What’s old is new again. In June 2020, Atlus shocked the internet by shadowdropping a Persona 4 Golden PC port onto Steam. But, while Atlus is now confirming it has been a success, something obvious by its placement on the charts and concurrent player counts, it is also asking something else of players. A message has been shared on Twitter asking people to help label or avoid Persona 4 Golden spoilers.
Atlus directed the statement about the game, which appeared on the PlayStation 2 12 years ago in 2008 and on the PlayStation Vita 8 years ago in 2012, at those who might be streaming in particular. It asked to please avoid Persona 4 Golden ending spoilers (there are multiple ones in this entry, due to the expansion content) and label critical scenes’ spoilers.
Here’s the full message:
From everyone at Atlus, we would like to thank the entire Persona 4 Golden community who have enthusiastically made this Steam launch a success.
While the game has been out for a few years now, for some, this will be their first time exploring Inaba and solving the mystery of the Midnight Channel.
Due to the game’s narrative nature, we ask that you refrain from sharing the ending, and to please insert a spoiler warning for any critical cutscene/s you wish to upload or stream.
This isn’t exactly new behavior for Atlus. Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, and Persona 5 Scramble all had streaming restrictions.
Persona 4 Golden is available for the PlayStation Vita and PC, while Persona 4 is available for the PlayStation 2.
