Video Game Port Cancelled Over Sexualization – Omega Labyrinth Z’s North American port has officially been cancelled by PQube, marking this the sixth region the game has been pulled from. The game apparently features the over sexualizing of minors, even allowing you to “stimulate” some of these characters with the controllers joysticks. While Japanese games can be very sexual, as Japan has different stands in that regard, the fact that some of these characters appear to be very young is also a major sticking point for its cancellation. It should also be noted that Japan has a far different standard for what is deemed sexually offensive. So it’s not at all surprising that so many markets are pulling the game. Here’s what PQube said about the decision;
PQube strives to release Japanese content for its fans as close to the source material as possible. In the case of Omega Labyrinth Z, while PQube has worked with all relevant age rating bodies in their respective territories, PQube must respectfully comply with the wishes of the platform holder and have therefore withdrawn any future plans for Omega Labyrinth Z’s European and North American release on PS4 and PS Vita.
Legends’ Reveal Season 4 Threat – Legends of Tomorrow will introduce mythical characters into this season as fugitives. The premise seems weak at best, and reinforces the idea that they should change up the gimmick of the show possibly to explore the multiverse. The panel for Legends at this year San Diego Comic Con released this statement ahead of July convention.
After defeating Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends were ready to ease off the gas. That was until Constantine arrived to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. So when all hell breaks loose, who ya gonna call? That’s right, the Legends!
