A content creator was mistakenly banned on Twitch for streaming Zelda press footage, as Nintendo continues to fight Tears of the Kingdom leaks.
While some players have been sharing footage of Tears of the Kingdom from a leaked version of the game, SkillUp’s footage was part of a Nintendo-approved preview event in Australia where they were allowed to capture footage.
As such, Pearce was effectively suspended from Twitch for streaming Tears of the Kingdom footage that had already been pre-approved by Nintendo.“Lol, my Twitch just got suspended mid-stream because I was reacting to SkillUp’s Zelda preview video,” Pearce tweeted. “It would appear that Nintendo DMCA’d me for watching approved Zelda gameplay.”explaining the situation, Pearce added that Twitch informed her it had been Nintendo that issued the DMCA, rather than SkillUp or another third party.
Pearce was able to contest the takedown with Twitch as a false DMCA, and later had her account unbanned.The incident is one of many instances of DMCA takedowns being issued by Nintendo, as the release date for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom nears.at the start of May, and Nintendo has been trying to firefight the situation ever since, not only taking down footage of the game but also trying to prevent players from accessing tools that may allow them to play pirated versions.
Lockpick is a tool which lets players dump the unique encryption key from their own Switch so it can be used to play backups of Switch games onWhile some players claim this is legal for creating their own backups – something Nintendo nevertheless disputes in its takedown claims – one of the steps in playing pirated
games involves downloading someone else’s encryption key, a number of which are available for download online.
