This guy wasn't nailed on the CSAM game alone. The game is an indicator that he's a person who is going to be consuming other CSAM.

I'm going to make the, possibly incorrect, assumption that it's more drawings of CSAM. If I'm wrong though then he should obviously be locked away.

That's not to say drawings of CSAM aren't disgusting or should be allowed online, absolutely no website should be hosting that stuff.

But this case didn't occur in the US and the prioritization of which CSAM to remove first shouldn't be a discussion, but rather it should be the allocation of more resources.

You can say 'more resources needed', but in austerity brained Europe, and tax averse US that's not going to happen.

In a world where authorities are letting 5 years year olds being tortured slide to protect the infants being tortured. There is a pretty clear hierarchy of priorities there.

My concern is that going after this person engaging in CSAM of drawings was easy, and going after the ones engaging with real children was difficult due to encrypted distribution channels. We're letting the big fish rub rampant and focusing on the smaller easier to catch fish.

I can see your point and perhaps I'm too idealistic to think the relevant authorities can walk and chew gum at the same time, but I am admittedly idealistic.
