At the expense of the youtuber's integrity. If what Jim and boogie are saying is true and I trust them both, the control of the youtuber's content (the Nintendo content only) is a load of bullshit. Give me liberty or givee death. If it was any other company, there would be riots. This is not a step in the direction, not in the least. Nintendo, who suffers the most from bad or lack of marketing and exposure, is essentially shooting themselves in the foot. |
You do realize that the people this is targeting aren't reviewers but rather "Lets Players" who show off the entire game without the consent of Nintendo or really anyone. Yes, if its a review/journalism, it shouldn't be allowed but I highly doubt they get affected by this that much anyway...
And it is certainly a step in the right direction cause they are now open to let people have a portion of the adrev rather than none... That doesn't mean that people should sign up for it if they don't like it but it with without a doubt a step in the right direction because they are open to the idea of letting people make money off of their games.
And I highly doubt that youtube/lets players affects the sales of AAA titles that aren't multiplayer/esports centric to a significant degree.
