YouTubers Are Stealing From Game Developers - Fuk Dat!

Also another thing to ponder is if the let's play walkthroughs are so damaging why is it on my PS4 we can watch the whole damn game over twitch and Ustream? I figure Sony is gonna get sued by allowing it through their software firsthand...

Right? Aint nothing illegal about walkthroughs on youtube... Just like metallica lost the piracy battle by killing napster because look what happened theirs a million torrent and pirating sites. the same thing with the mpaa, they think people gonna stop downloading movies??? you shut one down ten pop up....

These are the same devs that put out a half assed game and $20 DLC to go with it. fukk em. Twitch and YouTube has made me buy more games then not.

This. 100%. First, they told us that piracy was taking away from thier sales. Ok. They remedied that problem with charging 50 bucks for a game, then charging another 50 for maps, or whatever when they could have included that in the original purchase. Gamers accept that. Then they are started to do the in game purchases. Now these Muthafukkas are just getting too greedy.
The gaming community really need to not purchase thier next game. Do the same thing we did with Microsoft, and start bullying all these lazy ass developers trying to take advantage of us.

Blizzard actually handed out awards to streamers

Companies already have the ability to hit up twitch or youtube and have their games removed, but most of them aren't opting to do so. Why? Because they are smart enough to realize that they are getting millions of views for FREE, which would be very expensive via traditional marketing avenues.

I feel like youtube has been huge for fighting games and stuff. people don't wanna read faqs anymore the playthroughs to me are like visual walkthroughs and they give hints and tips that have helped me through some tough spots. This stuff is good for gaming not bad, and companies, especially Nintendo could use all the good shine they can get.
