You May No Longer Be Able To Monetize Your Minecraft Videos

"Following Microsoft's announcement today that they are buying Minecraft developer Mojang, one thought that may have come into many a YouTuber's head is - will I still be able to monetize my Minecraft videos?

The answer is probably no. Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules specifically state just that." - TGC

Not really, it's clearly stated in Microsofts Game Content Rules.

nX3509d ago

Funny how another news on the front page states "Microsoft’s Purchase of Minecraft Will Benefit Everyone".

Gazondaily3509d ago

Well wait for clarification on it guys before making assumptions/knee-jerk reactions.

Mr Pumblechook3509d ago (Edited 3509d ago )

It IS a Microsoft rule - but we have to wait and see if they enforce it.

Their statement yesterday acknowledged the Minecraft community, who are a big part of the reason Microsoft wanted this IP. There are guys like Stampy and Captain Sparklez who have a massive worldwide following on YouTube so I would think it unlikely that Microsoft would try and change that.

If Microsoft did enforce this Im sure a new Minecraft clone would spring up and the community would migrate to it. After spending $2.5 Billion I don't think they would be that stupid... I don't know of any previous occasion where they have asked for the removal of a Let's Play from YouTube of any of their own studio published games.

Gazondaily3509d ago

I suspect that MS would most likely make an exception to the rule for this because I imagine the backlash to this would be immense and not something they can afford at all right now (money doesn't help in this regard).

Minecraft has a MASSIVE following on YouTube (I personally never really got into Minecraft and really don't get the whole appeal around it) and this policy would definitely ruffle a lot of feathers.

ShadowWolf7123509d ago

@Septic

Doubtful. IF they made any exceptions to the rule, it would likely only be for those who are already big names in the Minecraft community and they'd just chalk it up to costs of advertising. Up-and-comers though... unlikely.

Godmars2903509d ago

@ShadowWolf712:

Any action like that would effect the Minecraft community overall. They'd be foolish to try and micromanage like that.

And your name is Custard lol and my name is DarkOcelet because i love Revolver Ocelot , nothing is wrong in naming yourself on something you like .

jrshankill3509d ago

how about actually waiting and finding out for yourself instead of listening to bullS**t online?

Berenwulf3509d ago

This is just the beginning... Microsoft will destroy Minecraft!

"After spending $2.5 Billion I don't think they would be that stupid... "

That's what I said when those DRM rumors stated to appear and we were in the middle of #dealwithit. I knew ms were greedy, but I didn't think they would be that stupid to try to enforce their draconian DRM...

And look what happened.

We knew this day would come... The FUD speculation has arrived.

hkgamer3509d ago

sad news for people who earn big bucks from minecraft videos. actually would be a fking scary right now for them.

i was just wondering if this was part of ms game studios or ms as a whole. not 100% sure if mojang would be part of their ms games studios or a seperate enitity.

hazelamy3509d ago

i really hope they're not stupid enough to actually do this, but then they did think locking disc games on console to a single user was a good idea, so who knows.

they're certainly greedy enough, but are they stupid enough?

CaptainObvious8783509d ago

"they're certainly greedy enough, but are they stupid enough?"

Looking back at the DRM fiasco, I'd say, yes, they are that stupid.

Jack_Reacher3509d ago

Oh come on as if ms are going to still let you make money on something they are not.

Wake up people. Surely you have read of the way they have forced devs to charge for dlc and the like in the past.

Give it less than a year and they whole aura around minecraft will be gone.

.... from the 2000s (mostly).

shinoff218344d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name44d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno44d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno43d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure43d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX63d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
