I don't think people remember, but there was a time when no twitch streamer or youtuber would play Nintendo games because they fucking take down their streams for copyright infringement.

I owned Mario Kart 8 for Wii U and it had a feature to record gameplay and post it to YouTube.

I post a clip once and they fucking claimed ad revenue on it.

What a brilliant racket. Have people do all the work of getting a channel going, then claim the money for yourself.

Sue them back, for a feature built in!

That's not entirely true, you could keep the videos up if all the ad revenue went to Nintendo. In other words, if you paid them so you could promote their game.
