I love Nintendo for their games but i hate them for their weird policy. That's why their market is shrinking, and their name isn't big anymore. i have a complicated feeling with this company and in fact most gaming veteran who grew up with Nintendo and turn their loyalty to other company.

It's within their right but it's a stupid move. They should be winning people back not alienating them.

Surely you can see the issue in comparing gaming to linear forms of entertainment? ^^; If the gaming experience was so easily replicated through simply watching/listening, we'd have seen developers and publishers follow in the footsteps of the movie industry. 

Seeing as that's yet to happen, i'd say it's safe to assume that while the benefits youtubers provide are debatable, the majority of the industry doesn't appear to see it as a threat (and in-fact frequently embraces it).

I didn't say anything about Nintendo not having legal right. I said it doesn't make sense for them to do so. Even they know it. The initial call was complete ban of let's plays and streaming. Then it went down to 100% profit taking, now it's down to 40% profit taking.

Of course, Nintendo agrees with everyone who is supporting their argument in this thread right? Because backtracking on your intention is always a sign that you're confident in what you're doing.

If Nintendo really gave zero shits about these content creators, or if they actually thought that there was no beneficial outcome, they would block them entirely. Or maybe, they thought entire blocking was a little harmful, so they switched to 100% profit....and then they found that was undermining as well, and changed again. Seems to me that Nintendo is backing down. But apparently, there is no actual source of pressure because these guys are nobodies, wait wait no, crybabies...right?

dont care about most youtubers. I enjoy playing my games, not watching people playing them. If every penny nintendo gets goes towards star fox, Fzero, metroid or the next Bayo, then by all means take that 40% all you want!!

He just doesn't want to pay Nintendo. When he played the original Super Smash Bros, he didn't download it on his Wii U. He downloaded a ROM illegally off the internet. The only Wii U game he has, ZombiU, is far from finished. He just doesn't care about Nintendo.

even with low sales of Wii U, Nintendo is far more profitable then what most people think, it's not about how this will affecting their buget to make a good games. They can make the games with their current profit they had.

Pewdiepie is just the catalyst for most people who are not agreeing with this policy. maybe the OP mentioned Pewdiepie name but the main focus of the topic is "Nintendo Youtube Policy ". and the controversy

Hmmm, maybe I should have just added this to this thread, lol...

Why haven't we heard any Nintendo centric channel scream in outrage then? Easy, because they don't care how much they make. And all of those channels barely even cover Nintendo!
