Either way, him complaining about Nintendo is not good for them considering how large his fanbase is.

So what are you saying? That he commands over Nintendo???


Pewdiepie isnt the only one talking about the Nintendo situation. Mr.Repzion, Angry Joe and some other popular Youtubers have given their opinion of Nintendos decisions as well.

Don't kid yourself, it's always about money with Youtubers.

 


I don't get it? Can you not read? He doesn't play Nintendo games so this plan doesn't effect him, he's just saying what he thinks about the plan. Now for other youtubers it is about the money because for some Youtube it is their JOB. 

Also, I don't get what the picture has to do with what I said? He was playing a game and he enjoyed it. Was that wrong of him to enjoy playing a game? They took that quote out of him playing a game for the first time. I've seen 100s of videos of people playing games for the first time and say that they enjoyed it. It was his first impression of the game and he enjoyed it, ooooo.

It also seems like you don't understand what Nintendos plan says. There is an option available where you can get 100% of the revenue(of course youtube takes its cut first) but ONLY if Nintendo approves the video. So basically if you don't say good things about Nintendos videos then they will not extempt the video and you will not get the 100% revenue. So some people will only say good things about Nintendo videos so they get the 100%. 


Exactly, since his money come from people who are not in there for Nintendo vids, him bashing Nintendo will please his minions, give him free publicity as it looks like so far & rack him even more $$.

I'm just going to point out a glaring fact, that I have no clue if it was suggested...

No one owns the games they play, not even PewDiePie. You owna license to play the game. The share that Nintendo takes is normal for what networks take. I really have no idea what people are complaining about. Sounds pretty routine and legal to me. Also Microsoft did lay out guidelines to how their games can be monetised

He certainly has influence on millions of peoples minds. He's essentially the Walmart of Youtube so he has weight to throw around.

Itt: people who dont get that lets play is a community of thousands with hundreds of millions of hits a year.

Stop focusing on pewdiepie.

Because people aren't going to buy games they're interested in because PewDiePie tells them to (which he isn't anyway.)

I would like to point out that your point is very weak here, because number of subscribers mean very little. 

pewdiepie may have over 30m subscribers, but his videos average way less than 30m views each.  They average less than 10m each.  Many of his videos are under 5m in the view mark, and those are generally his more recent videos as well.  The majority of his videos with the most amount of views are from 1 year ago or longer. 

Also, the Playstation youtube account only has 1/10th the amount of subscribers pewdiepie has.  How much does that mean, given that Sony is pretty much leading this gen home console sales?  

What I'm saying is that pewdiepie's influence is not THAT big for companies like Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.  He definitely could have an effect, but it's easily debateable on how much it really is.

edit: I should also point out here, to strengthen what I've been saying, is that the subscriber-to-viewer count for pewdiepie is worse than many others who have 3-5m subscribers.


PewDiePie has numerous subcategories, dude. The views are split among all of those. Regardless he  tramples over Nintendo in views, so theres is definitely nothing weak about what I am saying. Its Nintendos influence on Youtube that is more questionable than his.

However, you're confirming the fact that not everyone watches every video of pewdiepies.  People will skip what they don't want to watch.  So 30m people are NOT going to all watch pewdiepie play a game for the Wii U.  In reality, it would likely be somewhere between 2-6m people.  That is NOT more than the amount of people who own Wii U's.  And out of those viewers, how many of them will buy a Wii U and/or the Nintendo game in question because they saw pewdiepie play it?  I imagine that the answer is likely to be insignificant if it's a Mario game, Zelda game, or any of the other major Nintendo IPs that Nintendo generally has been blocking.

Nintendo's own channel is irrelevant because how many subscribers they have is not a reflection of how many people care about Nintendo products.

So what? He isn't allowed to have an opinion? He isn't allowed to say anything bad about Nintendo? What a joke. From what I'm seeing is most youtubers agree that this plan is just stupid.

Stop focusing on pewdiepie.

And the overwhelming majority don't do it as a business. They do it for fun. We are focusing on the subset of let's players who make it their main source of income. PewDiePie just so happens to be one of a small group of said let's players.
