It shouldn’t if you install it as a separate app.

Sounds massive. These days it’s not necessarily a plus. Most times if games are this long they tend to get bloated with open-worldy filler. Let’s hope they manage to fill these 200 hours with fresh content.

The rumor you mentioned originated from an article by Jake Adelstein, an American journalist writing about Japan, especially crime/yakuza. He claims he knows a lot of insiders in the yakuza and often covered stories about them.

In one such story, he claims he let a few yakuza guys play Yakuza 3 and they seemed to like the game and even praise some stuff as true to life: https://boingboing.net/2010/08/10/yakuza-3-review.html

However, this article (and others he wrote about the yakuza) may very well be fake - there are many doubts if Adelstein even knew any yakuza at all. I think one of the arguments is that it simply wouldn’t be possible for a ‘gaijin’ reporter to get inside access into the yakuza to be able to talk to them like this, and some of the stories he published are too fantastical, involving sex, martial arts etc. - just makes him hard to believe.

Just saying this because I see this rumor repeated from time to time and while it seems cool, it’s probably just fake.
