A Twitch streamer who casually streamed more than four hours of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon's Dogma 2 gameplay a full week before release says they bought the highly anticipated RPG at Walmart, have receipts, and weren't doing anything illeg♎al.

As I was writing this story, Twitch streamer JustIchor was still streaming Dragon's Dogma 2 despite its street date still being a week out. That is, until they were inte🥂rrupted mid-stream by an off-camera comment just before the screen froze and was replaced by a blank page : "Content from this channel has been removed at the request of the copyright holder." Welp. 

Needless to say, Capcom surely wasn't happy about someone revealing more of its biggest new release than any official trailer or showcase has thus far. Frankly, I'm astonished tha🐓t it took as long as it did for the stream to be taken down.

The streamer, who at one point entertained a crowd nearing 1,000 viewers, was asked multiple times to address the likelihood that Capcom's lawyers were rubbing their hands together this very instant, but they said they aren't worried. "I legally bought a copy and I have a receipt for it," the streamer said. "There's nothing illegal about the way that I'm playing at all," addin❀g that they were also playing through a VPN, presumably to avoid a dꦯirect, identifiable connection from the game to their network. Clearly, that didn't stop a copyright takedown from Capcom. 

We had a chance to play Capcom's long-awaited sequel ahead of launch too, albeit in a slightly more formal way not sourced from Walmart, and you can read all about our experience in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon's Dogma 2 hands-on preview.

It's still too early to say whether the sequel will earn itself a spot on our ranking of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best RPGs ever.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, an꧅d writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
