Have you heard about Ed Kramer and the DragonCon boycott? I’m sure by now you probably have. But just in case, here are a few articles and some quotes from said articles that will help bring you up to speed. I’ve stated previously that I will not attend this convention as a working professional…
Some pretty crazy and important stuff. I know some of my old SCAD buddies who still frequent this con who I hope this will deter them from going this year.

Guys, it’s cool - Nintendo’s got it all covered.
In reference to this cool news. Screenshot taken from this Nintendo page. Unrelated to this, but Nintendo makes some very pretty PDFs for their investors.
Yeah, but… Let’s Players… are using their product? I’m not sure I see a problem?
Let’s Plays are as legally shakey of a prospect as selling fanart. It shouldnt shock anyone when the owner say “Hey… you’re making money off my stuff.”

“Waaaaaah, the money I earned by doing absolutely nothing is being taken away from me waaaaah”
seriously though, making a Lets Play channel that gets sponsored is FREE MONEY.
If Nintendo wants to claim the money that you get for playing THEIR games then that’s completely justified.
Not to say their aren’t exceptions. Chip & Ironicus do some amazingly well-informed commentary and great editting. They’re also really, really funny to boot!
Outside of them and the Game Grumps… there’s not much else I can think of who put, you know, effort into it all.

Remember that thing I was working on a while back? Well here’s the finished product.
Jon is pretty cool. Just look at this thing.
