I wonder how the police even got involved. The article says the NCMEC reported him? But was he streaming the game? Did somebody on Steam or Discord see his game activity and ratted on him to the NCMEC?
Anyway, I don’t see why the National Council for Missing and Exploited Children should concern themselves with drawings of fictional characters. Nor the police, nor the law.

“The 24-year-old suspect, from Sør-Rogaland, was charged with possessing the game as well as other illegal files.”
He had more than just the game, apparently.
Later in the article, it does explain that games like this do fall under Norway’s CP definition.
