The excuse that these are games marketed for men is
bullshit. The excuse that this is all
that teenage boys want is bullshit. The excuse
that this is all that sells is bullshit.
I would buy, “We sorta suck at game design/writing so we put in a lot of
boobs”. This I would believe. So get some better writers. Follow some real world examples… We don’t
have strippers on Wall Street. We have a
special section of town for that. Build
worlds with adult options in certain locations.
Make them age restricted. Sure
kids will get around it, but really if the kids want sexy online options, they
have plenty. What I want is a place
where I can play “normal” and maybe go visit “Online Amsterdam” if I feel like
it. We can develop social values inside
these games and we should. We actually
already are, we’re just not paying attention to what we’re developing.
So again… it isn’t that sex is wrong or sexy is wrong or any
one sexy game is wrong. It is that
having sexy women in *all* games with no options to avoid it is
wrong. Not OMG it should be illegal
wrong… but “Please, for the love of Mike give us some realistic options.”
I'll add one more easy to understand concept.... Simply let everyone pick all options. If design requirements mandate separate modelling for female vs. male characters make sure that both genders can opt in to all the available options where some of those options should be not-sexy. Let men where bikinis, let women put on full body coverage. Options to be what you want instead of what the game designers want you to play.
