Atlus Apologizes, Updates Persona 5 Streaming Restrictions
Earlier this month Atlus released strict rules for streaming and posting late-game Persona 5 content, but now the developer is changing its limitations in response to fan criticism.
Atlus announced that players can now post and stream videos up until the in-game date of 11/19. Previously, players weren't supposed to post anything past 7/7.
"We also want to apologize to those of you who saw the previous guidelines blog post as threatening," Atlus said. "We want to be transparent about what we do, and the reason we released the guidelines was to give streamers the right information up front. It was never our intention to threaten people with copyright strikes, but we clearly chose the wrong tone for how to communicate this."

Wrestling: Bray Wyatt Should Be RAW’s Top Good Guy
We're a week deep into the SuperStar Shakeup and it looks like the ointment is taking effect. There's a tingling happening. A noticeable new smoothness. We're seeing a handful of once-lesser Superstars really benefit from the the whole RAW/SmackDown switcheroo switchback.
The most notable, naturally, is Jinder Mahal, though I can't help but cringe at the fact that WWE's doing a whole "evil foreigner/xenophobia" angle in this particular political climate. Yes, this heel caricature has been a part of wrestling practically since its inception, but this isn't exactly the best time to dry hump that old chestnut. That being said, it's still technically appropriate to chant "USA!" when Jinder comes out because he's from Canada, though we know that's not why people are chanting it.

Disneyland Guardians Ride Offers Six Different Experiences
The Guardians of the Galaxy aren’t only returning to movie theaters soon via Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, they are making their theme park debut, with the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout at Disney California Adventure park at Disneyland Resort.
IGN took part in a walk through of the attraction building a few weeks before the attraction opens in late May, getting a look at the big Marvel inclusions you’ll find inside, the story being told, and the experience – or, in fact multiple experiences – you’ll find on the ride. And, of course, the songs you’ll hear...
The attraction's storyline finds the Guardians team captured by Tivan the Collector (Benicio del Toro, reprising his role from the films, along with the core Guardians movie cast), and an escaped Rocket attempting to bust them out. While you’re waiting in the queue for the attraction, you are passing through some of Tivan's vast collection and there is a ton of note for Marvel fans. During our tour, we saw display cases containing an Ultron drone from Avengers: Age of Ultron, Warlock’s Eye from Odin’s trophy room in the first Thor, a Dark Elf mask from Thor: The Dark World, and Terrigen crystals (and other Kree artifacts) from Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. There are also familiar elements from Guardians of the Galaxy, including a cocoon and Cosmo the dog (both seen in Tivan’s collection in the first Guardians), and a Nova Corps uniform. On top of that, there are brand new items created for the attraction, including some from Marvel comics that have yet to make it into the films.
