Wait, how is that a different beast? Won't a review tell the story, critique it, show bits of the game and music here and there? It may even give crucial plot points for the sake of the analysis. I don't think there's any set rules about the amount of information the reviewers can disclose (I may be wrong though), so The problem is the full showcase of it? t
Do you know in what video games are different than any other medium? It doesn't matter how much one plays it, the result will always be different. The LPers run of SMB 1-1 will be pretty much different from mine and so on. That's what I've been saying, just because a person played through it, that doesn't invalidate the product or even the experience given by it in one bit.
Why are we discussing this again? Do you all still defend that Nintendo is eligible for 100% of the monetization? Frankly, having a sponsorship from them would be the best, but do you know how much that would limit people and their creativity? People wanting to be paid for their hard work, when the option is given, are no devil like you all make to seem. They could be making it for free, like people always did. But why is making a job out of it so horrible? Must I bring up that TV show again?
This may be a stretch, but the only difference between sports commentators and LPers is the sponsorship, nothing else. But it would be ridiculous for Nintendo to sponsor every single LPer out there. So they shouldn't make money and only the select ones should? I don't see why when they're pretty much giving off a better word of mouth for the games, rather than harming them and the makers, like you're all defending (which honestly makes 0 sense) and are not taking money off Nintendo either. Their approach on this subject is really bad. Honestly, I'm a big Nintendo fan, but this is a dickish move, as much right as they have.
