Yeah but it was kinda shitty from the devs, because they explicitly (on their webpage) gave everyone permission to post gameplay videos, and then dropped the DMCA on pewdiepie because he said the n word in a different video.
Not defending pewdiepie, but the devs shouldn’t have proceeded that way. At least they should’ve asked him to take the playthrough down instead.

I agree with the premise of why the devs did it, but DMCA abuse is still DMCA abuse, and the letter of the law matters. They should have 100% found a different mechanism to make them pull the videos down.
