I know people who don't play the games and have watched a lets play to get the story. It is taking money from nintendo which they would invest back into creating new games and hardware.

@darkgamer001 they would have nothing to play if nintendo didn't create the game/hardware in the first place. games require cash to pay the thousands of designers, programmers, artists etc etc so explain to me why nintendo can't profit from something they have created.

I think it is only fair that nintendo get the advertising revenue from these videos. any artist or creator who had their works uploaded to youtube should be able to profit from them that just because nintendo is a company doesn't exclude them from benefiting financially from their creations.

I don't think tying into another companies hardware is the way to go.
