384 - 05/19/13 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Nintendo vs. Long Plays, EA Removes Online Passes
- Nintendo has partnered with YouTube to take ad revenue from content ID matches of Let's Play videos. Lots of people are upset, because they forgot that SEGA completely removed videos and Microsoft actually has the same policy.
- EA apparently hates the Wii U and is no longer making games for it...Is it because Nintendo said "no" to running Origin?
- EA also announced that they're removing Online Passes...What do they have up their sleeve?
- Then we take calls about the Let's Play issue, the upcoming (at the time of airing) Xbox reveal, and Yahoo buying Tumblr for more money than we at VOG have ever seen in our life.

1) I also use the good ol' text walkthroughs with RPGs...I prefer to set them up on my iPad so, while playing, I can quickly scroll to however much farther I've gone, search, etc. Like Bobby said...some video walkthroughs are based on assumptions of skill that might be lacking...
2) I'm in Nintendo's court on the whole Long Play thing. They could have been dicks about it, but they found a middle ground that preserves their IP rights while allowing the videos to exist.
