Except Nintendo sells more software and has higher single platform attach rates than those companies.

Nintendo restricts specific story or game details being shown in video reviews and preview videos. Giant Bomb does a great job of illustrating these restrictions every time they encounter them in their "quick looks." That doesn't mean that Dan Ryckert had to give the game 5 stars because Nintendo made him. Journalist are able to have whatever opinion they want. Nintendo can't control that. What Nintendo can control is the video content, spoilers etc.

I side with Nintendo on this. You can't just use Metallica music in a video without their permission, why should reviewers make money off of Nintendos hard work? There are many ways he can do a video using Nintendo footage. He can go through their website and go through the proper channels, or he can use stock footage.

Yeah, I know I'm in the minority here, but every other media industry restricts copyright material, why are games different? Can't post a let's watch of a brand new movie and not have it taken down.

1 - Attacks?!?! It's their property!

2 - What makes a review, "honest?" I ask because 90% of the time an honest or "spot on" review to a poster on a message board simply means it justifies their decision (or inability) to buy a game.

3 - So what you're saying is you don't trust what any major site or publication has to say about a game? Do you honestly think Zelda BotW is actually a bad game that is being overhyped by the Nintendo controlled media?

@gigantrax: How would you know, can you read their minds? Dont trust no one in this world. And also, its dangerous to journey alone.

@gigantrax: It pays to be professional. AngryJoe cant do that though, majority of his viewers dont have jobs. He needs them clicks for big corporations.

@gigantrax: What about it? Are you anti game reviewers? Daniel Bloodworth doesnt use ads. Hes paid from his Patreon.

Do you seriously think Nintendo needs a Youtubers "free publicity" to sell copies of Zelda, or any of their first person titles? GTFO. But I can tell you who would really benefit from Nintendo allowing this. "Content creators" like Joe who get compensated on views. Nintendo doesn't need Joe, but Joe would sure love to get some extra clicks from "reviewing" Nintendo games.

Dev teams work countless hours over a period of years working on their games. How is it right for some guy with a computer and a camera to profit off of their work? He's not a journalist. He has shown on many occasions that he doesn't have a grasp on how game creation or the industry works. Being on his bad side doesn't hurt anything. As we will see with Twitch implementing the "buy now button," The majority of people who watch this stuff do not buy games. They are a bunch of entitled leeches. Joe was smart enough to capitalize on them. Gotta give him credit for that.

@gigantrax: He doesnt put on an act, hes real.
