@Totalbiscuit Royalties for what? people producing the coverage don't own the IP of the thing being covered.

-
@totalbiscuit mhmm. You guys are adding something and covering the game. Also most do not show the game in full. -
@danharibo Nor do we need to, that's the purpose of fair use.
-
@totalbiscuit actually, i'd be curious if IGN has to pay devs for each walk through they do. -
@Totalbiscuit Though I don't agree with his sentiment, that's kind of false equivalence. Most LPers don't ask permission from the creators -
@Totalbiscuit It's true sales are generated by LPs of good games, but you don't foist a loaf of bread on someone and say "now you owe me $1" -
@Totalbiscuit Right, I'm not contesting that. By what mechanism would content creators receive royalties for sales? -
@danharibo
@Totalbiscuit I don't think it was a serious suggestion. More "You are being dumb, have some more dumb" -
@Totalbiscuit Because apparently playing Fez is about as interactive as watching a movie. What a game! -
@Totalbiscuit Looks like he deleted his twitter account -
@Totalbiscuit He lacks critical thinking skills. Movies & music are the same every time you play them. That's why sharing them is illegal. -
@ChrisDude70@Totalbiscuit of course. That doesn't mean people aren't free to explore the idea. -
@StegerGames of course, which is why you don't see content creators running around demanding money for it in the first place -
@StegerGames The Quid Pro Quo already exists and seems to work well, however if that was disrupted then there would of course be pushback -
@danharibo interestingly, if this Steam User stores thing goes through, that's exactly what we'll see happening.
-
@Totalbiscuit give me the option to give devs 20 - 30% of revenue and remove my need to join a network, I would do it. Unless Polaris obv. -
@danharibo
@Totalbiscuit Devs giving you tubers $ for covering their game? Its called sponsored videos. The thing 'everyone' hates. :P -
@tbskyen@Totalbiscuit the case could be made for 'art' games, but those really need to drop the pretense of being games in the first place. -
@Totalbiscuit I try to approach the reality vs the ideal. Some devs don't want their games "spoilt" by LPers, but LPs are a known thing
