Nintendo has officially announced the end of its Nintendo Creators Program. The NCP allowed members to register their Nintendo related online videos with Nintendo. As a result, Nintendo would receive a portion of the advertising proceeds from the videos without copyright contesting the videos.
The Nintendo Creators Program was a widely criticized program, that many believed was merely greedy on the part of Nintendo. Both Microsoft and Sony freely let players stream their game play to web services such as YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Watch where Nintendo did not.
Hopefully, this will encourage more players to stream their Nintendo games online. JoyCon Gamers will start streaming content in the upcoming future, so look forward to this.
