| S.T.A.G.E. said: First question: When the Nintendo partnership program started a lot of Youtubers expressed discomfort at what Nintendo was doing. Most who were core Nintendo's fans bit the bullet and those didn't care were free to ignore them and had no problem ignoring their product (which many people are doing to the Wii U right now). How appropo is it to explain the pride in the one who is doing the worst acting like they are doing the best. Joe was about to edit a bunch of videos he had saved on the Youtube database to be chopped up and eventually reviewed or (of for commentary) by the request of his community. He didn't have to do it. He was doing just fine before his fans got him the Wii U so he could do the job and give his opinion on the product. His review stands that he likes the Wii U was better than the Xbox One and PS4 in the amount of fun factor, but he's going to say the truth (which is why people listen to him) in that Nintendo are dicks. He should just succumb to their ad revenue sharing program because it is their product and they are extremely stingy. The law is the law. Nintendo is extremely ignorant albeit talented. Joe didn't even get to the reviewing process nor editing because Nintendo had it copyright flagged in no time at all. Second Question: I know those guys are Nintendo focused. If I had my way completely I would give those guys free copies though. They are two of the most vocal Youtube Gamers who would be open minded enough to work with Nintendo, but they will not tolerate Nintendos crap, which is why he's done with even trying. He'll play those games privately. Both PewDiePIe and Joe are both very avid PC gamers though and consoles are secondary for them. Their total views in a month dance circles around Nintendo. |
Q1: How stupid is it to store raw footage on Youtube? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT? Especially when you know of Nintendo's Youtube policies. Why not just download the video onto your computer, where you would actually do your editing. I find it extremely hard to believe that he didn't have the ability to do so after this happened or he didn't have a copy saved. And why would he have monitized the videos and made them public if he was simply storing them for editing. If he answered these questions in a video, then please explain to me, because this whole thing just makes no sense.
Q2: Why should Nintendo do anything to specifically target them? As I said, they have worked with a number of youtubers in a number of ways, I don't see why these two Youtubers should be the end all be all of anything. My point is that Nintendo has done a good deal of work with Youtubers, and it is extremely ignorant to act like they do absolutely nothing but remove videos from the site...
