Here’s a link to the Science and Tech one. Probably the best you are going to get, though the old game videos were all reclassified as entertainment…..

Why did they have to let it go?

Makes no sense why a popular category shouldn’t have its own section on YouTube. My only guess as to why it was moved is probably because of bandwidth; likely the same reason the sub-forums were moved around here at NSider2. Saving up bandwidth is a good thing, too; hundreds of videos get posted on YouTube every day. Still, this conglomeration of Gadgets & Games with Entertainment doesn’t affect me. I rarely ever use the category function to look for my video games, anyway. I just key the name of the video game in the Search bar.

I did a bit more searching, there is a new ‘Science & Technology’ category, but it doesn’t show up on the search yet. There used to be a category specifically for ‘Video Games’, but it was removed earlier this year.

Seriously, YouTube needs to bring those categories back.

This sucks, now I can’t look at the top rated video game vids daily. Oh well, less Youtube for me I guess now.

However you want to put it, it’s a shame they are doing away with the games category, and entertainment? WTF is YouTube thinking? I don’t want my Mario Galaxy videos mixed up with Britney.
