[Multi-Console] What do you think of Nintendo taking money from Let's Players?

[theRPGdude]

Nintendo's recent actions depriving Partnered LPers on YouTube of their earnings will result in a backlash against Nintendo. The LPers are a great portion of Nintendo's PR and BRANDING. The ratio of what LPer's earn to what Nintendo would pay an advertising firm for the sales benefits Nintendo reaps is minimal at best. LPer's have the dedication and passion, their love of Nintendo's games along with their fan base following, is something Nintendo cannot even afford to PAY. With the news release that Nintendo Corporation is now going to take away the LPer's income from their videos will expose Nintendo's severe lack of forethought concerning their actions. The bottom line is that LPer's increase Nintendo's sales. No corporation, no matter how large, embraces a bad public image. Nintendo's recent actions do not encourage sales, they do not encourage the joy the games are supposed to provide. What these actions do highlight is what is considered corporate greed and not what should be a very happy symbiotic relationship. Nintendo, please rethink your stance on the appropriation of LPer revenue.

Nintendo has lost the title of being the best gaming company.They missed a generation with the Wii and now they only just released the Wii U even though Sony and Microsoft are leaping into the next generation of gaming this year.

Its terrible how far they've fallen.

Nintendo have obviously forgotten what is important and what they need to do to inspire a loyal following. Silly buggers.

It seems they care more about the money than the gamers

*New mario title*

Person 1: Piece of sht, blah blah blah nintendo.

*Monster hunter 3 ultimate title*

Butthurt: Blah blah blah graphics, blah blah why not vita (Cause vita is DEAD).

*Pokemon X & Y*

Person 1: L ol pokemon this and that.

I swear the sony fanbase is the worst. No matter how much nintendo provides and how hard they try to please their base there'll always be this kind of people who just like to talk sht over and over. There is officially nothing they can find that would justify nintendo... They should just buy a 3DS or a wii U, and then talk all the sht they want.

Nintendo has never fallen and never well, Straight your sales up!

It's completely stupid, as they're shooting themselves in the foot.

LPers help to show off a game and whether it's enjoyable or not. You'll probably find most people nowadays will check YouTube for gameplay before deciding if a game is worth purchasing.
Taking money from LPers of their games will only discourage them from showing off Nintendo's new releases, and they'll lose more money than they are now.
