Yep. This has always been the case with my import copy of Puyo Puyo Tetris. If they preserve that stateside, this wouldn't be a new or shocking development.
Damn...wanted to find out what the story between the blocks were...
why sega!
They need a new boogeyman since Piracy on console is rather low nowadays.
Blame Anything, just don't admit the game sucked.
It's either that or he got sent to Sonic Team. It seems like that's where all the forward people in SEGA end up these days.
I was on the fence about buying this on Switch already because they're asking like $50 for something realistically worth $15, but now there's no way I'll support it.

Considering the game has been out for more than two years in other platforms in Japan... it really makes zero sense to put streaming restrictions now.

I feel like there was some young, forward-thinking exec who was part of Sega trying to shake things up in the past few years. He or She ended up either quitting or being fired and now the old guard is back in charge with old guard thoughts towards the internet.
You're probably thinking of Haruki Satomi, the CEO of Sega itself. The chap is still there, infact he's now the president of the whole company.
This would be a silly decision from the company considering they just released Yakuza without the same restrictions but as Sega have never really had unified company policy... It's hard to see where they'll go with this.
I'm assuming these were always in place and are just now being brought up due to the US release/Persona 5 discussion. The page mentions all the releases of the game.
I don't see myself ever watching a stream of this game, or steaming it. Restrictions or not. That's not the point though. I don't care about the existence of Puyo Puyo Tetris streams.Jesus, don't pass on a Tetris game because of this. Moral grandstanding over this of all things is whack.
If anyone was legit going to watch a stream of this game for the story and not the gameplay, then man your life must be pretty sad if that was your launch Tuesday plans. lol
If i watch a stream of this, it will be to see how skilled the pros are and hopefully get some good tips. A story in this type of game will be garbage anyway. Not the mode most will want to play or stream.
Sega Japan has a history of doing this to Western YouTubers, see the Total Biscuit vs. Sega situation from 2013.1000% sure tetris co. behind this.

The sad part is Sega has made massive strides when it comes to fan videos/streams, and this feels like a regression to earlier times.It's been over 3 decades and Sega is still trying to copy Nintendo.
Which to me is strange. Like imagine the Dark Souls community without YouTube. Would be a hell of a lot smaller.Japanese publishers really dislike youtuber/streamers it seems.

Oh, and while I'm here...
Fight me bro.
Seriously though, I hope you all get the game and feel that it's worth the asking price. We put a lot of love into it!
Hell, this is probably more like squeezing water from a stone. Persona 5 is amazing, Puyo Puyo Tetris is a damn sight better than Ubi Tetris by most accounts, and P5 at least is already doing damn well. This is control freak at worst, "how can we minimize ANY loss?" at best.They need a new boogeyman since Piracy on console is rather low nowadays.

Atlus/SEGA USA probably fight as much as they can to stress that this stuff tends to piss people off outside of Japan (probably does in Japan too honestly) and are often more successful than not probably. Just with Persona 5 they put the foot down and went "no, this is our most valuable narrative driven game, and it's plenty popular over there. We're not allowing it."That's why it seems shitty. Restrictions just for the sake of restrictions.
It's as if it was done out of malice towards customers, it's not like some small publisher trying to stop footage of a game coming out to 'hot mess' reviews or with bad graphics that need to be hidden. Someone watching a 100hr play through on YouTube can't be who you design your game's experience around.
Now that it's changed for the Western releases of Puyo-Pyuo Tetris, I don't feel like it is still an issue for this game, but sadly may be something SEGA/ATLUS try to continue with other title in the future.
