Forgive my laziness in not reading 26 pages, but... I shall reiterate my stance on it for the sake of... contributing of sorts

"I mentioned on Twitter that I don't support the use of content without creative intent. If someone just posts videos of gameplay, then Nintendo has every right to shut that down.

The Fair Use act is there to encourage and protect creativity. If people are not doing anything creative with the work of others, then they are not doing any work, and hence should not make a penny."

Most youtubers is rather some youtubers & what they agree, is that their pocket won't be filled as much by using others IP.

Yes...I agree that youtubers who create Nintendo videos with content in it will diminish. Angry Joe announced that he was going to do Wii U reviews and his youtubers actually bought him a Wii U and I doubt he even wants to now that Nintendo flagged the videos for audio before he could even chop the videos up and edit them to make the video have come to expect from him.

I do credit pewdiepie for helping games like Amnesia get a lot of exposure on Youtube as well. Hes not the only reason because on Youtube Amnesia went viral, but him doing a lets play with his stupid little voice overs (LOL) helped.

Pewdiepie is annoying to me right now, but if I was in elementary or middle school I would actually sub him for sure. I am guessing thats his audience.

Is it strange? Do you want to work for a company that pays $11 an hour or a company that pays $7 an hour? It shouldn't be that hard right? Youtubers will make videos in which they make 60% of the revenue, not 43% with Nintendos.  They will just literally make every other gameplay video except Nintendos. I mean honestly I think these Youtubers only have good intent for Nintendo. Youtube let's plays increase sales and by Nintendo not allowing them just doesn't make sense in their eyes. Lets Plays is a win-win situation for both parties except Nintendo doesn't see it that way.

So you honestly don't believe people make let's plays for games they like, as a hobby? (Note: Hobbies can be profitable.) If I made let's play videos they would be about games that I enjoy and want to share with others, and I think the overwhelming majority of let's players do it for that. It might be the reason why they don't get huge number of views, but that wasn't what was said. Sure, said person might be irritated if they were making $50 a month on let's play videos and now they make $30 a month because Nintendo wants some of that money, but that doesn't mean their favorite game and the one which they have a passion to make a let's play for will change. 

Yes, and I wouldn't complain about any of the companies... but what we are talking here is people were slave and no one said a thing, but now that the landowner pays them 43% of the revenue instead of 60% people are upset???

The only strange thing is that you are just assuming that he (or other youtubers) didn't complain before.

But a quick and very easy research on your part is probably too much to ask for, especially if it destroys your argument:

Because that is & always has been the source of this situation!

Kids play Nintendo, when they become teenagers, they rebel, against their parents, establishment , school whatever, Nintendo is the games they played as kids so in order to step into what they think is adulthood, teens rebel against it too to prove they are grown ups, which proves to be exactly the opposite of what they are trying to achieve:

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms.   When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -C.S. Lewis

Even gamers that didn't play Nintendo games adopt this dogma, supporting in anyway Nintendo is being kiddie, uncool whatever pejorative adjective you may use. Kids want to emancipate from their parents & what they feel represents them as children, so they follow the available teenager trend they think will give them their desired status. They agregate to X herd or Y herd & adopt the codes of said herd, i.e. the overwhelming majority of PDP followers (mostly low teen kids) or Bieber followers.

That is why this has become a Nintendo hate, thread, Nintendo is always wrong & when someone as "famous" as PDP states it, they feel "righted" & hate will reach biblical levels.

Anyway, too much importance has been given to this matter. PDP already won, since he got the free publicity he wanted for his trending down channel!

He managed to get money out Nintendo without playing Nintendo, just by jumping aboard the hate train. It's not a very different tactic from these regular bait click anti-Nintendo "articles" that op-up every other week or so!

Just my 2 cent! I'm out...

& how much $$ do you make & you press the share button???

I believe he's speaking on behalf of the people who create videos primarily with Nintendo content. I havent seen very much from Nintendo from him. Almost all of the famous Youtube gamers have been grilling Nintendo about this since last year. Its only resurfaced again because Pewdiepie spoke and we all know when he speaks everything blows up.
