    I don’t get how someone reviewing a product that may or may not come with unlicensed content makes one personally liable

      You need permission to show the game content on screen. This is Italy. There is no fair use in the EU.

    What a wonderful use of Italian police resources.

    Got the whole rest of the law sorted out did they? Bene
