Not only does 'Aquatica' speak to a serious error in judgement by the staff at Ketara, it also implies a deep lack of respect for Jenova Chen and pioneering creators everywhere. Ketara have distinguished themselves as a studio of ill repute and this issue is an unfortunate stain on Canada and Toronto's otherwise solid reputation. THE 1 CONSOLE encourages Ketara to issue a full apology and to seek to make amends in future. THE 1 CONSOLE also commends Ryan at abootplay.ca for bringing this issue to light.
