Even still it's their product and their right to do with what they want with it. AJ has no rights to make money off of nintendo when he wants. He doesn't have to vlog about Nintendo games and in turn that doesn't severely dent Nintendo for him not paying attention. AJ has been showing LP's, little rants, big rants about the same old practices and of course movie reviews with movie rants, even trailer reviews and rants, so AJ pretty much does bring different rants to the table, but not really the kind that people want (especially if you look at the comments sections of some videos where people complain that he's deviating too far from his original shtick, which the vast majority of YT's tend to stick to). He could very well of course simply go outside and get an actual job like the vast majority of the world's population do these days and have for centuries. LP'ing for cash isn't really the norm or even considered an actual legitimate carereer. |
I think he's at peace with whatever direction his relationship with Nintendo goes. That meltdown was long ago. Even then he was right though. In an era where digital rights are moving closer in favor of the developer and consumers are losing more and more rights, streaming is at least one user right and free advertisement for the company. If Nintendo doesnt want to be in on it, then they aren't exactly needed. The majority of games that are streamed more freely are really from all other platforms but them. Im actually quite glad to see so many streams of this game, because this is definitely hyping even me up to get Zelda, regardless of whether the switch is a console for me. For Breath of the Wild, Twitch is where its at. This is also why I support donations, because gamers who make games look good and are talented/entertaining at playing should be paid. Nintendo can take as much ad revenue as they please from Youtube.
