| Ouroboros24 said: Telling the truth and having opinion are two different things. What nintendo is doing is not illegal, just restrictive. I get it, you want Youtube to be the wild west, with everyone and everything up for grabs, a lot of people want that and it's cool. But the thing is, there is real money now. If people really wanted to post their opinions and reviews about certain games, do it without monetary compensation, start a blog, go to gametrailers or IGN and make money legitamately. Do you have an opinion and want to make money off of it, go to journalism school, go to film school, go to and pick a field where what you say is isn't some random fan opinion, speak from authority. Yeah, Nintendo is censoring these people, but the thing is, Youtube is not the soap box you should be speaking out of. That's why they are professionals who work at IGN, who were at Gametrailer, game spot, etc and they actually deserve the money. |
Why would IGN be legit doing a Nintendo video and a guy on YouTube wouldn't? Equal rights. Nobody wants a wild west on YouTube, that's why it has rules and bans guys that violate copyright. But Nintendo is threatening guys that simply are using their content under fair use rights.
I'm sick of this thread and people defending this kind of behavior. To put it simple, the other 2 let people do this and they even put a native DVR in the consoles to make it even easier: just one button press to share a video or stream it. They are embracing their communities, not trying to shut down it. What Nintendo will get? A lot of YouTubers will stop making Nintendo videos and will keep doing PS/XB/PC gameplays. They are important nowadays. If I'm planning to by a game, I will se a let's play. It's the best way to know if it's good or not without relying in the currently imprecise critics opinion.
This is 90s mindset. This is the exactly mindset that puts them in the fragile position they are today.
