Weekend Warrior, a Twitter user, shed further light on the situation, revealing that Bethesda’s bot was the cause of the mishap. Although successful in removing unauthorized game footage, the bot also caused an unexpected side-effect of blocking the game’s official Twitter account. Subsequent investigation revealed that Bethesda had been targeting leaked footage of the game on Twitter, and had implemented a bot to detect and report any Redfall-related content. The text on the banner stated that the image had been “removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.” This incident came to light when Twitter user PMS Jordan shared a screenshot of Redfall’s Twitter account, revealing a blocked banner photo. In a rather droll twist of fate, Bethesda has made an unwitting error by erroneously copyright-striking Redfall’s official Twitter account, just a day prior to the highly anticipated game’s release.
