phone toy isn’t directly marketed to them.

“These nerds”

Context, you don’t see it.

I’d offer the point that you’re ignoring the context of this game’s reveal. That it was marketed directly to a crowd of people it’s not being produced to be marketed towards. A crowd of people, both in person and at home who paid for access to take part in the event that marketing was within. And that this was all…

It *was* marketed to them. They announced this shitty reskin of a Chinese mobile game to an exclusively western, PC-focused, English-speaking audience, who I will remind you paid to be there. It was marketed to Blizzard’s core fanbase, and no one in that fanbase wants Diablo Immortal.

If I was being a dick, sure, but I’m not. The irony here is that this article is what’s “oversensitive.” Try to step back and see the bigger picture.

It’s a videogame about two magical swords battling throughout the ages all the while corrupting their wielders and the stories of the people seeking those blades. But sure let’s focus on the fanservice part, which by the way also focuses on the male body but I’m sure that doesn’t get any lady here negatively…

HOW you are still writing for kotaku?: are you fucking some of the owners of the page? because every fucking day you come here and do some feminist shitpost

As a straight male, let’s not shrink the breast. Why deny the existence of women with such qualities? Talim is gonna fit the role for those who want less breasts.

Objectifying virtual characters that don’t exist, or just general, natural sexual attraction or interest being used in the creation and marketing of a game?

I feel like this article is chasing a problem that isn’t there. If anything, it’s only criticizing me for being a man, which is something I will never apologize for.

How about we let them make the game they want to make, instead of trying to force your own personal tastes on them. Not every game has to appeal to every person. If you don’t like it, don’t play it. There are plenty of people that enjoy these games the way they are.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written here, but at the same time, I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with making a video game that is designed - in part - to titilate men. And there’s absolutely no reason such a game should not have good gameplay just because it’s designed to be sexy. But I don’t…

Well, they’re not the only ones to use scantily clad women to attract interest.

Fuck nazis, and their enablers.

I didn’t realise Ben Affleck was in this film.

You’re kidding, right? It’s some of the best facial animation seen in this console generation.

“ ... when Ike Perlmutter is no longer working on that side.”

at some point IO9 went from a site for nerds to nerd out over stuff to a site where hipster elitests hate on everything.

It’s a show about monsters. I didn’t get that the writer was trying to draw a parallel between monster and trans* at all. Mulder fumbled his explanation and it felt appropriate. He’s a forty something year old cis guy that watches a shit ton of porn. He’s not going to get it 100% correct but he tried. The writer…
