I won't judge If AJ is right or not. But it is really insane how many people are defending Nintendo for being straight out greedy. Seriously, those folks are like Apple fans, their holy Company can do no wrong and don't you even dare to say something negative about them.

They have no reason to do this, it only hurts their reputation. It's an anti-Gamer policy, simple as that.

Omfg! 

It is their damn right to be greedy. Along with any other game maker/publisher. Nintendo is NOT the onlly ones doing this, they are however giving an avenue for people that regularly make Nintendo oriented videos to continue to do what they are doing while making it mutually beneficial. 

It is the right of any IP holder or artist to do what they want wwith their work. Some artists will try to use youtube to get their name out there, usually under their own control especially now days, and others will stop usage outside of their own posts. 

Almost every big publisher has instated rules and regulations regarding youtube or is in the process of doing so. 

Youtubers have been allowed for a long time to benefit off other people's work and in some cases become millionairs due to this practice. If it were my IP or art I would want the same. Manny of these youtubers would have little to no content, and viewers/followers, without the IP's from many of these big companies. 

Almost any music,video or game related content will be flagged if they do not have the rights to use it as iit iis not theirs. 

Read the warnings on videos or music or games about usage policies about copying, distribution in full or part. It's an unacceptable practice. 

Sorry for the long quote, I'm on my iPhone.

and as far as I know, Nintendo are indeed the only ones doing this in gaming. I don't care about Music or Movies, That's another story. That's just copying stuff, it's not interactive. But with games, you can create totally new stuff. I mean, just look at Minecraft for crying out loud!

I even heard of publishers who give Youtubers money or free games for Lets Plays, at least Paradox did so. So unless I'm missing completely something, Nintendo is all alone on this. Oh, and about the law: should we just accept anything that is Within the law without criticising it? What about shitty DLC, Pay 2 Win or Day 1 DLC? It's the publishers Right to do stuff like that, it's perfectly legal. So why are people complaining?
