KEMCO appreciates your continuous support. We are very happy and thankful to all the activities that help us spread our works and liven up them.
Recently, we have noticed there are many live activities such as posting our games’ gameplay videos on video hosting websites/social networks or streaming them, and we are proud to see people enjoying them in different ways.
However, for some games, gameplay videos or streaming might have the risk to become a spoiler which loses other people’s enjoyment or affects the value of the game itself, and hence affecting the overall creation of future games.
In order to prevent any such negative influence and to provide a safer experience for further enjoyment on fan activities, we have decided not to prohibit them, but to place a certain restriction.
We believe this will make a mutual benefit for both fans and KEMCO just with minor attention and heed. We appreciate your support and understanding.

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.

(e.g. editing the content in an inappropriate manner, disclosing excessive spoiler outside the tolerated content, including any slanderous defamation towards third parties, editing, posting or publishing ending scenes, cinematic and/or movie cutscenes, etc.)
