Hi everyone, you may have noticed that my latest video is no longer available. Overnight I was served with a copyright takedown from Nintendo and received a copyright strike from YouTube.
So as it stands, I will have to move on from this strike and simply make more videos focusing on what I love the most -- showing how to play our favorite games on many different platforms. I'm heading home from Europe in a couple days and will start making new videos upon my return.
Nobody makes me emulate more than Nintendo. For the first time ever, I want to cause financial damage to Nintendo. It frustrates me that I cannot hurt their profits more or really in any actually significant way. And its so sad, I used to really love Nintendo. But continuing to bully people to follow Japanese law who are not beholden to Japanese law needs to end. Immediately.
I don't want Nintendo to disappear. I just want them to do better. If they want to apply Japanese law, thats totally cool and understandable -- within the borders of Japan. I don't live in Japan, and my government afford me more protections from businesses than Japan does. The fact that YouTube does this and nobody except the extremely wealthy that would never run into this problem in the first place can do anything about it is disgusting. So I will do what I have been doing since 2017: telling the company how I feel by not buying their products.
