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.
