Quake in Japan, Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4 canceled... why?

As we all know, a few days ago Japan was hit by a quake and by a tsunami.
The situation is getting worse everyday since nuclear reactors were damaged, and news all over the world speak about a nuclear meltdown.

Irem, a known japanese game developer, well known for more than 17 pachinko titles (pachipara series), was about to release a game called Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4: Summer Memories (also known as Disaster Report 4 in america).

The Disaster report series take place in japan, and the main topic is survival after a major earthquake (a flood in raw danger a.k.a disaster report 2).

Well... it seems that after all the incidents, Irem just decided to cancel the release of the game.
I known japanese people is going through a lot of pain and sadness.
I just can't see how cancelling a game can help.
It is very dissapointing for us, fan of the series.

If someone at Irem or close to them is reading, please release the game. You've worked a lot on it and we're expecting to play it!
