How?
How is playing a videogame different to watching a video? Really?
How?
That was his first one. In the follow up tweet to the one in the OP he says he bought a wii u, 4 wii pro controllers to start covering wii u games, but not anymore because of thisJust looked through his videos. Doesn't seem he makes much videos about Nintendo anyway.
Unless Nintendo took them all down, which i doubt.
It's not enough that I bought a WiiU, 4 pro controllers, 4 Wiimotes, 4+ games (~$900). They need to monetize when I share my play sessions.
You can't be serious.
There absolutely is good advertising, advertising is meant to show your product/service/ the thing you want to sell in a good light so you end up selling more of it.
Thats not what letting rondom people make money off your game on the intenet is.
Something tells me that those 2 million subscribers are probably otherwise aware of Nintendo.
Let's Plays aren't piracy.My response:
What if it's a "Let's Watch" series, where he narrates over "Let's Play" videos?
That's original content, right?
If you're going to attack someone get the facts right. He didn't want a Wii U, fans started a fund for it and he said "fine, we hit this goal I'll get a Wii U."Yep.
"Give me a Wii U so I can play those games for you, my fans"
"I CAN'T MAKE MONEY! THIS IS DUMB!"
i mean that you posting his content it's not the same of him playing a game (per se a transformative act,since he his playing an active part) and commenting on it.
if you make a video with his comment while commenting,criticizing it,then as long as you don't post the whole thing,it's fair use
but you have to play an active part..make the video your own
most of the "let's player" have their subscribers not thanks to the games (since most of them play the same games),but because of their personalities,their arguments etc..basically thanks to the active part of the video
It is really not. The thing is Nintendo don't take down his video. They only flag it, so they can still get some chump change and still got the coverage from the videos. That is what pissed off youtuber the most.He won't make any because he can't monetize them?
Sounds like he doesn't care about his fans or gaming, really.

Twitter's pretty garbage when it comes to displaying images.
Add 'rig' to the end of the URL and it gives you the proper upload.
Yeah, about the "free" advertising, I think any company would prefer to have a controlled advertising over the "free" one. He sounds so entitled.
Yeah, and the drama is not new. He's living Nintendo every 3 months. Really classy.
He has 2 million subscribers.
Nintendo and their products just stopped potentially reaching 2 million people.
Think about it.
It's clearly a loss for nintendo, it's not like i wouldn't play the game if i watched those videos, it's the other way around (they are, in a way, "incentives" to go and buy X game you found interesting).
But hey, they just lost some potential customers, no big deal. Guess the Wii U is doing so good they don't need more people to be aware of it's existence.
But he knew about Nintendo's policies before. He knew there was a high chance for the videos to be taken down.
Why even accept the money for a Wii U then ? If you are going to cry the first time you get a takedown.
How many Nintendo games has Angry Joe covered in the last year? How many views?
Also the Nintendo defence force in this thread is quite sickening to read.
He won't make any because he can't monetize them?

His Twitch fans donated to him so that he could get a Wii U and the games?
And he's going to call it all off because he's not making money on a segment of a uploaded livestream video?
Jesus, Joe.

He did MK8 and took it down, so technically 1.
Let's Plays aren't piracy.
can't say I agree with his rage.He didn't want a Wii U, fans started a fund for it and he said "fine, we hit this goal I'll get a Wii U."

Huh had no idea he had fans donate so he could buy a wii u? Was this documented somewhere?Most of his career he was all about Xbox Xbox Xbox
After a few years he discovered PC
It took him until PS4 to finally bother looking at Playstation.
He only has a Wii U because he "asked" his fans to donate him one.
Also, this happened to him before. Over Mario Kart 8. He's raging over something that he knew would happen. I think he might have a problem.

Jesus, Joe.
Brilliant. You could make a super awesome reacts channel.
Josh reacts to The Angry Joe Show!
You know the defenders in this thread are right. News websites should not put ads on their webpage because they are making money based on not their content./s
Still, it's pretty stupid that his fans donated money to him to get a Wii U, and now he refuses to cover it for them because "Wah I can't make money"
That's for a court to decide.
If you get too many take down notices they suspend your entire account.
Again, I'm really not someone who personally gives a fuck about let's plays, but let's be realistic, why would he spend time producing content that he won't make money on?
