Then, if you're a member of an MCN (multi channel network), which a large number of Youtubers are, you lose another 10-40% (30% average). Then Nintendo takes another 60-70%. So, let's say your video of a Nintendo game makes $100 in ad revenue, after everybody else has had a piece of the pie, you get just $21 of that $100 according to TotalBiscuit, compared to $35 for a non-Nintendo game. So yeah, if you're a Youtuber, it's in your best interest to play games from pretty much any other publisher out there besides Nintendo. |
So they should be pissed at Youtube for taking 50% of their profit when they are generating trafic and content for them, not at Nintendo. I would love to see all IP holders to make the same and see if these guys could make success with anything else to validate the theory here that the games they show doesn't matter at all.
