Quote from: SlowPokemon on February 10, 2014, 09:59:45 AMIn my opinion, having no budget for games doesn't give anyone the right to experience them for free.
typically i would scream "FAIR USE," but i do agree that LP channels shouldn't be allowed to monetize on their content. And like I said, a lot of times I won't even watch the gameplay; I just find their commentary humorous occasionally.

I'll concede to that.

This thread is unpopular opinions.
There's a raging debate on whether let's plays should be allowed or not.  I'm merely just trying to possibly get a chance to point that out.

Because calm isn't always fun!

But you're blaming me in that post for some unknown reason.

LPs without commentary are boring, and I don't think people can make money off of them. LPs with some sort of dialogue are technically their own product because they provide something like a review of a game, and are therefore independent from the product of the game (i.e. TheSunlightBlade on Dark Souls). People who play games to show their reactions aren't making money off the game, but rather using it as a medium for entertainment (i.e. SeaNanners on Garry's Mod). As an analogy, the people who make the paper for books don't make money from the sale of a book.

From that, I would say that LPs that have something other than gameplay such as commentary should be treated as a form of entertainment in which the game is not the primary focus. In other words, people don't watch PewDiePie for the games he plays. They watch him for the way he interacts with them. Because of that, I don't think it's fair to say that people shouldn't watch LPers because it's better to play the game yourself.

Anyway, we should turn this away from the ragefest it seems to have become...

I think that iPhones are overrated and overpriced.

I agree: I personally don't like smartphones in general (or should I say "smart" phones?).

LPers basically act as commenters much in the vein of MST3K, and while it's not wrong to make money in that regard, a decent amount should be going to either the people who made it or owns the copyrights on it.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

As for an actual unpopular opinion that I hold:

I like Pokemon Black and White better than Pokemon X and Y.

I agree, but I didn't know that was an unpopular opinion.
