> Nintendo has been issuing copyright strikes against content creators that use gameplay footage of their games, even though it is clearly allowed by their Content Guidelines

Would everyone please stop pretending like a company's "content guidelines" can enforce any restrictions on fair use purposes?

Making a cosplay costume of a character is fair use.

Making a video of you playing a game is fair use.

Fan art about a video game is fair use.

'Content guidelines' pretend to "give" you rights you already have, and then threaten to take them away if you do thinks they don't like.
