These processes apply to infringing content shared prior to a game’s release, including leaks or confidential information due to breach of non-disclosure agreements and datamined content. No DMCA notices were sent regarding any posts outside of these circumstances.

The article lacks any content of the posts taken down. If they contained major leaks that could be an issue.
