Maybe they're getting a free pass because people keep saying that it's a step in the right direction. How is it a step in the right direction if the very first step is followed by massive backlash? One might think that if people hate the direction that you're going you better do a 180 and run in that direction instead. It worked for Microsoft. |
What Nintendo did is not wrong tho. Its 100% correct. So why do a 180°? Sony and Microsoft and everyone else should do the exact same thing.
Youtubers are NOT entitled to get any money at all unless they offer 100% own content.
I mean do you see youtubers complain about Youtube getting a share of their profit? I dont.
if a mosquito bites you and you want to get rid of it its certainly not amused.
Parasites complaining about not being able to be parasites is nothing I would call unexpected. The massive backlash came mostly from people that care more about their own wallet than about Nintendo. So there is no reason for them to "fake their sympathy with Nintendo" to begin with. The real fans started doing this as the pioneers of streaming etc. without the "ill make $$$ with this muahahah" mentality. Those are the real fans.
Dont get me wrong this here is not a PRO Nintendo reply. Its a ANTI parasite reply.
My opinion also applies to people playing MS or Sony games or whatever.
I cant go and stream e.g the movie Gravity while pausing. talking over it. rewinding. etc. Playing a game is nothing else than presenting it. In a movie its 95% linear with the option to show developer commentary or second camera angles or a different language or subtitles etc. A game gives you more freedom yes but its still always showing what the developers created.
Lets say you are in Germany and you visit a restaurant. The restaurant has to pay the MUSICIAN/LABEL a fee so the restaurant is allowed to play music for its customers. The restaurant uses the music to get more customers so it has to pay the creators of the music.
Youtubers do nothing else.
The people that say "its free marketing" also dont know what they are talking about.
Lets say today is 2015 today is the first day DumbiePie starts playing games to upload his "hard work" to youtube. How will people find the guy? Because they "google" DumbiePie? or because they google Mario?
They will see a "DumbiePie plays Mario" and the reason for them to watch it is Mario. (same reason Sony used Smash Bros as TAG in their PSASBR youtube videos. So people can actually stumble upon the stuff by accident.)
Just thanks to the games people started to become famous to begin with. And now instead of giving back they just refuse to share their profit. Because they feel entitled to it.
Seriously some people on youtube that review items or play games get the games FOR FREE! Today i just watched some ..... Wilson guy unbox his New Nintendo 3DS Majoras Mask edition he got for free and he also got a physical copy of the game etc. Yet I see no "Nintendo is so awesome they give away free stuff" threads. Btw the guy also has to give Nintendo some money..:
Some youtubers are little kids
others are adults that understand what fairness is and how business works.
