwanted liability, and were consistently larger and more resource intensive than other videos. Hosting a separate site for game videos would only address the first concern, and doesn't really do much for the others.
- llimllib 18y agoIt could help the third as well if they would either slightly lower the quality to improve transcoding times and/or simply make it OK to have longer transcoding times. Agreed on the liability end though, if that's the main driver here there's not much they can do.
