ah, okay. I don’t know what your sense of humor is, but I’d suggest watching guude, or at least checking out the other guys on the mindcrack server. they’re a funny bunch.

@Greenjack  
A friend of mine that watches Guude told me.

@fastbreak333  
I heard about that from guude. did you hear about it from guude?

@Greenjack  
It’s true. Youtube even approached Notch if he would like to use ContentID for all Minecraft videos. He declined.

@PwnyPony  
I said let’s not just blame nintendo for this fuckery. google is to blame as well… honestly even more than nintendo, because google is promoting this bullshit!

@Greenjack  
But they accepted the deal.

@Itsthinking  
unless you are being sarcastic you can kindly go fuck yourself.

@PwnyPony  
actually, google (the people that own youtube) are the guys going around offering these deals to companies. let’s not just blame nintendo for this fuckery.

I carefully read the article and from the sounds of it, from now on, whenever someone uploads a video containing Nintendo games. The viewers will ALWAYS have to sit through ads first before watching a playthrough or walkthrough of their game.

You know, as silly as it sounds, this is one of those few TV Meme pictures that just screams “inaccurate” and “out of character” to me. I just don’t see Gamer Luna as the type to get so bent over shape over LPs, and if she did she’d at least be a little more elegant about it.
 
As for my personal opinion. I really don’t care much about LPs. If this were Nintendo going “takedown crazy” and actually removing videos, I can understand the anger. but I think they have a right to claim what’s legally theirs.
 
Ocarinaplaya, the guy who made those Doctor and the Assistant animations wanted me to utilize my skills at making a custom intro using the “clean”, title free Doctor Who intros. When I made it and he tried incorporating it, at first it was blocked completely, but after some editing, I got it up, but it was still ID’ed for revenue. And he told me “I deserve to make money for my work” and ended up not using it.
 
I’m just flabbergasted by that sense of arrogance and self-entitlement. In other words, I find it funny that people are citing Nintendo for being greedy, when I think it’s the LP’ers that are being greedy for making money of something that is essentially not theirs.

What is this

what is this my dear sir what is this

@Fipse  
When that opinion is actually refined and not baseless insults, then we won’t make fun of it.
 
Also, this picture is dumb and OP should feel dumb. This place is already dealing with enough drama as it is.

@Takashi.0
 
Because a normal person is not allowed to have a negative opinion about the WiiU

@Takashi.0  
falls off chair laughs

@That one guy….
 
Oh hi EA, I didn’t know you visited Derpibooru.

You want more money Nintendo? Try making a console or game that ISN’T SHIT!

This creates the possibility of DSPgaming being removed from youtube, and I am so so for that.

@Background Pony  
Except for, no matter what, that movie is going to start and end the same way, everytime. That’s why that warning is there. The only experience you can have with a movie is to watch it. With a game, nobody’s going to do the same exact thing. Some may go for a stealth run while others go for a run & gun approach, for example.
 
If you’ve watched TB’s video on it, you basically know all I’m gonna say about it.
 
The only difference between a video game and a sport is physical. Look at games like Starcraft. Or Dwarf Fortress. Or even CoD, to a lesser extent. Some games take loads of skill to play well. And you can’t even say that Dwarf Fortress takes less learning than playing any kind of sport.
 
Art commissioning is also using copyrighted material for your own gain, depending on what it is you’re being commissioned to do.

@ChickNeighney  
For me it’s because Lets Plays are basically doing DVD commentary over you playing a video game, a task that doesn’t require as much skill or learning as something like playing sports (physical) or web design (higher education). Plus there’s the fact you’re using a copyrighten product made by others for your own personal gain. You didn’t make the game, and the fact you own a copy of it doesn’t make the intellectual property yours for monetary gain. You know how videos always had that warning saying that they weren’t meant for exhibition purposes? Well this is the same thing more or less.

@Background Pony  
Minecraft is as big as it is because of Let’s Plays. Notch has said this.
 
Also, people get paid millions just to play fo(u)otball, and they don’t even need to win. Why is it a problem for someone to live comfortably by playing video games?

I looked at joshjepson and therunawayguys Lps when the romer started I saw their let’s play and it’s normal

No offense but the claim that LPs somehow cause a significant increase in game sales is a rather unfounded claim. Can they help? Sure, but do they really cause such a heavy increase in sales? Also what logic do you have for pre-YouTube game sales before LPs even became a thing? We didn’t need LPs in my childhood. end old fart mode LPs should be more of a hobby IMO, not a full time job.

@Corrderio  
It’s still a lot of people’s jobs. You may not care, but some people do it for a living, and if more game companies do this, that’s a lot of people getting screwed out of their source of income. It’s like telling artists that they can’t do commissions because it’s of copyrighted material.

I couldn’t care less. I find LP videos annoying.

@SunBurn  
doesn’t that happen with all game company’s or is just nintendo?
