    How exactly does this break “unfair competition” laws? Is this an online game with real-life stakes?

      Japan tends to have extremely corporate friendly laws. Basically if the corporation doesn’t want you to do it, there’s a good chance it’s illegal.

        Japanese law is very business-focused. For instance, their defamation laws give little regard to whether or not a claim is true; if you make public statements that hurt a business’s reputation, you’re likely to be punished for it. People often seem to not realize that Japan is a very conservative nation.
