Forums - Sony Discussion - Atlus Threatens To Go After People Who Stream Too Far Into Persona 5

Kinda dumb if you ask me, I get people are sensitive to spoilers and what not, but if that's the case, they should be avoiding sites like Twitch in the first place.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Good on them. Dunno why it's normally accepted with games. When a new movie comes out you don't see tons of streams popping up from people watching the whole movie in the cinema...

Two entriely different issues.

How do you know they would have bought the game if they hadn't seen it  on YouTube?

My bro watched RE7 and now doesnt want to buy it.

Did anyone make him watch it?

Is there any proof at all that playthroughs lower sales of games?

It's like saying we can't talk about it here as well, 'cause people are reading about the game instead of playing it.
Reviews should be a crime, by that logic.

Nobody should support Atlus on that.

live streaming a movie in a theater should be fine then. people actually do that and then post them to the web to be seen. wanna know how much money I saved by not going to the movie theater last year??

seriously though, the good thing about reviews is that it doesn't give out spoilers.

Its his brother, I think he knows how his brother behaves.

But yeah, its an extreme measure.And Atlus wont stop people from streaming the game anyways



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Reviews give a lot of spoiler, about everything, the characters, the story, how the game works, some have lots of images and talk about secrets.

A movie is a completely different subject, though, a movie is made to people watch, it hurts it's directly hurts it basic purpose.
A video game is made to people play, watching it doesn't hurt it basic purpose, to be played, and thus is a non-issue.

 

::i did some editing refinements in my earlier post::

I'm going to have to disagree with that because just like movies, there are games out there that is heavy on story, your overall experience diminishes if you know all the plot twist, secrets and ending beforehand.

I'm just saying. Atlus is doing something extreme, but I get why. I get it.

Can you paraphrase the discussion, and tell me the date, place and events leading up to/proceeding the event?
