Kemco officially has strict guidelines for streaming & fan-works of its games

Today I browsed Kemco's official website, and learned that they have a moderately strict set of guidelines for Fan Activities, Gameplay Videos, and Streaming. It's in multiple languages; this link connects to the English version:

https://www.kemco.jp/guideline/fan_movie_EN.html

The one that stood out the most is "Gameplay videos or streaming of the entire game content is prohibited. Approximately, between the one-third and the half part of the entire game may indicatively be tolerated."

So, they're explicitly against having a full playthrough of their games streamed on a service like Twitch, or uploaded to YouTube.

I am absolutely not going to venture any personal opinions about Kemco's policies. I was just startled to learn that they exist. I'm posting the link so that anyone browsing this forum also knows that these policies exist.

Thanks for posting. Back when this site started, it was just "don't do anything that would put Kemco in a bad light." I'm glad I never posted a ton of videos (and, I'm pretty certain any videos shared on RPG Insanity are safe.)

What I am reading there is they are against any full gameplay videos being uploaded and used showing the game in it's entirety.

So would this count for say.. showing the first hour/hour and half of the game?

Also, what about people who upload walk-through guides to the game but split it over many videos? technically each video is not showing the complete game in its entirety as what the rule says and is split up just like what the rule says is acceptable.
