I think the people in this thread are focusing too much on Pewdiepie. The actual point of this stretches across all youtube LPers and reviewers. Hell, even the article's author thinks it's a stupid idea^^

Most people think it's a stupid idea, but it is a step in the right direction. 2 years ago it was much worse. It's a good start and they will hopefully  soon see that youtube isn't a bad thing for them.

Square Enix also doesn't like people who upload gameplay of their games btw. They have been claiming videos for quite some time too.

How is taking such an aggressive step in the wrong direction a step forward? There was nothing before that program except Nintendo cracking down on some vids. The right direction would be doing less of what they're doing and not more. Or do you think they're now less aggressive towards youtubers who refuse the deal?

And I don't think we need many more examples of why SE is fucking stupid.

Would you rather have no video at all, or some videos (with Nintendo getting 40% of the revenue.) Remember, they're only still going to crack down on some videos now, particularly the ones making lots of revenue. And instead of removing them entirely, they're going to let them stay but demand part of the profit.
