“Angry Joe” Vargas, a popular YouTuber that features over two million subscribers, has received a “content” violation from Nintendo on YouTube and that’s not, in anyway, a good thing.
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.

Iwata: "Oh I see nothing wrong here, that guy likes being angry. He calls himself "Angry Joe""
These youtubers should just ban Nintendo and their games instead of going through all this trouble.
While I can understand where some of these people are coming from (Joe and people with that much notoriety do make a lot of money for companies), I also see where they're coming from and sometimes find these complaints, while somewhat valid, also quite whinny.
Since I really don't want to get into a rant about it I'll say this much. As much as I enjoy making videos and watching others (guides anyway), some companies strongly discourage showing anything. I'm still angry I got a strike against my account because Arc System Works or Aksys didn't like I showed a little of the games story. Never intended to upload it all, nor did I intend to do anything else besides offer people the first couple of minutes (I think it was 15 minutes of a multiple hour long cutscene) and I received nothing asking me to take it down or saying I couldn't do it, yet I still lost the ability to upload videos past 15 minutes, make any money period and a bunch of other things. =\
First off, Joe didn't buy the console since fans donated for it. I feel it is safe to assume he would not have bought one of his own accord. So saying he bought all this stuff like the controllers and games is voided since he wouldn't have bought them without fans giving him a console to begin with. Basically I'm saying he chose to spend that money on those things because he just happened to get a WiiU. I'm not trying to say he doesn't have a point.
NOW WITH THAT SAID, I agree with a lot of what he has to say. Although I think he's a bit confused that everyone gives Nintendo a free pass. Of course blind fanboys will but anyone with any amount of common sense will acknowledge when a company has FAILED in areas. Joe's points are 100% correct. Nintendo is a senile company stuck in Medieval times and refuse to truly come to the modern era. They say they're adapting but with stuff like this I have to think "This is... adapting?"
I have so much to love and hate with Nintendo. I love their games. Almost always guaranteed a full, content filled game with fun gameplay on top of accessibility, while at the same time, showing a lot of love to fans and showing that they value the fans and some requests like Lucas returning to Smash4 and the fan ballot voting.
But every time they do this sort of copyright thing, their entire youtube policy, and that cease and desist against that non-profit SM64 HD level demo, I want to slap them. I can't believe a company thinks they can get away with something like that and not receive backlash. They only hurt themselves immensely when they do these sorts of idiotic things. It makes me question if I should even support their products sometimes because they're so backwards that I feel like I have to be a parent and say "You can't have this money until you learn your lesson."
Joe has every right IN MY OPINION to be angry about this. And I hope one day, Nintendo pulls their heads all the way out of their 3DasseS and have a strong following beyond their hardcore fans.
This guy is such a bloody attention seeking fool. His shtick is getting older and older each vid he makes.
