Do you recall Disney reacting like this when spoilers of Rise of Skywalker leaked? (The answer is no) 

Its not just discussing unpublished work, it’s also people just talking about their reactions to it without context and without saying spoilers. And that does NOT fall under the 1%. 

Edit: in essence it boils down to Sony limiting negative word of mouth because millions of lost revenue is on the line. However by being this aggressive they are only ensuring negative word of mouth both online and in person. People with any belief in checking corporate abuse will notice this. 

Disney not doing it doesn't mean no one can't, shouldn't or the law isn't that way.

Nintendo is the only one that pressured to take down let's play type of video (and they don't configure fair use, since they show the complete game and is the main focus and product, the voice of the streamer is just a small addition), the fact that Sony nor MS does it doesn't mean Nintendo isn't on their legal right to do. But yes for the released games Nintendo banning everyone except their subs to do yt is over reaction, still legal right.

The review embargo ends 1 week before the game releases, did you know it? So it isn't about limiting negative word of mouth, it is about protecting from leaks, spoilers and imprecise portrayal of their product, and sure protect their money that is their right. Again the creator of something have more right to make money of it than any other part have right to make money of it.

To be fair the leaks are real. So talking about them isn’t an imprecise portrayal. It may lack the full picture of the events leading up to leaked scenes but the scenes are real nonetheless. 

Again I can’t stress enough how wrong it is to blanket ban everything especially non spoiler reactions and non context discussions. It’s wrong plain and simple.
