In fact, fuck the mainstream game industry as a whole.You must be registered to see the links
It's a sad day when Ubisoft are the least scumbag people in the room, but as of the time that I read that article a few days ago I'm more or less boycotting every company on the list of the ones that are trying to get rid of their free publicity. Granted, the only companies that produce games actually worth playing on that list are Telltale and Naughty Dog, so I'm not really missing anything besides The Last of Us and the sequel to the Walking Dead, but still. Fuck the games industry and their stupid, backwards, anti-consumer policies.
Imagine the damage if the likes of TotalBiscuit, Roosterteeth, Angry Video Game Nerd, or even the nigh-famous half-wit Pewdiepie left as well.
I'm gonna be honest here, I don't think any of those people 'earned' a damn thing by posting videos of them playing games. I don't know why they're allowed to have ads on their site if they're largely based around copyright material. I can understand a company wanting at least wanting the option to control some of that visual/auditory distribution. I would disagree with it, but they do have a copyright claim against these muddled grey lines of let's players vs critics and what law/rule people are using to show videos. But why the fuck can't it be played on a free account, one without ads?
