You've got it backwards. They're not blaming the Let's Play culture for existing, and they can see the value these videos add to gaming culture, what they're pointing out is the issues with revenue it currently creates. If the monetisation issue is fixed (they suggested leaving tips) then they can continue making storytelling games, and that appears to be in the interest of Let's Play video creators as well.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoYeah. Half-way through reading the post I expected the authors to start passive-aggressive legal threats, or something. Instead, they announced they removed ContentID from the music ( :o ) and only kindly ask the video uploaders to encourage people to tip them a dollar or two... This reaction makes me want to buy the game and tip them just because of their approach to the issue. EDIT: just bought. I don't have time to play it now, but I firmly believe in supporting people doing commendable things just because they do those things.
- sp332 11y agoThey're asking viewers to donate, which is a little different :) It's manually fixing the broken revenue sharing with the streamers.
