I didn't make it more than a few seconds into that, so here's something much better.

Turn closed captions on maybe

NITW bums me out so thoroughly I can only bear to play it for five to ten minutes at a time. I'm on day two after a couple months of owning it or whatever.

I keep expecting something spooky or sinister to happen at every turn. But no, it's just some broken brained girl and her weird enabling friends and doting family every time. I like this game a bunch.

The biggest loving irony is that the game is about rebelling against authority and here goes Atlus being a needlessly restrictive authority.

I can't wait until we get a full play through on PornHub or something.

Basically, Atlus is trying super hard to control spoilers. See their post here. They are threatening to hand out channel strikes and account suspensions if you play past a certain date in the game.

This killed an LP I was greatly looking forward to, and the news broke as they were recording the first few episodes. Big ol' bummer.

Hasn't the game been out in Japan for a couple months? And the official wiki has plot summaries translated into English.

Which is what makes this the dumbest thing they've ever done. I could understand somewhat if there was a simultaneous release if they wanted to do spoiler control, but this is like telling somebody to not look at a parade while you're standing next to it.

They could have released it in Brazilian Portuguese for all that matters. Spoilers get out once something has been made available to the general public, and them trying to stuff it back into the box with these draconian streaming restrictions just show they don't understand the internet.

It's more than natively speak Japanese, but I doubt it has as many people who speak it as a second language.

Edit: Also wasn't my point of picking an 'obscure' language, it was just the first one I thought of that people in North America were unlikely to speak.

"Spoilers" was probably just Atlas USA trying to soften the blow. Atlus is a subsidiary of SEGA now and they're notorious notorious for these sorts of bans. They're banning streams of Puyo Puyo Tetris (a puzzle game). I guess some way or another they think streaming will hurt sales.

Tingle tingle kooloo limpah.
These are my magic words.

Don't steal them.
It comes from a research paper that came out of Japan recently that claimed that streams and let's play seriously negatively impact sales of games.

The paper was decried as being poorly-researched, not peer-reviewed at all, and overall just a bad piece of science that made the exact wrong conclusion based on past history, but Japanese game companies still ate it up and are basically following what it says anyway since it's basically what they wanted to hear in the first place. Sega's just the first company to be putting it into practice.

Well Japanese game industry, it was nice knowing you. If you keep on this course in a few years it will be just Square Enix, Sony, and Nintendo left because nobody outside of Japan will be buying your games (because you don't buy ads and you're banning your major source of free advertising) and there aren't enough people in Japan buying games to sustain you outside of like, a handful of doujin outfits and the aforementioned big three publishers who also own larger international studios.

Sega and Squenix have a large enough stable of 'western' games that they will weather just fine. Sony might get done in by it's movie division, of all things.
