I wanted to take you seriously, but you keep doing shit like this: Fez Creator Phil Fish Says YouTub - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The subject of what YouTube users who make use of game footage owe those games' developers--if anything--has been a hot-button issue for some time now. Count Fez creator Phil Fish among those who believe YouTubers are not entitled to make money broadcasting games without sharing the revenue, as the outspoken developer took to Twitter today to share his views on the matter. "YouTubers should have to pay out a huge portion of their revenue to the developers from which they steal all their content," Fish said in the first of a series of tweets. "[Ad] revenue should be shared with developers," he continued. " This should be built into YouTube. Anything else is basically piracy." He then tweeted several more times, as follows: "If you generate money from putting my content on your channel, you owe me money. Simple as that." "If you buy a movie, are you then allowed to stream the entirety of it publicly for people to watch for free? No, because that's illegal." "Systems are in place to prevent that. But buy Fez, put ALL of it on YouTube, turn on ads, make money from it and that's TOTALLY FINE." "And the developer should in NO WAY be compensated for their work being freely distributed to the world. Right. Makes sense."

What is Fair Use and why is it still relevant?

There's no way he's doing this on purpose, all of this has to be an act.

With nintendo wanting a cut from their games I don't see this as any different.

Wow, wasn't getting enough attention I guess

Is it getting close to being a year since the meltdown already? Man, time flies.

Phil Fish just deleted his twitter account all together due to the backslash from this.

Hi I'm Phil Fish and what is free advertising?

Idiot with a big mouth doesn't know when to keep it shut. More at 11.

The only things I've ever heard about Phil Fish are that he made Fez and that he is a massive dick.

[quote]Systems are in place to prevent that.

When you buy a game you're buying so much more than just the visuals of it. Watching a movie on Youtube is no different than from a DVD, buffering errors aside, but watching a game on youtube is wildly different from playing it yourself. Please, do leave the games industry, you're a cancer on it.

who even plays fez

Guess the revenue he sells from a game, which is something you play not watch, is clearly not enough for him. I guess that yacht bill is coming up quick.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;45146080]With nintendo wanting a cut from their games I don't see this as any different.[/QUOTE] They sooo u-turned on that decision a while ago [editline]18th June 2014[/editline] As with most companies they just wanted a cut, not near-full-proft

"random internet person has disagreeable opinion" as far as we know, fez 2 is still canceled so why is this news?

Losing [I]some[/I] revenue to the developer is something you can at least make an argument for. I mean, you [I]are[/I] making money off their characters but even still, it's kind of a hot debate. Comparing stuff like Let's Plays to piracy though? I would say he's lost his mind but he beat me to that punchline about a year ago.

I agree that devs should be allowed to make a small percent of the ad revenue of their games. But saying its piracy is hilarious

[QUOTE=dai;45146401]given this is phish he's probably still on his stint about how his game is a work of art and meant to be appreciated for its visuals[/QUOTE] Well anything can be considered art in any case, it just depends on how many people accept it as such.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;45146326]They sooo u-turned on that decision a while ago.[/QUOTE] Actually, [url=http://kotaku.com/nintendos-plan-to-work-with-youtubers-sounds-ambitiou-1591683075]not really[/url]. [quote]"When we unveil our affiliate program it'll be clear how different entities can play," Fils-Aime said. "And likely there will be a place for the kinds of examples where you reference, like, look, 'All I want to do is capture some of the content and put it out there,' not add a lot of value. There'll be a role for that. "But, candidly, what we really want is folks who are going to work with us to create some unique, compelling content, because we believe that benefits both entities. Again, you look at that Mega64 video, last time I looked, close to a million views, and that benefits them and that benefits us." Fils-Aime said Nintendo initially began stopping some YouTubers from running ads on their Nintendo-related videos because it was working to protect the reputation of its characters on the video site. "The first thing we needed to do was make sure that the content that's out there was representative of the franchises. These are our lifeblood. These are our children. We needed to make sure that the content there was reflective of what these franchises are. The next step is working with the YouTube community to provide access to information, access to executives, to help them create world-class content, leveraging our franchises."[/quote]

But was it Phil Fish the asshole or Phil Fish the concept?

Let's Plays are like skipping paying for a cinema ticket and watching it on tv. Are we going to sue tv for not making producers as much money as a cinema release?

To be honest, if I was a partnered LPer, I wouldn't mind a fee on the videos I make so long as it is reasonable. If the fee is reasonable and it allows me to post videos without having to deal with copyright issues, I think that would work out well.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;45146080]With nintendo wanting a cut from their games I don't see this as any different.[/QUOTE] Nintendo is a big faceless corporation whose primary goal is to make money. Phil Fish is just some guy. You'd expect one to want money for nothing whenever they can get it, and the other to be all for fair use.

Fish being a douche again? I bet he's genuinely shocked at the backlash and will try to play the victim.
