If you watch the video, Nintendo offers terms governing use of their games in videos, and his videos were compliant with the terms.
- charcircuit 4y agoThose terms are not a license despite what the video says. Those are just some guidelines that detail what Nintendo may be looking for in videos they take down. Legally Nintendo is still free to take any of the content down that isn't licensed (eg. Some esport events get proper licenses).
- kevingadd 4y ago"Nintendo can do anything they want" is technically true even if they signed a license agreement with you, because they have a billion dollars to spend on lawyers. That doesn't change that they made an implicit agreement with the community by saying 'do this and you're good' and then issuing arbitrary takedowns on people who followed the rules. This reign of terror stuff is part of how they sell licenses, presumably.
