Alanah Pierce Gets Suspended On Twitch For Watching Public Zelda Footage
Nintendo is pretty notorious for going hardcore on leakers, but it seems like this time they kinda messed up, when they DMCA'd Alanah Pierce for reacting to a Zelda preview video made by YouTube channel SkillUp.
The 28-year-old influencer got banned mid-stream, because Nintendo considered her stream to violate their copyright of the game. The thing is, Pierce was watching a video with gameplay footage that had been approved for releases by Nintendo themselves!
It would appear that Nintendo DMCA'd me for watching approved Zelda gameplay lmao
