  1. Halloween: The Game Quietly Removes Closet 'Sex Minigame' Amid Backlash Over Underage Characters

    IllFonic's asymmetrical multiplayer game based on the Halloween franchise has removed a minigame that let two players' characters have sex in a closet for buffs, just days into its deluxe-edition early access period. The change wasn't mentioned in patch notes, but players and outlets have linked it to concerns that the mechanic allowed adult characters, including 56-year-old Samuel Loomis, to pair with underage playable teens like 17-year-old Laurie Strode or Annie Brackett.
