Oh nintendo, when will you learn that by shooting streamers and youtubers in the face, you shoot yourselves in the foot?

Not really. People still buying their products like sheep case in point the SNES Classic
Correct me but this is only for those who are Nintendo Creators right?
Sort of a sensationalized title because you can still stream while not being a part of that program.

They're mostly just shooting Youtube streaming in the face. People are just going to move even more to Twitch.

Yeah, this is only for people in that program.
For fuck's sake Nintendo.
Gameplay footage should really fall under fair use. Nobody is going to watch a stream and thing "well gee now I don't need to buy the game!", if anything they'd probably buy it [i]because[/i] of the footage. The only time I could ever see a problem is with linear story-focused exploration games, but that's such a small part of the game market that I'd argue it's negligible. It especially doesn't apply to Nintendo's games.
