It's not just PewDiePie who has spoken out against it, TotalBiscuit, Boogie, Jim Sterling, Inside Gaming, and alot of other Youtubers have spoken out against it as well. Youtubers and Twitch streamers give games free advertising, it has been proven time and again that having Youtubers and twitch streamers play your games increases their sales significantly, perhaps even more so than paid tv advertising does. Nintendo, instead of thanking Youtubers for the free advertising they give their games, is basically being greedy and saying they want a piece of the Youtube money pie. Nintendo is pretty much the only game publisher who is pulling this kind of stuff nowadays, their Youtube policy is archaic. |
Why haven't we heard any Nintendo centric channel scream in outrage then? Easy, because they don't care how much they make. And all of those channels barely even cover Nintendo!
