This is disgusting and only making their PR surrounding the game even worse. It's blatantly obvious they just want to make sure anyone interested actually buys the game and doesn't watch streams.
Can't wait to see the inevitable Jimquisition on this.
Also can't wait to pick up Persona 5.

I'm just waiting for the posts here that will somehow defend Atlus' actions. Because, of COURSE there will be people defending them here.

Haha fuck literally all of this shit. They can't enforce this garbage even if they tried.
Joke company.
Joke company.
Since when do we have to respect shit like this?
Yeah, there's a quote in the full blogpost about "our masters in Japan" that make it clear this was an order from above.
I mean, I understand not wanting people to be spoiled on the story, but like... this is some shit that came out months and months ago in Japan. If people want to spoil things they will do so.
The policy should really be that you can stream and post videos and we won't get angry unless you're purposefully trying to ruin things for others by not marking spoilers, etc. Basically content ID the shit out of things that don't clearly state where they're from in the game.

Fucking dumbasses, screw off your outdated shitty policies.
Nope.

I can understand japan doing stuff for the music in numerous games. Since they seem to always do the laws on that oddly over there. So having a game soundtrack muted suck and is understandable. But when your entire platform is nothing more than lying about wanting to protect people from "spoilers", it's a bit too ridiculous to defend in any matter.
Eh, not every company has to go with the times. They will get ridiculed for this for sure. What I'm more interest in though is how or if this will affect sales in any way. That's the story we're always hearing, how streams help to sell games. And I'm sure that's true for indies and online multiplayer games but for a niche game such as Persona I'd love to see actual data on that. Or at least this "experiment". While this is clearly backwards-thinking, it could be an interesting thing to observe.

I still haven't let it sink in that they are seriously threatening getting people suspended for streaming a video game. And then they're dressing that up in the smarmy passive-aggressive "we worked hard on this game and we love our fans and we may cherish your feedback uwu" shit that all their PR/blog posts take.
It's fucking insane. This might possibly be the best game where the publisher completely fucked up absolutely everything surrounding it. Just in complete shock at how actively malicious and spiteful this is.

"Not even Nintendo would" is a good way to sum up ATLUS decisions in a nutshell

I don't think so, they just blocked the sharing feature and that was it.

Does someone in Japan think that the Giant Bomb Endurance Run cost them like, eighty million bucks?

No we don't.
I don't know that they put out a specific message like this (I don't think streaming is as popular there in general), but PS4 sharing is also blocked in the Japanese version and Atlus JP has been aggressive with taking down YouTube videos with game footage.
yes there are huge spoilers but there is literally nothing to warrant this policy
We can't observe this because it's impossible to know how much Persona 5 would sell without these "guidelines".
There's no valuable data to gain.

This is the most Atlus Japan decision ever.
