Presumably Youtube asked the same question to Nintendo that Youtube did to Mojang, do you want to monetize your trademarks? Mojang declined earning off Minecraft's massive youtube impact[1], Nintendo wanted the cash.
And so we can clearly see Nintendo has lost its way and Minecraft is the the new Nintendo.

- antidaily 13y agoThis is key, I think. YouTube probably came to Nintendo. Like, sales guys. "Hey, here's 8 figures you could be pocketing".
- shawabawa3 13y agoWhy would youtube do that though? They get their cut whether it goes to nintendo or the channel owner, and in fact it makes a lot more sense for them to keep the money going to the channel to incentivise them to make more videos
- witek 13y agoThey could have given it as one of the reasons to entice Nintendo into the partnership program.
- tlarkworthy 13y agoyoutube videos are not monetized unless you turn advertising on. So presumably with mojang permission youtube would have been able to turn on alot more adverts.
- tomrod 13y agoI certainly agree Mojang has done some cool stuff, but they'll need to step up their game significantly if they're going to be "the next Nintendo".
