I don't watch Youtube at all, but I never got the point of letting gamers make millions using other people's products to make commentary and reactions on them. Look at it this way, shouldn't a movie company get money where ever a channel on T.V plays their film? It's the same thing in this case. They're getting ad money by entertaining people with someone else's copyrighted product. I think Nintendo did a good job, and I honestly wished other game devs made a similar policy. This is only a bad move because Nintendo is now losing a lot of advertising, but they're partner share program is fair imo besides the fact that your channel can only play nintenod games...
Also lol@ letting people making millions by playing video games and stream, and worst is letting them take all the proceeds themselves.. |
Problem with all this is the legal hole that hasn't been decided, yet. Are LP's fair use or not? Most people say yes. Because it's a review, in the general sense of someone watching someone play, and getting an impression of what the game is about. This will give them a deciding factor in buying it or not. Take this.
I recently have been watching a twitch streamer do Resident Evil month. It convinced me to buy the orignal release of RE1 DC. When I didn't want to bother. I have REmake on GC. Eventually, he will reach RE 5 and 6. Which I skipped. Due to all the hate. If I see him play it, I like it. Than he made capcom two sales.
But the other side, what Nintendo does is, it's not. There for, doesn't fall under this. I hope someone finally brings this to a court, and we get a definative answer.
