Or how do you think Slenderman, Five Nights at Freddies, Amnesia or P.T. got as popular as they are/were? And can you give me any indicator that a Billboard on the street is selling games? I highly doubt you can.

A quick Google search reveals that at this point in time neither of the 3 companies you mentioned have a policy similar to Nintendos in place.


Well my flagged videos as do others say they do have similar policies.

Indicator of billboards selling games? How about sales of games for decades before YT was even a thing, how those games got popular? Gaming sites, word of mouth and forums added to it while being driven by a cult following.

The article just credits YT with no actual back up itself, I've seen videos of low selling games with massive views yet no change of situation at all indicating the videos are not much of a factor at all.
