The thing is they thought they could just give minor compensation to glb players because the rules are less strict I'm pretty sure that other countries also have their own laws, and would raise hell if the player base of those countries complained to them about it. The real reason isn't their laws in Japan, but the actual Japanese player base is, obviously, Japanese. It has nothing to do with their laws, but all the Japanese consumers ethics when dealing with that. The consumers in Japan are ballsy enough to eat a company alive if said company tries to shaft them. Shaft a Japanese player, and his wallet is closed off from you forever.

To prove this, just look at how the Japanese fans of anime reacted to the firing of a director for an anime called Kemono Friends. Just one director fired, but he made the show good, and the fans have mass disliked the sequel trailer because of that one shaft, with no attempts from the production company to appease them or fix it.

Nothing is legally holding them back from compensating BOTH sides, and they don't need to OVER compensate anyone legally, it's all just how the player base would react. Which shows that Japanese players tend to be more willing to act out when something happens. Which isn't really a bad thing. And most playerbases should be like that.

Money is what teaches companies a lesson. Not passive aggressive complaints here and there. And in JP's case, they took it upon themselves to teach Japanese companies a lesson quite often, enough that Japanese companies know better when it comes to the fans in their own country.
