YouTube Gaming Channel Worth It? 2014?

I was wondering, with YouTube's new copyright system and other major changes, along with the growth of the gaming channel community, would it be even worth it to start a YouTube channel? I've been thinking about this for years now, and I want to take action. I specifically will mostly be doing Minecraft videos, but then again, that is a VERY popular subject now, and I don't know if I would get noticed.

You can always try.
New YT copyrights mostly mostly revolves around music industry (If there's music in your vid and you don't have permission to use it they can take it down or take all your ad revenue )

So as long as you play Minecraft don't use any copyrighted music you will be just fine.

Most definitely you can get partner with Fullscreen, TGN, YT Gamers and they will protect you from gaming copyright strike.
