linkuan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi, is it possible to post gameplays of VNs and monetize them? If so what could be the conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would depend on the VN and the company that made it. In a general sense, monetizing videos of the entire game in pure form, with no voice over, cuts etc would literally just be stealing the game and is of course not allowed. Reading up on fair use and actually cutting the video correctly / turning off potentially copyrighted music etc might make it a bit less of a problem. Again though, it really depends on what VN it is and what exactly is in the video. Arcadeotic and DarkZedge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is if you have permission from the publisher and tehy have no problem with it... there are however companies such as sekai project that only allow gameplay to be posted of their vn's up to a certain point of it so others don't get spoiled and buy the game for themselves...there are a few youtubers who play vn's such as "The Anime Man" "Lost Pause" and a few other ones. so aslong as you credit the company themselves and permission is not a problem then you should be okay. That's my imput and what i know about it, others will know more for sure Arcadeotic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginSmasher Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Based on bigger channels like Lost Pause and The Anime Man, you won't be able to play the really good novels on Steam which means you'll be stuck with the Sakura Games.

Dergonu Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If I were you I'd make sure I did my research on each game / company I considered making videos off before actually doing anything. You don't want your channel getting copyright strikes right off the bat. Also, try to make sure you do something unique with the "gameplay". If it is literally just the VN and no commentary or anything of the stort, then its like I said above, pretty much just stealing the vn.

Codesterz Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It varies based on the VN. Such as Grisaia no Kajitsu you can only play so far into it. Which is unfortunate because I was enjoying Lost Pauses reactions for it. Princess Evangile seems to be alright, but considering the VN is average at best I'm not really interested in watching a lets play/reaction video for it.

CeruleanGamer Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Go do gameplay videos of untranslated VNs. Those are less likely to be taken down. Arcadeotic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If you add commentary it sounds like a let's play to me. Doesn't seem impossible to do. I think you are better off asking other let's players who do so. Or read the youtube terms of service or some legal stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
