Nintendo In War With Zelda Youtuber Over Multiplayer Breath of The Wild Mod




/ 2 years ago

Nintendo has been recently been throwing copyright claims left right and centre and many of these have seen one popular creator see around 28 claims on videos related to Breath of the Wild and even other Nintendo titles.

Youtuber Attacked By Nintendo

Eric “PointCrow” Morino recently shared how he had received 28 copyright strikes on The Legend of Zelda videos as well as several that weren’t even to do with the Legend of Zelda which is bizarre as these claims are in regard to his footage of a Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod. PointCrow took to Twitter and YouTube where he urged Nintendo to leave his channel alone, remove the strikes and claims and at least talk to him about the issue.

Nintendo on The Warpath

PointCrow claims that the videos are in line with Nintendo’s content policy and believes that Nintendo are going against these guidelines to specifically target him. He also claims his modded runs of Breath of the Wild are not against these guidelines stating that “The mods I’ve commissioned are not being sold, and all of the code is custom, meaning they are free of Nintendo’s assets.” PointCrow said he planned to appeal the claims however the legal efforts and costs would be way too much and would jeopardise his channel.

Nintendo seems to be on a full warpath lately especially with its recent incident of them causing the dismissal of a GameStop employee for “leaking” the new Zelda edition Switch, all of this is irritating for content creators knowing Nintendo can easily abuse their power in this way. Pointcrow described it well with a Tweet stating “It’s hard to become excited for Tears of the Kingdom when the Zelda community is being nuked off YouTube”

Hopefully, this gets resolved though it is Nintendo so I highly doubt it.
