In response to "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." by sweet cheesarella barbacorn

Why are they looking to profit off of these videos? It seems greedy and petty.

As I said on the other board, I get that they were taking it all before and now the people get something. I just don't see why Nintendo cares at all since this doesn't hurt their sales and is anything it boosts it.
This seems very greedy on their part.

It's like you don't get business. Businesses like making money. This is a way for Nintendo to make money. - Shaun Jan 30, 06:43 8
- In reality, they took nothing until a few months ago. So, they are total dicks here. - David Jan 30, 07:23
- And it seems like a very greedy and petty move on their part. I'm sure they're going to be rolling in those YouTube ad dollars. - Krusty Jan 30, 06:45 6
  - but this is *better.* if you had known yesterday what they were doing, today, you would be like, "this sisn't ideal, but it's better." -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Jan 30, 06:48 1
    - Better doesn't make it right. I knew what they were doing and I thought that was wrong too. - Krusty Jan 30, 06:51
