I did some digging in the page history (the main trope page of Game-Breaking Bug, since the Crysis entry in question was originally there before it was split to a subpage), and the first time the entry appeared in the page history was in 2012. Tat's Top Video on Top 25 Game Breaking Glitches was published in 2014. Unless it was originally uploaded much earlier and had to be reuploaded for some reason, it looks like he copied us, not the other way around.

My money is on it either being a reupload or the person who wrote the entry being the very same as someone who wrote the video’s script as Tats isn’t likely to be a plagiarist. However there are many other entries on other games with word-for-word or near word-for-word plagiarism. I’ll post a comment on the video since Tats is very active when responding to comments. Since the video is old and made by a team it may be possible that the video was plagerized from the site by the person who wrote the script.

I haven't seen the video nor am I familiar with the entries in question, so unless you say what those entries are there's not much anyone can do about them. I'd recommend copying the text of the problem entries on the copy-paste cleanup thread so that people can help investigate when they were posted and who did so.

Update: It is impossible for the video to predate the matching entries since some of the games featured in the video came out after 2012.
