YouTube has muted The Game Awards due to a copyright claim

The Game Awards aired last night, and you can watch the video-on-demand on YouTube right now … but you cannot hear it.

Google’s video site has muted the entire The Game Awards show due to a copyright claim. This means you can see the video from the show, but it currently does not contain one blip of audio. This action comes despite the video ranking at No. 3 on YouTube’s trending chart. Geoff Keighley, the producer of The Game Awards, is also a close partner of YouTube’s gaming efforts, which suggests no one is safe from the Google entity’s strict copyright-enforcement policies.
