Let's Play... and let's monetize!

Nintendo has seemingly reversed its stance on claiming copyright and ad revenue on Youtube videos that contain footage of their games.

ZackScottGames, a "Let's Player" who was the first person to bring Nintendo's controversial decision to light, has said that the claims on his videos have disappeared, and he is able to receive ad revenue.

“I saw the revenue return and I had no further claims made on any of my other videos since the news broke," says Zack. "So I took the leap of faith.”

NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime had recently defended the policy at E3, saying “The fans need to understand that we see the issue, we understand the issue, but, right now, all we’ve done is take the first step to protect our IP.” We have not received an official statement from Nintendo, but we will update this story once we do.

NWR Feedback / What do YOU guys want from Backlogg With CurtDogg?

« on: June 19, 2013, 05:45:54 PM »

Hey guys, I'm gonna be taking another hiatus from the Backlogg stream, mostly because I can't seem to figure out what I can do to make the stream more entertaining. I'm lucky if 5 people even tune into the stream, and even luckier if they end up actually chatting or calling in. Viewership gradually dwindles as the stream goes on, and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.


This is pretty much my last resort. I've asked Twitter, Facebook, and even made a blog post on the site itself, but there's been no luck in finding any sort of general consensus. Am I just not entertaining? Do I need more people to talk to? Are the games I'm playing not interesting enough? Just what is it that would make/keep you guys tuned in?
