Microsoft has updated its Game Content Usage Rules page to explain how people can use its game content to create YouTube videos and Twitch Streams, but the new rules don't apply to Minecraft, which Microsoft acquired last year for $2.5 billion.
The new policy states that Microsoft allows users to create derivative works based on its games strictly for personal, noncommercial use, as long as they follow a set of rules. Some of these rules prohibit users from reverse engineering games to "access the assets or otherwise do things that the games don't normally permit," or creating content that is "pornographic, lewd, obscene, vulgar, discriminatory (on the basis of race, religion, gender, s*xual orientation, etc.), illegal, hate speech, promoting violence, drug use or any illegal activity, promoting crimes against humanity, genocide or torture, or is otherwise objectionable."
