Maybe because that was a) an obvious mistake on Sonys/Activisions part (the games they flagged were MAG and the original Black Ops FFS) and b) they actually did not do the same, Sony/Activision stopped the video from being monetized, Nintendo and Konami are taking the ad revenue for themselves.

Oh and....

People shouldn't monetize let's plays in the first place.

...yeah, because why should people be paid for their work, right? What an ignorant thing to say.

You call me ignorant? Good one.

Thejimquisition videos aren't monetized on youtube.

You do realize what an utterly pointless thing that is to say, right? That this is just a flimsy attempt at a defense? What does it fucking matter if Jim Sterling monetizes on Youtube or not, cause it doesn't change that Sony/Activision didn't try to take his ad revenue for themselves. It is even possible that Copyright claims like Konamis or Nintendos automatically activate the monetization on these videos even without creator consent, I'm not sure if that's the case though.


You're basically saying it's ok when Sony does it, but not Nintendo lol. It's the same bot that detects these kind of vids. But I guess it's only an honest mistake when Sony does it. ;)

Yeah I'm sorry, I guess that Nintendos known Youtube policies don't exist.

Have you ever worked in your life? Playing videogames while talking over it isn't work. It's not original content. Reviews, top 10s, discussions, analysations, etc. are original content (and thus work).

Oh I have worked, I'm just not so petty and jealous that I start judging something I've never done as not qualifying as work. That's really just completely ignorant.

Nintendo gave FREE download codes of Super Mario Maker to LET's PLAY only channels and you're saying this isn't an obvious mistake?

Again, you forgot about Nintendos policies I guess.
