Atlus is disallowing Persona 5 Let's Plays.
Fans who don't want Persona 5 spoilers (like me) aren't fucking going to be watching LPs on Youtube to start with. https://t.co/9uLyY7rVrD

For example, I watch pretty much everything @2BFOfficial puts out... but I wasn't going to watch their P5 LP, because duh, spoilers.

But to say that they or anyone else aren't allowed to LP the game at all beyond a certain point is just asinine.

It's not like people are holding guns to everyone's heads, forcing them to watch Persona 5 LPs against their will.

Of course, I think the "don't want people to be spoiled" excuse for Atlus claiming LP videos is disingenuous, at best.

TL;DR version: Atlus is threatening to file content claims on anyone who LPs Persona 5 beyond a certain point, ostensibly because they don't want the game to be spoiled, and I think that's bullshit for a multitude of reasons, even if I had zero interest in watching any such LPs myself.
