“The PS3 emulator itself is not infringing on our copyrights and trademarks however, no version of the P5 game should be playable on this platform and developers are infringing on our IP by making such games playable” filed a DMCA takedown request directly to Patreon requesting the removal of Nekotekina & kd-11’s Patreon page for RPCS3 development. Promise.Ĭommunity manager SSShadow, on behalf of the entire team, has issued a statement on the Persona 5 takedown, and as expected - Atlus seems to hate us. Simple solution Atlus: put Persona 5 on PC, and we'll buy it.
You need to own the original game to legally emulate it, otherwise it is piracy. then they probably don't own a PS4 or PS3.įinally on their second point - and this is to the community, not Atlus - emulation is not piracy. Furthermore if someone's first experience of Persona 5 is on PC. But if you're emulating a game you need to be very aware of that fact, to start with, and we doubt you'll blame the game if RPCS3 crashes.

Unfortunately, when our content is illegally circumvented and potentially made available for free, in a format we do not think delivers the experience and quality we intend, it undermines our ability to do so by diverting potential support from new audiences. We want to keep bringing you titles like Persona 5. We appreciate the awareness generated by the emulation community for Persona 5 and know that it is a fantastic example of how much people are loving our game. And while we don’t have anything to announce today, we are listening! For now, the best way to experience Persona 5 is on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.Ģ. We understand that many Persona fans would love to see a PC version. We don’t want their first experiences to be framerate drops, or crashes, or other issues that can crop up in emulation that we have not personally overseen. We believe that our fans best experience our titles (like Persona 5) on the actual platforms for which they are developed. We settled upon this action for two reasons:ġ. "You might have heard earlier today that we issued a DMCA takedown notice involving emulation developer group RPCS3 and their Patreon page. As a response to RPCS3's statement on Reddit and the public scrutiny they're getting, Atlus has issued their own statement.
