The footage she was watching on her Twitch came...from Nintendo. And yeah she confirmed the strike was got was from Nintendo themselves. What the hell are they thinking?

EDIT. Can a mod update thread title to former IGN writer? I think she writes for Sony now.

 

[ManaByte]

Nintendo showing some good old Yamauchi ruthlessness.

 

[SeraphJan]

From a Youtuber (or viewers) perspective this sucks.

But If I were Nintendo, I probably would do the same to ensure ToTK's launch, some time the interest of different perspective just doesn't align

 

[phant0m]

Ok, but Alanah left IGN years ago?

She works for Sony Santa Monica now

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Better than striking their own twitter like Redfall did. But Nintendo is special as they tried not long ago to make youtubers and other influencers pay to have the right to use Nintendo content. A DMCA is nothing compared to that.

Yeah I updated OP already to ask for a mod. I need to tag someone DGrayson

 

[Robb]

Heh, Nintendo ain’t happy about those TotK leaks

 

[Ozriel]

Would be a nice turn of events if she sent a letter to Nintendo demanding compensation for lost revenue.

 

[skyfall]

Good news

 

[DenchDeckard]

Off topic, but I wonder if she had plastic surgery recently. Something looks different around her eyes and top of her nose.

Not that it matters, just looks different.

Why? YouTubers and twitch streamers are leeches who use false clickbait titles for views. I say let them all burn.

 

[Shubh_C63]

They must be using some AI to get these detected and send mass DMCA strikes to list of parties.

 

[Majukun]

My guess is some intern was sent to check on people streaming totk early and she got caught in the crossfire.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

I am sure she had plastic surgery. She talks about it a lot on streams sometimes.

 

[LordCBH]

Oh no



Anyway

 

[Portugeezer]

Yeah that sucks, unless she mentioned things which have been leaked.

 

[Mr Hyde]

If Nintendo are this ruthless to people just watching Zelda-streams on Twitch you gotta wonder what they'll do to the individual who leaked Tears of the Kingdom on the internet.

 

[The Skull]

Reacting to a video? So she's piggybacking off of someone else's work to make money? How about make some original content.

Couldn't you say this about everyone playing games on Twitch?

Oh, I’ve no love for these people.

Just wanted the chaos. Nintendo is known for being litigation heavy so it would have been something different to see them take some of their medicine.

 

[The Skull]

Couldn't you say this about everyone playing games on Twitch?

Absolutely but at least if a streamer is playing a game, it's their playthrough so their content that took some effort on their part to do. Reacting just seems to me to be one of the laziest form of clickbait crap.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Abby is that you!?

Good on her tbh, that takes effort.

 

[Roufianos]

Scum company continues being scummy, what else is new.

 

[Tsaki]

Obviously Nintendo is in the wrong here, but on the other hand it's Alanah Pearce, so I don't know. Letting it slide wouldn't be the worst thing

 

[Roman Empire]

Well, it happens. Just appeal to it and better luck next time, I guess. Can't do much when it's all automated and Nintendo is salivating to "stop" those LoZ:TotK leaks from spreading more. It sucks but it is what it is.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Needlecrash]

Nintendo being Nintendo. I'm not surprised.

 

[SCB3]

Off topic, but I wonder if she had plastic surgery recently. Something looks different around her eyes and top of her nose.

She was in a Charity Boxing match about 2 weeks ago so maybe that

 

[SCB3]

Yep, that axe is gonna drop one day and the fallout will be something to behold

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Is she preparing to do an audition for the Abby role in HBO's The Last of US Season 2?

What is with these room temperature IQ takes? Who hurt you?

Telling the truth is never a dumb thing.

Oh wait I forgot to add the one thing to bring it your level of intelligence …

 

[Raonak]

Nintendo is stupid.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Would be a nice turn of events if she sent a letter to Nintendo demanding compensation for lost revenue.

I was thinking this as well. Seems like this could in theory be a lawsuit.

 

[Saber]

Good riddance.

The so called facial harmonization demonization.

I am still suprised that she is a writer

 

[MMaRsu]

Its just an automated proces... Who cares

 

[Evil Calvin]

Abby is that you!?

Good on her tbh, that takes effort.

DO NOT compare that clown to Alanah

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

hello charlie here to say butthole and vagina while someone elses video plays

 

[Northeastmonk]

Maybe Nintendo felt like she was impersonating a previewer? Only authorized personnel can show footage of Nintendo’s new game.

 

[Captain Toad]

It's Nintendo. They love striking stuff and suing anyone they can.

This sounds like a mistake with someone caught in the cross-fire.

 

[ReBurn]

Its just an automated proces... Who cares

People with main character syndrome perpetually believe they're targets

 

[touchfuzzy]

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[MagiusNecros]

Looked up some stuffs. She is already unbanned. Nintendo had a false DMCA flag. A lot of stuff on Twitch is automated so it got triggered.

Nintendo is probably going to flag anything TotK related until launch day given all the leaks and Emu happy pirates sailing Wind Waker's Sea with reckless abandon. I'm sure the journalist drama primarily with Kotaku doesn't help either.

 

[Ogbert]

Good stuff Nintendo.

Keep those Sony shills honest.

Duck and weave. Duck and weave.
