Xbox One to get the new YouTube app

No, I had already removed the YouTube app from my various mobile devices except for Android in which the YouTube app can't be removed since it is part of Google. The reason for that still regarded the content ID disaster I already ranted at although my YouTube account isn't affected by that mess. Hell, I even posted a bunch of gameplay videos of various licensed games I have played but you should check the recent gameplay videos of licensed games of mine since I had owned that game on my Android from Play Store and it is free. It is pretty much legal based on the conditions:
  1. The gameplay video of the licensed game based on whatever content.
  2. The copyrighted content in the licensed game mustn't be too clean or the company may think that you may have posted the video with the content taken from somewhere else.
For number 2, the content in the game may be exactly the same or not. What makes it exactly the same though is like, okay, the content is the intro of the licensed game that is exactly 100% the same intro of whatever animated movie for instance. This may include the music, the intro animation with the same-god damn title of the animated movie, not the game title, and other stuffs that are the same with no modification whatsoever.
And while Sony may seem to be doing right even before and after Gamescom, it appears that there may be more entertainment apps and services coming to Xbox One which may continue to break the purpose of the modern game console. The game console when promoted should contain a bunch of games in action as part of the events, not any other bullshit which has nothing to do with gaming whatsoever. Playstation for Android was already ditched but the inaccurate thing from Sony was that they forgot to show off more Playstation Vita games in the event in addition to showing off a bunch of PS3 and PS4 games. It might be a shame that the Playstation Vita isn't that popular in the west and even the Eastern games released in the west don't seem to be appreciated of. I know that those games released there are not gonna be accepted by the western gamers in which they think that Sony is lazy, messing around or something unless those gamers happen to be the fans of whatever contents they like.
So, the new YouTube app will bring you the new experience with the TV-like interface for Smart TVs, Set-Top Boxes but game consoles, what the hell? If video capture without the need of the video capture card and YouTube are the combined reasons for today's game consoles, so be it. There's already Twitch.tv feature for both PS4 and Xbox One and they feature their own video capture feature so that there's no reason for you to get the video capture device.
