Patreon ultimately rejected the request, stating that emulation falls under fair use and since the page does not specifically infringe on the Persona IP, it shouldn’t be removed. In an email an Atlus rep said: “The PS3 emulator itself is not infringing on our copyrights and trademarks however, no version of the P5 game should be playable on this platform and the RPCS3 developers are infringing on our IP by making such games playable.” This led to Atlus attempting to get Patreon to take down the page, as explained in a Reddit post. RPCS3 is currently the most popular PS3 emulator around and has been widely used to run popular games, like Persona 5, which was mentioned a number of times times on the emulator’s Patreon page. Many fans managed to work around this by using the RPCS3 PS3 emulator, but it seems this caught the unwanted attention of Atlus, who attempted to file a DMCA takedown strike against the Patreon-funded emulation project. As great as Persona 5 is, the game is held back slightly by being limited to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles.
