Nintendo can now ban streamers and content creators from using their games if they are caught posting "immoral” content and leaks
Nintendo is fortifying its guidelines for online content creators using their games and other copyrighted material.
Japanese company applying Japanese law to global consumers. This needs to stop. Its fine to apply Japanese law in Japan to Japanese consumers, but not other countries.
Nintendo, I used to love you, and now you are the single biggest contributor to me hating you.
Unfortunately that's only gonna stop when social media companies enable country blocking for streamers to prevent their content from being shown to Japanese audiences.
It's as if customer protection laws are necessary... A whole bunch of things found in EULA doesn't apply to me just because of where I live and the fact that we have them here.
Nintendo, knows they can coerce YouTube into destroying peoples channels, by sung them in Japan, so they get to write any rules they want.
Not sure how Japanese law has anything to do with this. I'm pretty sure under US law (the one that ultimately matters for streaming) leaves all the rights of recorded videos of the game with the right holders of the game. That you're allow to record/stream games at all has no legal precedent, it's just a wise business decision by publisher to not forbid it (anymore).
And legality aside. As a dev I wouldn't want racist or bigoted streamers to show my game and make money off of my work. Same with leakers. Sure for a big company I don't care but if someone leaked an indie devs work, we would consider it a dick move as well.
How long until grandpoobear is banned from posting their content for having poo in their name, just like they deleted all his Mario maker levels for having the word poo in them?
Thanks Nintendo! You're giving me even more reasons to not buy any of your crap. It's been years since I bought something from you and I'm happy you keep doing your best to help me with my decision.
Just bought a steamdeck (switch is objectively inferior)
We could honestly probably say it's empirically inferior.
Eh, the Switch has a few things going for it:
- smaller form factor and better battery life
- joycons are nice for casual gaming
- physical media can be lent and resold
- simpler to use - matters a lot for kids
I have and love both. I really like first party Nintendo titles, but I really dislike Nintendo's legal arm.
Okay, keep digging your own grave Nintendo. Twitch streamers and YouTubers are a major source of advertising for you, even for back-catalog stuff. The only reason why I see Nintendo directs is because a streamer I enjoy watches them. My interest in Nintendo stuff is pretty low but I've been persuaded to buy a few Nintendo games as a result of YouTube or twitch videos. But here's the thing: these guys have no filter. They swear constantly and love innuendo. They will probably get caught in Nintendo's net and stop streaming Nintendo stuff. As a result, I will no longer be paying attention to what Nintendo's doing.
gives Nintendo the liberty to not only take legal action but also ban a user from any future use of their IPs in content making.

Sounds like they've got their work cut out for themselves.
Until they come across the right person inside the EU, then they are fucked. :)
Anti consumer tos are strictly prohibited. For example you could even sue your way out of a ban when you cheated because they keep you out of consuming a product you paid for.

This right here, folks? Is why the concept of "self-documenting code" is nonsense.
Friendly reminder that it's really fucking stupid to click links without reading them, and I mean really fucking stupid.
So what does this mean for the future of Shotgun Mario 64?
Why does anyone ever stream their crap anymore? Remember when they got YouTube to send all your ad rev to them because you streamed their games? Does everyone have amnesia?
