Nintendo's new monetized video policy isn't going over well, but is it better than nothing?
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Nope. They only claim Mario related games as my
Smash, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, DKCTF and Others titles aren't.
I would not say so. Their presence will be smaller as a result though.
Omg no. Stop taking the stupid angry Joe bullcrap and spinning it even harder than he is.
Ugh, obviously not.
Pretty much I would say. The big Youtubers already gave Nintendo the middle finger, and you know their big fanbase does nothing but follow them. The other Youtubers won't even try just to not have their channel closed because of stupid Copyright Claims.
Pewdiepie already announced a Bloodborne series. You will see BB sales skyrocket. Mark My Words! That's the power of Youtube, and that is what Nintendo fails to see.
Do they have the right to do whatever they want with their property? Yeah as long as no one is doing illegal stuff. Youtube let's plays aren't illegal. Many people think it's too easy to do lets plays. It takes a lot of sweat and patience to gain even 10.000 followers, let alone 100.000. It takes work to make content and keep a good pace to gain and entertain your subscribers. This isn't just sitting on a chair and yell at a screen. Pewdie and the likes may be sitting on a gold mine now, but they started from 0 and had to work hard to be where they are.
And You are telling me, that Nintendo after receiving their cut from the sales of their games, they can just drain more money from all the hard work of the Youtubers just because it's their property? Even when Youtubers spend money in their equipment as well? Hell No. Nintendo is wrong, and even worse when other companies understand the power of Youtube and act friendly.
