Some of you may have heard of the "Unfair Competition Prevention Act" in Japan. If you haven't, I think you should read up on it and those who live in Japan may have to read the new lines on this law.
Japan has now made it illegal to save edit any game. No matter how little the edit may be, you could face 5 years in prison or fined ¥5,000,000. That's roughly $46,360. Maybe both if you're caught and found guilty.
This law applies to everything. Be that the Switch, PS1 or your PC games. So be careful what you do with your games, Japan. It may just come back and bite you for just changing that one byte in your save.
What do you guys think of this? Was it wise of them to implement such law? Or will this go down in smoke? Who knows!
