Is this possibly one of the most scummy think Nintendo has done?
>>335827983
I've never heard of this
What exactly is it?
>>335828838
Nintendo takes money from people who upload gameplay footage and "kindly" gives them a "small cut" of the profit. They also monetize videos with no ads if it has as little as 30 seconds of nintendo game footage, even if the video is 2 hours long.
>>335828838
Nintendo let you make money off videos of Nintendo games provided you share a 30% (if you allow it for the whole channel) or 40%(for individual videos) split of the ad revenue.
>>335827983
Why?
>>335828838
Basically you sign up to a website and register your videos to split Ad revenue with Nintendo or else you get the risk of having your videos taken down by Copyright strikes.
>>335829051
>>335829097
That is pretty scummy
No other game company does this right?
>>335829254
LPs fall under fair use. This is basically a way for Nintendo to nickle and dime people who play their games. Most publishers don't even do this she because they realize that being consumer friendly is a good thing.
>>335829051
I don't see the problem, you'll have to explain why this is bad
>>335829449
>LPs fall under fair use.
According to what fucking court?
>>335829501
LPs are fair use and really shouldn't be under monetization. Its the same principal that movie reviewers like RedLetterMedia fall under
>>335829449
>This is basically a way for Nintendo to nickle and dime people who play their games
i have never had a single additional cent leave my possession due to youtube let's plays being taken down, and i've been using nintendo consoles since the NES

>>335829608
>According to what fucking court?
Youtubers who want all the money and don't think the rightful holder has any rights.
e.g. It's the sort of mind set that suggests some random guy should have more rights over a video of a Mario videogame than Nintendo.
>>335829449
Fair use doesn't include distribution of copyrighted content without consent of the holders and getting money for it.
Copyrighted content as image, music, etc.
Fair use is solely for reviewing and academic purposes.
>>335829682
remind me what percentage of a let's play is game footage and what percentage of an RLM video is movie/show footage
i forget
>>335829814
>Asking a question about fair use means you're a Nintendo fan.
Fucking what?
>>335829608
https://iplsrutgers.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/do-lets-play-videos-constitute-fair-use/
feel free to upload all the Nintendo game footage in the world without monetising. Oh what's that, it's not worth your time if you don't get money off of it?
How very noble of Youtubers...
No. Not even close. You don't seriously think that, do you?
Their attempts to strongarm video game rentals or competitors at retail out of existence are probably some of the scummiest shit they've done.
>>335829682

Is that why I see a bias towards Nintendoshit at Gamestop?
>>335830124

Yes. Playing a game/reviewing it is not the same as uploading a whole game to be played and downlaoded on something like TPB
>>335830124
>nintendo fans
>>335830198
People get copyright strikes for humming a section of a copyrighted song, too.
I'm still not seeing how RLM videos are on the same level as let's plays
let's plays are closer to commentary tracks, if anything
>>335829682
Even if videogames were some magical exception, a 2 hour LP video features 2 hours of music not owned by te LPer, they could sue over that alone.
>>335830242
What GameStop do you go to? All I see is Sony, Xbox and prepaid cards for both of them. They have one little corner with Nintendo games.
>>335830358
And how is that in any way similar to actually playing the game?

Yeah that's what gets me the most, fan content even lets plays used to be based on passion and genuine enthusiasm for the individual games and developers, not money. You'd make a letsplay because you love the game.
How exactly are these people fans when their enthuiasm ends as their ability to make money off it ends?
>>335829501
greedy youtubers wont be able to profit as much off Nintendo's work
>>335830581
they are not anon. those people are posers pretending to care about Nintendo games when actually, they only care about the money they can make playing said games.
That's why salty youtubers have long since spreading the idea that the Wii U isn't selling well precisely because of their Partner Program. Just the most dishonest shit you can come across.
>>335830973
Wii U selling like shit is due to the complete disconnect they have with their users however.
I miss pre-LP cancer YouTube.
>>335827983

>>335830561
And 9th Gen will make them work with EA. They are listed as a big part of the NX framework.
>>335832059
2006 Youtube was amazing
>>335833023
Because you were less than 18 then
>>335833080
It didn't have any LP cancer at all.
>>335833164
But it had all types of different cancers. Also you were younger than 18.
Nothing wrong with it at all
>>335827983
I hate youtubers though, so I hope they enforce it. I just hope all of them start doing it to twitchtards.
How dare Nintendo want money for their work!
>>335827983
Not the scummiest thing they've done, but definitely the stupidest.
>"today's young kids, our demographic, love youtube. they love it so much, they would rather watch their favorite youtubers, who they view as literally celebrities and role models to look up to, than play our games. how do we convince them to stop doing this?"
>"I know, let's fuck over the youtubers they idolize by introducing a draconian method of taking add revenue from them if they so much as use a second of our footage or music! this way, if we're ever mentioned, it is in a negative light and they don't even get to see if any of our games are good!"
>"brilliant!"
>>335827983
It's actually pretty based. Wish every publisher did this. If you try to monetize their product they should get a cut of the profit. Seems only fair.
>>335827983
I can think of worse.
>>335833991
>draconian
"Oh no, we can't take 100% of the profit for using someone else's created artwork as the majority of the video's background and half the sound of our videos?"
But you make a good point. Youtubers are a whiny and selfish bunch, so of course they'll throw tantrums, and in turn that doesn't send a good message for the no-taste no-brains children who watch them.
>>335834381
exactly this, the piece of shit youtuber is making money off of the nintendo product. You gotta pay the troll toll.
Entitled whiny youtubers get their channels pulled.
>>335834621
>I have no idea how to target demographics
Totally, you should work for Nintendo.
>>335834483

No, but it comes close. Then taking down fan projects is the worst to me at least.
>>335834381
>I wish everyone was the same
Fuck off commie.
>>335833164
it had terrible quality and all videos were "epic fails"
It's not what I'd consider amazing
>>335828838
Nintendo pays you a small stipend to shill them on youtube
>>335834713
>I have no idea how copyright laws work
Totally, you should work for Bernie Sanders.
Not even really all that scummy to be honest, what's more surprising is that other companies aren't MORE aggressive in their pursuit of ad revenue on videos like Let's Playe considering how Jewish the industry has gotten on the whole.
>>335827983
>fucking youtubers in the ass
that was one of the most based things nintendo has ever done
Looking at the garbage they release or announce (Federation Force LOL) lately, no wonder they're getting desperate.

Dude wha?
>>335836194
Try harder
>>335827983
It doesn't affect their products, so I don't give a shit.
They have way bigger problems.
>>335829501
Everything that ruin awful let's players and stupid reviewers like Angry Joe is good in my book. It's not fucking fair they're making money out of someone else work.
Playing a videogame and recording it shouldn't give anyone money.
Nintendo should hit harder and just ban all discussion on Nintendo because they're not getting anything from it.
>>335836379
>WHY CAN'T I MAKE MONEY OFF SOMEONE ELSE WORK.
>>335834713
No, you just told us how they work. The demographics, the little kids, watch these completely selfish, petty youtubers all day. Because they don't understand reality outside of how to draw in more youtube views, they bitch and whine they can't take 100% of the profits while using the work of others in their videos. So in the end nintendo got bad PR because whiny youtubers being so popular among kids.
Anything else that I've missed?
Youtubers killed videogames.
Facebook killed the internet.
That's all.

You're only saying that because it's hurting your precious Nintendo. If Sony was getting insulted, you'd be on board with that making fun of them.
>>335830561
>Release a console and almost immediately abandon it
when?
If only other companies did this to put off a majority of LP cancer. LPs ruined a generation of children.
>>335836981
How is it a good thing? And your reasoning cant be MUH FEELINGS
nah making money doing something trivial with no real talent without giving a cut to the people responsible for it is far more scummy
monetization ruined Youtube
>>335837102
> LPs ruined a generation of children.
>>335827983
Doesn't this just mean that no one will LP Nintendo games anymore?
How much money could they actually make off of this anyway? The LPing scene isn't THAT big, is it?
>>335837221
Fake quote.
>>335837103
its purging of the cancer anon
>>335827983
They aren't doing anything wrong here.
If your main source of income is letting other people watch you play video games then you need to rethink your life. Get a real fucking job.

Still deals with how that shits been said since 0AD

>defending nintendo
>on /v/ at its current state
lmao
Any company would be justified in taking 100% of their profits. I wouldn't care if Bobby from Activision personally went in and acted as the repo man to liquidate all their assets.
Don't most big Youtubers get paid through a third party? Living off of YouTube ad revenue isn't very stable and YouTube themselves already take a cut of that money
>>335837320
Youtube has always been cancerous

When you having the "job" is at the whim of the copyright holder who you never agreed or gave permission to do any work for in the first place.
Buskers who play music on the streets have more of an official job than a LPer, because a lot of them atleast get permission to do it.
>>335837687
By being JUST as cancerous? How much is Nintendo paying you to shill? How could you justify shit like them censoring games or region locking?
>>335838035
>Youtube LPs
>""""""""""""""Entertainment"""""""""""""
>>335838112
Still a job friendo
A lot of people are also ignoring the perks that come with it.
Many Youtubers who have signed on are getting early copies of games, paid trips to NoA to meet developers and see upcoming games and features long before anyone else.
>>335838091
All of those have value to society
Streaming yourself playing video games is not a fucking job. If you depend on that as your only source of income then you deserve to get fucked over by corporations.

If I make a video using someone else's music, artwork, storyline etc, and I attempt to monetize it, I am breaking the law. Why is it okay if it's a videogame?
Is Nintendo dumb as fuck for doing this? Yeah, probably. They aren't Telltale. Most people buy their games to actually play them. But they are entirely within their rights. There's nothing scummy about this.
I'll take a timestamped picture of my PS4 if I need to.

>>335829051
There is nothing wrong with this.
>B-but streamers should be entitled to large amounts of ad based revenue streams for streaming other people's intellectual property with a very small amount of adulteration
No, streaming for money is absolutely parasitical.
>>335839990
Funny that you mention business considering Nintendo's one of the only companies treating LPs like they're actually part of the business.
It's not scummy at all. I think it's hilarious. If YouTube or Twitch are your main source of income, you can eat a dick. Get a real job.
>>335840214
That's exactly what I meant, they looked up to whiny, selfish youtubers as role models, so it was bad PR when these youtubers threw bitchfits at not being able to get 100% of the profits from derivative works. When did I contradict this?

>>335829051
It's okay when youtube does it!
My only complaint is that Nintendo should allow people to send any revenue their videos make to a transparent and reputable charitable organization, some people give the majority or all of their proceeds to charity and that should be an option other than just not getting anything at all or giving most of it to Nintendo.
>>335827983
It's literally the only good thing they've ever done aside from maybe firing that SJW.

Even if it has (which you have given little proof for anyways), the fact remains that that doesn't automagically mean that it isn't true now simply because it wasn't true then. These last hundred or so years have been a time of steadily increasing rapid and widespread technological and social changes, there's no question that the children of today are much more different as compared to their parents, than their great great grandparents compared with their children.
>>335841365
Tom and Jerry reruns on TV, earlier seasons of Spongebob, Digimon season 1 and 2, and earlier seasons of Simpsons.
>>335841632

You're having people PAY to advertise for you. Say that out loud.
>>335841720
I suppose you could be a highfalutin asshole and call them all shit, but they were all a clear cut above youtube trash, but please and try to disprove me.
>>335842000
Spongebob was a cancerous show that highlighted the shit taste kids had in cartoons.
>>335842000
I have no idea why you're comparing shows with actual production values to youtube videos made on the cheap.
>>335841901
>Advertise
Right, because they don't lose just as many sales from faggots who think watching a game be played and playing a game are equivalent.
Also paying to advertise is not new, why do you think that name brands come with logos and are suspiciously more expensive than off brand stuff. I'll give you a hint, it's not because they are made in the slightly less shitty Indian sweatshop.

Right, and watching grown ass men shouting memes at the screen while playing like an imbecile (and these are the most popular lps) is much better than watching discount Looney Tunes.
It's hard for me to care about this since it has jack shit to do with video games and I don't watch Let's Plays.
Besides, I'm sure these will easily top that soon enough.

Tom and Jerry shout grandpa memes and pop culture references all the time.
Didn't Pissed Pedro get mad at Nintendo because he couldn't get all his pesos?
>>335829886
Shit, cancel the entire journalism industry
Oh wait, you don't know what you're talking about
>>335842723
There were no memes before the internet kid.
>>335840489
>most real jobs are shit nowadays
They've always been shit.
>>335840512
Work is work, it's not play. That's why it's called work. Playing video games is only a job if you're a bug tester.
>>335842897
"work" and "job" are not the same word.
>>335842723
>grandpa memes
Like?
>>335843003
Having a job means you work. Talking while playing a video game isn't work.
>>335842203
A better question to ask would be why kids are watching the latter at all.
>>335843027
Zoot Suits were a meme, that would be like if they made a pop culture reference about "Jeggings" in new Tom and Jerry shows
>>335843102
surely you realize there's also a significant amount of video editing involved
>>335843102
Yes it is. Editing and recoding is work.
>>335843210
Because they're kids stupid

He literally said in his post that it is allowed for "reviewing".

Fred Basset was the original meme
>>335843358
>>335843379
Personal recording and video editing is a hobby, not a job.
Livestreams are not edited and not pre-recorded, and those aren't jobs either.
>>335843589
It is if you're paid to do it and have an expected flow of content coming out.

but it's not personal? they're doing it for income
don't be retarded
>>335843281
>old cartoons "memed" by making a well-animated episode where one of the main characters act out the mannerism expected from someone wearing a zoot suit

Even at memeing there's no comparison.

>>335843871
It's only a job if it's an obligation. Posting videos of yourself playing video games is voluntary, not an obligation.
Not just reviewing
> Examples of fair use in United States copyright law include commentary, search engines, criticism, parody, news reporting, research, and scholarship
>Criticism
>Parody
oh, wait
That's LPs
>>335843934
By that logic, any job is voluntary and therefor not a job.
>>335842897
they're shittier then ever now
with purchasing power going down

it's wrong when Nintendo does it

>Wahhh I can't use somebody else's content to make free money on youtube!
>>335844528
Thats exactly what nintendo is doing though
>>335842276
you are delusional if you think nintendo is actually losing sales from LPs
it's basically advertising, extremely effective advertising at that
how many games have experienced sudden boosts in popularity because of popular LPers playing them? i can guarantee that you've seen it happen before
>>335844647
>Mario is someone else's IP
Holy fucking shit. Illuminiti confirmed.
>I don't like thing so it's okay for Nintendo to be greedy money grubbing jews
lmao nintendo fans.
>>335844697
Do you have a single fact to back up that anecdotal evidence?
>>335844697
99 percent of games that receive significant sales boosts due to LPers are shitty indie jumpscare bullshit like FNAF.
>>335844697
see, this is my problem with the whole thing. everyone always claims that it's free advertisement, but no one has any data to back up just how effective it is. It could have a marginal effect at best for all we know.
People are just very confident when they talk about this, but it seems that confidence cannot be backed up by proof.
>>335827983
Not even close. Youtubers are a cancer that should be purged from the earth.
>>335845020
Do you have a single fact that says otherwise?
>>335827983
>you infringe Nintendo's IP
>commenting on a game while playing it, isn't part of fair use
>you are neither associated nor a partner of Nintendo
So why the FUCK do you think you are entitled to make money of their products nigga?
you are nothing but a leech who is incapable of creating original content, so stop blaming others.
And don't give me that shit that you are promoting the game, an international corporation is quite capable of doing it themself you retard.
I know you guys hate Jim Sterling and all, but he figured out an exploit around it. Basically put a bunch of footage in your video that will be copyright claimed, that way no one company can monetise it
>>335845351
Nothing is wrong with let's play

>>335841632
C'mon anon, Digimon 02 did not age well. Don't lie to yourself.
Let's Play is just people having fun playing games.
If you have an issue with how other people have fun, you're no better than an SJW.
>>335846174
>And don't give me that shit that you are promoting the game, an international corporation is quite capable of doing it themself you retard.
Okay so an absolute ton of people doing LPs and other stuff about games doesn't do a fucking thing for promoting the game then.
Be honest, did you just want to post that gif you found and some bollocks text to go with it?
>>335846771
Outliers. Also indie games.
>>335839096
Hey their old stuff was tuff and rugged. Nintendium wasn't a meme at one point.
If you're going to make money of LPs you should probably have a real job first.
>>335847335
The concept of an LP is fine, people thinking they're entitled to large sums of money for it is the issue.
>>335847917
And that's why Nintendo is shit.
