I would swear that "lets plays" and "speedruns" if anything just help promote games and their sales rise because of it.
I dont see how this helps nintendo in anyway, its a loss of free PR.

Its like pewdiepie playing a game, you know thats going to help sales.
It makes no sense to stop a guy like him from doing a "lets play".

Plus this stuff comes off really "anti-gamer friendly", which is not a good thing for a console maker.

Nintendo are killing their own brand with this stuff.

Except Pewdipie actually played Super Mario 64 on an emulator.
