The administrator explains that he took down the site after his biggest work client, a "certain editorial office", warned him that grass-roots movies are competition against their DVD products, and he should be careful about what he's doing.
Now, what kind of a stingy editorial office would ever go around doing that I wonder? Hummmm.
IMO, they're choking the Japanese game market.

On the other hand, YSO is back (and therefore their sister/temporary site 主力タイトル実績一覧 bites the dust).

I never heard the site before today. Did they host combo videos/speed runs/etc? And a company told them to shut it down? Sad...

By going through days and weeks through the process of elimination to examine the 3-5 game publishers in Japan, yeah, they're about the only one.
