Just a few days after its release, Eldon's Ring of Law has become one of the most popular games on various streaming platforms. Due to the depth of its gameplay content, and the sheer difficulty on The Map that FromSoftware has carefully set up, For many streamers, Eldon's Ring of Law is sure to appeal to a large audience. However, FromSoftware recently made changes to its guidelines, killing the idea that Japanese streamers can monetize it.
Some Japanese industries have fairly strict policies when it comes to the use of copyrighted works, and content creators need to be careful when it comes to sharing their work. Recently, the Japanese Twitch anchor and voice actor Yu Asakawa, who is known for her voice acting in the "Fate/Stay Night" series, posted a tweet expressing her complaint that FromSoftware prevented Twitch viewers from tipping the "Eldon's Ring of Law" anchor. Because she couldn't close the tip channel, she had to broadcast "Eldon's Ring of Law" live through Youtube.
The reason FromSoftware implemented this policy was that studios didn't like streaming money from Eldon's Ring of Law, but the rule didn't apply in previous FS games, such as Dark Souls. In any case, the policy is rather frustrating for Japanese streamers, though it may not affect the rest of the world.
In any case, it's curious how long this policy will last, and oddly enough, this is The First Similar Ban from FromSoftware, after neither Dark Souls 3 nor Wolf: Shadow Dead Twice received any donation bans on Twitch.
You can now play Eldon's Ring of Law on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
