Nintendo Creators Program Ending As Company Reverses Course
An announcement has gone out regarding the Nintendo Creators Program ending very soon on the company's official Twitter. Details on the closure are expanded in a linked news post on the company's website.
Previously, Nintendo wouldn't really allow people to monetize videos on YouTube featuring any of their games. The Creators Program was first announced back in 2015, intended as a sort of middle ground solution for all involved parties. YouTubers would be able to monetize their videos by registering with the program and Nintendo would get a portion of the revenue the YouTubers took in. The program saw a number of issues including an eventual ban on YouTube live streaming in 2017. That is all changing with the announcement of the Nintendo Creators Program ending.
The program is set to close by the end of December 2018. Any pending applications to the program won't be processed and no new applications will be accepting. With the Nintendo Creators Program ending, YouTubers and other content creators will generally be free to upload content featuring Nintendo's vast library of games.
