TL;DR He was arrested for uploading a recording of the entire VN two days before the game came out, which, being a visual novel, debatably cost them sales from people who just read his video instead of buying it. It’s a bit like if someone filmed themselves turning the pages of a new Harry Potter book before the street date so everyone could read it.
Seems to me that it’s less “uploaded lets plays” and more “posted game footage before the game release”, and they nailed him for anything they could.
I don’t think piracy should be punished, but like, if you’re gonna do it, don’t post video recordings of yourself doing it before the game comes out my guy.
The game came out in 2011 though on Xbox 360. The 2019 release was just a port. If their argument is that he spoiled the story they’re full of shit. But it’s Kadokawa so that’s a given.

The 2019 release was a port, remaster, and the first international release.
