It could be even better for content creators if their pay from YouTube Red viewers is based on views and not on ads. After all, many ads can be skipped, so a content creator has to rely on ads that can't be skipped and on ads that viewers choose not to skip when it comes to free viewers.

Same way really, based on the number of views their videos had from subscribers during a set period of time.

So you don’t believe content creators should be getting paid for their work?I’m guessing you’re one of those people who also believe they’re entitled to pirating music and movies.

The actual emulator itself is not illegal as it is a clean-room virtual machine.

Just wanted to mention that sometimes the real problem is the bios. The operating system of a console is as copyrighted as the games. For example you can freely download PSX and PS2 emulators but need to make a bios dump from your console yourself.

Even then the emulator itself isn’t illegal. Like how guns are legal but can be used to do something illegal. Some emulators are designed so that you still need a legitimate original disc or cartridge of the game. Even those can usually be exploited into recognizing ROMs though. Nintendo and other software companies…

Nintendo’s viewpoint is of course skewed towards IP protection and motivated by an extremely conservative Japanese company culture. I agree (and separately, US law agrees) with some but not all of what they say.

I’d like to point out that Nintendo is in fact, 100% wrong. You can play back TASes on 100% stock equipment. Standard NES, standard cart. The only thing non-stock is the machine pushing inputs through the controller port. See: AGDQ/SGDQ TAS blocks.

Except NO!!! it’s not necessarily using a pirated copy of a game. It’s fair use to back-up your own software.

I thought Sony sold them off?

If there’s one thing the comparison video illustrates, it’s that talented voice acting can’t elevate god-awful writing.

The reason Quiet wears that bikini outfit is that she breathes through her skin, using photosynthesis to absorb air, water, and nutrients. She has to do this because her body is infested with parasites.

That, and Minecraft’s crafting system is almost entirely unlike coding.

Plus points for knowing Minecraft exists. Minus points for COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF COMPUTERS. This is a “Series of tubes” level analogy.

The issue is that channels like SkyVSGaming and TheSyndicateProject were making videos that appeared to be fair, honest coverage but were actually undisclosed advertisements for Microsoft.

What’s so hard to understand?

I am the only one that used to get big groups of friends together to play and watch games get played? It’d be 6 or 7 of us and we’d play through Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, the Silent Hill and Fatal Frame series, older games like Contra III: Alien Wars and the like. It was always a blast! I distinctly remember…

Well, like you mentioned, Twitch already does this with archived vids. It’s not a huge deal to streamers because they get most of their money from subs and donations. With Youtube I believe you get to monetize the stream so you are earning a bit with each stream. I haven’t had a chance to test it all out yet but I…

No, it’s actually a game about mourning over the death of a comrade by going snowboarding.

No, it was about cross dressing and hot tub orgies.
