It works fine here, can you watch the video on the browser?. If so, please run youtube-dl --verbose http://www.gamespot.com/videos/wow-warlords-of-draenor-cinematic-and-street-date-/2300-6420659/ --write-pages and upload the *.dump files somewhere (like Gist), so that we can debug the problem.

Yes, know it's working ... I tried it shortly after end of the stream event. I think they had something activated to prevent downloading shortly after the event ;(
