I want to post some Mass Effect Gameplay onto my YouTube but I'm unsure of any "legal" issues i may encounter or if ME is alright with gameplay videos. So my question is am i allowed to post and monetize gameplay videos of Mass Effect Legendary Edition onto my YouTube? Any help i may get is highly appreciated!!!
I have been doing that using the included share function of the PS4 as well the Share Play app to edit my videos now, I always refer to them as being recorded footage:

DICE TeamHey @lane0420 as far I'm aware there shouldn't be any issue but with that said below a quick message from us.
A appreciates the passion that players have for our games, and we're always excited to see the creativity that comes from our community. EA does not object to fair uses of video footage or screenshots on video sharing sites, including YouTube channels that are commercialized, as long as the footage is a version of the game that we have released to the public.
We do reserve the right to address any inappropriate use of EA content. Additionally, because many EA games include content that is licensed from a third-party company or may otherwise have usage restrictions, paired with the large number of video-related questions we get from the community, we aren’t able to grant specific approvals or respond to all follow-up inquiries.

@draconiami did it too and i did not get any restrictions or reports about my uploads, i posted my gameplay on YT for the Legendary Edition some weeks ago. I did it because i wanted to share with everyone that wants to look at how i play the game i don't get anything from it, it was just for fun 🙂
EA is usually pretty good about online sharing. They're not Nintendo. 😉
