Theres a lot of factors as to why more games are sold now than years ago. Youtube might have helped, but most games now are selling on the merits of the franchise they belong to.josemlopes said:He may have some point with Youtube, I think that youtube is a great way to let other people that are not that much into gaming (that dont go to gaming sites) what games are out there.Jesus Phish said:They wouldnt? Jesus, how did the game industry survive so long without Youtube being around to make their games sell.Bajinga said:The bill is fair enough to things like music and movies. Games, however, are as X said,
"You know you can buy that game, and have that same experience yourself, but in your own way."
That's how games work, and without youtube, games just wouldn't sell.
Games never sold as much as now but they managed to mantain profit because of their production values, they are more expensive to make now and need to sell more to have profit.
Youtube (and other websites) may help a bit to promote the game.
I wasn't too specific was I? I meant that without Youtube, a lot of sales would go down.Jesus Phish said:They wouldnt?

I'd be of the mind that if it applies to movies and music, it should apply to games as they too are copyrighted however that doesn't mean I want to see it go through. I don't see this getting far. At least without being reworded.
The only thing that annoys me about let's plays is when the channels I sub to on youtube go and put one up with a spoiler in the title.
/shudder.....and without youtube, games just wouldn't sell.
I'm in the UK too, and most of the people I watch on youtube for games are based in America.this isnt my name said:Thats stupid, it wont heppen. Besides im in the UK.
Gammes are better off with youtube, I need to look at footage first, if I cant I may never have purchased some of them e.g fallout 3 and Bioshock.
I've been saying that for years. What we need to do is boot all the current office holders out, replace them with entirely new people (not one of whom's age exceeds 35), and then institute term limits for every office.kebab4you said:Even if it went through, how are they planning on regulate that much of the internet? Just youtube´s LP community alone would be impossible...
US really do need new people to govern for them, since these people still live in the 20th century...
this, and to be able to detect and monitor the amount of information going in and out on the internet for this...is maddening! there is no way they would be able to do that, AND ENFORCE IT at the same time.Phlakes said:That would be 90% of everything on media sites. Not gonna happen.
Clearly haven't seen the awesome LPs there is out there ):sonic500 said:No moer lets plays?
Huh.....That sounds like a good thing.
