– UPDATE: Belgian Minister Wants EU Ban on Loot Boxes, Speaks Before Committee Ruling

UPDATE: In our original story, it was said that the Belgian Gaming Commission had ruled that loot boxes such as those found in Star Wars: Battlefront II and Overwatch are considered a form of gambling. However, the story has been updated that the committee has not issued a final ruling, though they are investigating. It appears a Belgian Justice Minister spoke ahead of the ruling stating that he wished to see loot boxes banned altogether in the EU.

GameStop-Exclusive Dragon Ball FighterZ figures hint at the game’s plot

Bandai America recently announced some GameStop-exclusive Dragon Stars figures for Dragon Ball FighterZ. What’s interesting about these figures, however, isn’t that they’re exclusive — rather the figures themselves clue us in to some details about the upcoming game’s plot.

The figures in question are for Goku and Vegeta in some alternate, red and black colors. However, these are more than just alternate colors, as Bandai Namco’s tweet specifically refers to them as “clones,” and that they have “arrived to threaten the safety of the planet.”

Combined with what we’ve seen in previous story trailers for the game, this seems to confirm that antagonist Android 21 is somehow involved in a plot to use clones of the series’ heroes for some nefarious purpose.

Both of these “Dragon Ball FighterZ edition” Goku and Vegeta Dragon Stars figures are available for purchase for $19.99 over at GameStop.

The Battle for the Stones finals will not use the December 5th patch of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Dante mains can breathe a sigh of relief, as Capcom has announced today that the Battle for the Stones finals will not use the incoming December 5th patch of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. While it could have been the ultimate test of whether players can adapt to new situations with little preparation time, Capcom wants the players to compete on “the version they’ve had the most time with.”

So Dante and the Reality Stone get one last hurrah before they are nerfed into the dirt by the new patch. However, I think Capcom should now change one of the circuit’s Stone effects to force players to switch to the patched version of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite for just one game…

The final set of 2017 DLC characters and the “Dante Must Die” balance patch both launch on December 5th, so qualified players should take their consoles offline, to avoid accidentally updating their games!
