For other titles, we preserve cutscenes on video streaming platforms.”

So, three cut-scene videos of introduction chapters is preservation for them. Like keeping 4 pages of a full written book. Nice respect for art and those who support it.

The story for that game is so freaking vital.

That is quite delusional.

And yet…. fans do this exact thing, for free most of the time. Hmmmm

It’s not like they needed justification when Japan is culturally against all “””””possible””””” routes of piracy because it depletes their ultra-revered creator and corporate’s imaginary health bar.

Always great for game development. Did you have dead-game sandwiches? (Tax exempt, of course)
