Youre completly missing the point where free publicity is free. If I come up to you and  say here have 100 bucks, would you have any reaosn to say no ? Nintendo dont need it but theres no reason to actively deny it either its stupid and generate bad publicity instead, wich wont kill Nintendo either but is also not the best idea.

 

I'm not missing anything. I already addressed that. The publicity is fleeting, and what they gain long term is a way to literally make money off of other people advertizing for them, as opposed to the "free advertizing" they'd get otherwise. That is their reason to say no.

You actually can't make that claim anymore than people saying it's giving them lots of free publicity. The data isn't in the public domain. The fact that other publishers have decided to leave youtuber alone suggests that other publishers internal marketing data has suggested leaving them to their own devices is better than trying to regulate them.

The money Nintendo make from this is likely to be a drop in the ocean for their bottom line. Especially if it leads to less youtubers supporting Nintendo content. I honestly think this is more likely a ploy to protect their IP rather than to seriously make money.
