That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I think that twitch streaming is boring too, but the fact that twitch even exists proves that that isn't the case for enough people to make it worth investing in.

So stupid.

Yeah why do millions of people watch football when they themselves could be playing it? Why watch a bunch a dudes chase each other with a ball? I'm sure that one probably boggles Nintendo's mind.

If people enjoy watching others playing a game, then that's great for them. Just slap the Twitch app on your console and let people commentate their games through the Wii U pad if they choose to do so. Just let people enjoy themselves however they like rather than trying to dictate how they should be enjoying themselves. This really isn't too hard to understand. It's like Nintendo takes one step forward and then two steps back into obscurity.

Who said no commentary?

Implied by 'gameplay by itself'.

I hate Nintendo, but they're right. Never understood why people bother to stream games. I stream my games only when I do something worth for people to see. You know something amazing. People are just streaming their shit out of the trend, but I don't think a lot of the things they stream is worth to watch.

Thank you Nintendo.

That's not sarcasm. Watching regular ass strangers play games on twitch is one of the most useless things in the world. 99% of the people are just watching the tits in a tight shirt down in the bottom corner. Stop kidding yourself, go wank it to some porn, and get on with your life.

there excuse is a just them saying we don't want people watching our games, go out and buy them, because as we all know, there's a huge audience for just watching people play games.

Sounds like Nintendo doesn't want anyone posting footage of their games without their express consent... and a hand in how it's presented.

They're being too controlling. But they're also just being Nintendo.

The fact Twitch exists means some enjoy it. Nintendo shouldnt be deciding whats fun. Fact is many use it and would like it.

I think most of the people who anyone would actually care to watch have their own ways to capture video that doesn't require it to stream directly from the console...

Either way, I think pretty much everyone knew that the Wii U wasn't going to get a streaming service and I don't think most people really care.
