GN Version 5.0

After a number of years where content creators felt burned by Nintendo's regulations, the company has finally decided to change up their restrictions on monetization for YouTube content. Creators and fans the world over cheered the change, and YouTube feels exactly the same. Check out Ryan Wyatt, global head of gaming and VR, content and partnerships, at YouTube Gaming, talking about the change below.

We obviously have community guidelines, but we’ve been happy with–look at Nintendo’s announcement, where they’re embracing game creators and allowing them to monetize on the platform. I think we’re making great progress in that regard. We try to be an open platform and allow any content that comes up, but certainly we have community guidelines that people need to adhere to. We try to embrace the freedom of the platform.
