PeeKnuckle Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Bad move, Nintendo. Nintendo is using Youtube's Content ID system to make this happen. The service searches Youtube for video or audio that matches a company's content, and then gives them control over that Youtube submission. “Identify user-uploaded videos comprised entirely OR partially of their content, and choose, in advance, what they want to happen when those videos are found,” the official page states. “Make money from them. Get stats on them. Or block them from YouTube altogether.” So if you're creating a walkthrough or a Let's Play video of a Nintendo game, that video will now be monetized by Nintendo. They make the money from it, not you.

MrsBadExample Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 What a bunch of assholes. What's hilarious, is LPers are essentially mini marketing teams for these companies. They should be happy we broadcast their games for them, and review them, or praise them. Buncha morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
