I think it's actually very dumb. I mean, why go against the consumer base, especially when they did all the market research for you?

I think their reasoning boils down to "we are Nintendo and we can get away with this".

The sad part is just how hard a bunch of people will bend over backwards to take Nintendo's side on it too. Like guys, I don't think the corporate Goliath that is Nintendo needs your backup, you should probably be supporting your fellow consumers/content creators.

Which baffles me. I would have expected more folks to respond to Nintendo with an extended middle finger, followed by a silent boycott of their products.

This has nothing to do with consumer rights. It's entirely about cash flow.It could be equally argued that if the so-called content creators cared about consumers, they would be more than happy to make videos without monetary compensation. They aren't, meaning they are as much slaves to the public vices as the corporations they claim to police.

This argument falls apart when they takedown TAS videos rather than just content-ID them, which is now.

Nah, it's just a fun, goofy game that's made by a goon. Dude who made it has made quite a few little bullshit games, like who about a dog who keeps getting bigger and knocking into poo poo.

So I cut to the middle of the video somewhere. "This is so hard!" he shouts as there are a mere three dads of very different skin color, visible for a very reasonable amount of time for someone with eyes to pay attention and understand where to go immediately before the shower curtain covers them. The dads he picks are on the opposite end of the room of the correct dad.

You'd think he actually dropped out of Kindergarten instead.

I haven't watched the video. I get the feeling people don't watch PDP for any semblance of skillful gameplay. Just a series of poor decisions which is being extravagantly rewarded.

So I guess I'm saying PDP is a reality TV series along the lines of Real Housewives of Whogivesafuck except with video games.

So it's like Hell's Kitchen but instead of the part where people smoke while yelling at each other it's just more of them utterly failing to cook a scallop.

This invites a valuable question - is regular bread better than burnt toast?

After all, if DSP cannot work the toaster, and thus is forced to prepare a sandwich instead, would it be better than the other competitors' burnt toast?

I didn't mean it that way; any time someone tries to pass off someone else's work as their own, it's lovely. I just meant that I was having trouble identifying a motive for it. Usually when people plagiarize, it's because they expect to benefit from it in some way.

Yeah its the EVE stuff I do outside of the LPs. It's really dumb/silly. I told the person to stop nicely and to just embed the videos on the site they're putting this sort of stuff on so hopefully they will.

Edit - EVE players have unironically used DMCA takedowns against people they dislike/are at war with. It's super petty.
