Helldivers 2 Fan Film Pulled From YouTube as Creators Blame Automated Flag

The creators attribute the takedown to an automated YouTube flag over a free download link.

Overview

  • The original For Liberty upload was removed shortly after release and remains offline as the appeal proceeds.
  • Plot Coalition says there is no confirmation of Sony involvement, adds Arrowhead was not responsible, and says it is in contact with YouTube.
  • The team included a free download and a version prepared for dubbing, which they believe triggered YouTube’s automated systems.
  • Coverage noted rapid traction for the short, with one report citing more than 450,000 views within two days.
  • The volunteer-made project took about 15 months with no AI used, and separate reporting says Sony is developing an official Helldivers 2 movie with Justin Lin attached.
