So Long Gamer YouTubers

[Wenry]

I'd just go to Twitch if I were you.
Apparently a lot of YouTubers are having their videos flagged for copyright now.
Nintendo, Konami, Gamersfirst, & ATLUS is all I can find so far.
I feel like YouTube is just gonna get worse from here honestly.
Opinions?

mehh, can't blame the companies. unless they get some royalties from youtube for people making thousands off their games, then I kinda see their point.

It's free advertisement. Nowadays I won't even buy a game unless I see some gameplay on it.

it was gonna happen sooner or later, gamers were literally stealing income away from companies XD, Nintendo decided to just take your monetization which is the smartest decision, they pimping them![DOUBLEPOST=1386658548,1386658481][/DOUBLEPOST]

if your selling a shirt and i came into your home took the shirt and went around the city wearing it without telling you, thats still free advertisement right?

The bad one's are the companies that get videos pulled. It likely loses them at least one customer and removes free advertisement. I can't knock the companies that just take the revenue though. It's their IP, after all. I do think it's a bad idea though, because again, it's likely to lose them at least one customer.

Not even the same thing. It's like taking her shirt, making a copy of it, returning the shirt to her, and wearing the copy around the city.

I thought this is where networks step in. Don't networks allow their partners to use video game footage?

We will see how it goes ^^ maybe the companies will go so far and tell us not to play the games? just buy the games and put them in the closet
