Persona 3 and 4 Streaming Guidelines Not That Restrictive

Atlus has recently revealed the Persona 3 and 4 streaming guidelines and they do not look that restrictive at all.

Persona 3 and 4 Streaming Guidelines Introduced

The guidelines for streaming Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden are now available. This is to prepare players when they livestream the games on their YouTube or Twitch channels. The guidelines on the list, however, look to be not that restrictive compared to previous games like Persona 5.

Just like in previous games, Atlus wants to prevent spoilers from getting leaked. Instead of getting to a certain point of the game and then getting the livestream blocked, the game company is now giving a lesser restriction. They are asking players to put “Spoilers” caption on the video so that others will be warned before watching.

Atlus also asks players to indicate the copyright holder when distributing content. Here are the labels needed:

©ATLUS ©SEGA

*If the “©” mark is unusable, “(C)” can be used instead.

Official Guidelines
