>people say Nintendo is a good company


lol

That only applies to videos that make money though, right? So as long as you aren't profiting from the video, it's fair use.

Not necessarily. YouTube is a business, and as you know, they can run it how they want. You do have every right to post whatever you want under fair use laws--on your own website. But YouTube is notorious for blowing out innocuous videos for... nothing more than having five seconds of a copyrighted song in the background or for wearing a small logo on a shirt. So yeah, videos entirely comprised of game footage aren't going to be very safe regardless of if they're monetized. It's a shitty situation, but it's been a part of TheirTube for years.

Indeed it has been. But its also very stupid that Nintendo continues to be the bigger black sheep when it comes to Game Vids, and not realize that this helps their sales. Nearly ALL other pubs and devs see this and they endorse and praise it.

I don't understand nintendos logic. The first thing I do when I start taking interest in a game I don't know much about us watch YouTube reviews or commentaries of it... If it looks good or people I trust to review shit say it's good, I'll buy it. it's free advertising

I'm referring to Nintendo's cut. I mean, if you're not generating revenue, you don't pay anything. 70% of 0 is 0.

And Nintendo is just doing what a few (much smaller examples) have done. I'm not saying it's good, because it isn't, but part of me doubts you'll be sued for not giving Captain Toad a lot of positivity in your Let's Play.

god dammit.

Yeah, definitely not. Bacon was a little dramatic there.

At worst, I'd imagine they wouldn't allow... I don't know, outright mockeries, or... maybe if you're swearing too much, they won't approve of your video. They probably won't even go that far.

They try this shit every year. Those retards fail to realize lets plays help sell games. By doing something that decreases the amount of people doing videos on your games that affects the sells of whatever game they were going to to. It might not be much but it's still a decent amount of people. For example the only reason why I found out about and bought FTL was because of Nerd 3 doing videos about it.

Same here. Now when I'm thinking of getting a game unless it's something I seen before I go onto YouTube to look of gameplay for it.

Even if they're fairly good with criticism, it also sets a precedent for other games developers to see one of the biggest games companies in the world doing something, and decide to do it themselves.



They don't really have any video you need to watch, but I'd recommend listening to them. Or at least the first one, there's been a few cases of the first case happening and the whole nintendo thing could encourage people to do it more :/

Your video got deleted. I Googled the URL and it's saying it's not longer available.

I fucked up trying to link it. I just spoiler'd it instead.
