Lets hope they don't take interactions with a little pissant like Jason to be what defines how they market or don't to their target audiences in the states. What I think is really lame is that this artist as a great sense of humor, but since he represents a company he was made to , in a very Japanese way, apologize…

Agreed. Unless it commits some kind of illegal act everyone should just shut the hell up and quit bitching about things that they are obviously not the target audience for anyways. I hate sports games. I don't freaking make a blog post every other day bitching about how brainless and uncreative I think they are.

This whole site has started to feel like an artificial trap for views. The journalism on Kotaku has gotten so low brow that it isn't even worth reading any of the crap on here anymore.

George is still WAAAY more professional than Jason even after the gay jokes. Get your shit together Kotaku. This guy shouldn't have to reach out and apologize / even contact Kotaku as this isn't an article worth publishing. Yet again you're just showing how trashy this site has become. Nothing he has done is really…

Which is why I don't even bother buying them till a year + later. I'm old school and always will be. You give me a complete game or I'm not buying crap!

No Kotaku prides itself on putting out so many articles daily. Despite the fact that more than 75% of them aren't news or even interested, but rather lame complaints, nitpicking and bitching about random crap while on soap boxes just to get page views.

Does this artist have a personal blog / website to see a gallery of his art?

Maybe he too offense to the "Gay" joke because he secretly is? lol. Or maybe he is just a big wuss like most of the jackasses who write on this site and can't take a joke. What is even lamer is that the authors get in the mix and make comments / replies to users arguing with them. It is one thing to make a bitchy…

AGREED 100% These people don't deserve to be paid. Unprofessional with terrible journalism. This place as become a bitch blog. Unfortunately for better or worse my posting on here and visiting is just giving more fuel to their soapbox fire...

So in other words this article is an apology letter for allowing trashy worthless articles like the previous ones be published on this site. Kotaku has become complete crap.

In the same manner if that person met a women, who was very attractive, with a lot of sex appeal should they dismiss them entirely? Should they assume that she is just being manipulated by society or is trying to manipulate men herself? The thought process is just as shallow in reverse. My biggest peeve is that…

The point isn't that Miyamoto might be a dick. But that Miyamoto acts professional and treats both his fans and fans of other genres and games with respect. This Phil is just immature and wouldn't make it in a business outside of his current industry acting like he does.

While I know many people don't like FFXIII, I applauded both games for this. Both Serah and Lightning are sexy in my opinion. However while being sexy they also make their own decisions, carry weapons and fight as well as or better than the men around them.

Thank you very much. Yes, Nationally I am from the US. But I have spent much time abroad and international friends. It makes me happy that someone things my options on culture matters are well reasoned. Though it makes me sad that all "well reasoned" world views can easily be assumed to not be American.

Yup. I'm the parent. I dictate what my child sees under my super vision. Doesn't mean I can't play / own these things myself if I keep my child away from them. Or better yet, expose the child to them slowly and give them a heads up / explanation of how the world works and compare how the imagery of these women are…

My daughter will know that she doesn't need to "get back in the kitchen" because I will raise her to know that she is smart, strong and can achieve anything she puts her mind too. Society doesn't raise my child I do. I also don't want her to think that everything that is sexual or sexy is instantly something trashy to…

I got an 8 year old daughter. I love Fallout, Dragon Age and a few JRPGs that I wouldn't let her play. Doesn't mean that I should bitch about it. I find games she can play with me and just don't show her the games she can't. There are ways to share your hobby with out crying that a product is released that could…

Funny I just said this exact thing. People on this site need to quit bitching about every little thing they don't like.

JEEZ this site is soo annoying anymore. Why do you get to be a writer? How is this news? I love it that the Artist of this game trolled your ass. How about quite being a whiny bitch. I love JRPGs as much as the next person. I find over sexualized super cutesy loli crap embarrassing myself. Example: Neptunia games. So…

I have only played one game from them......I just get tired of every other comment on Kotaku being a Jezebel spill over filled with hatred for all things sexy and men who like sexy things. Not every game should have to be about sweater wearing office women in power to seem not sexist.
