I wake up this morning to find out that Nintendo will now be sharing profits from Youtube for people who are uploading footage from their games. - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Jan 30, 06:40 11
- Why are they looking to profit off of these videos? It seems greedy and petty. - Krusty Jan 30, 06:41 9

        Better doesn't make it right. I knew what they were doing and I thought that was wrong too. - Krusty Jan 30, 06:51
