Square Enix has responded to claims it removed datamined details and anonymous comments from staff who worked on Life is Strange: Double Exposure at developer Deck Nine Games.
The spat comes amid a period of tension between some diehard Life is Strange fans and both Deck Nine Games and Square Enix, sparked by story elements in last month’s Double Exposure.
Square Enix has now acknowledged it was behind the DMCA strikes, but said that “all steps were in accordance with appropriate legal requirements”.
Specifically, some fans – particularly those who post on the r/Pricefield reddit – were left disgruntled by the game’s handling of fan-favourite character Chloe.
