Arc System Works Reaffirms Anti-Harassment Policy Across Social Media
The reaffirmation signals that Arc System Works is actively enforcing its year-old anti-harassment stance, aligning with a broader industry trend as other major publishers like Square Enix and Capcom have recently formalized similar policies.
Reporting from 2 sources: GameBusiness.jp, Inside.
Arc System Works reposted its customer harassment response and social media policies on May 19, following a similar post from the Guilty Gear official account on May 14. The policies, established in March 2025, warn that persistent attacks and defamation exceeding socially acceptable bounds will result in blocking and reporting. The company has not disclosed a specific trigger for the renewed statements.

The move comes as the gaming industry continues to formalize anti-harassment measures. Square Enix published its own policy in January 2025, and Capcom followed in July 2025. In April 2026, a case was settled where an individual who harassed an employee via video sharing sites apologized and paid compensation.
