Before you start playing Persona 5, a video game about stylish teens learning how to take care of a cat, you need to answer a simple question: Do you agree that the game is fictional?
If you say no, Persona 5 wonât joke around or repeat the question. It just wonât allow you to play. (Of course, you can just start a new game again right afterwardsâitâs not going to lock you out permanently.)
These days, to preempt lawsuits, a lot of video games start off with messages like that. âHey guys, this is fiction, so itâs just a coincidence if your name is also Kratos and you also murder lots of harpies.â But itâs not common for a game to deny you access until youâve agreed that itâs fictional, which is a very Persona thing to do.
Although maybe what Atlus really shouldâve done is made you promise not to stream
