It’s been a super exciting week! Summer showcase season came in hot this year, and of course it all circled right back to the conversation we can never seem to escape…. women in games 👀 In this video we chat about studios that build confidently for the audience they already have, vs. the ones that don’t… and then go into PR mode for it. Talking about you, God of War: Laufey (aka Laundry) and the very real backlash, and how all of that stacks up against Shift Up doing the complete opposite with Stellar Blade: Blood Rain and their newest protagonist, Evie. Plus! A ton of other things from State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox showcase - FF7 Revelation, RE: Veronica, Fable's whole... situation, Palworld, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Alien: Isolation 2, Gears of War: E-Day, and a stacked lineup of games people are excited for! 🎮 💬 What's the one announcement from this week that you can't wait for? #godofwar #godofwarlaufey #stellarblade #SGF #playstation #thebackgroundnpc

They never lear.
I am Korean, and I really liked Western games from the past. I hope they regain their former values. I always enjoy watching your videos!

Nobody hates women more than other women. When women got more involved in gaming, even the video game characters became competition.
"Running them through the opposite of a beauty filter." lol. That line got me.

I loved the first Stellar Blade and I'm definitely getting Blood Rain at release.
They never learn and the reason why is because all the people responsible never suffer the consequences of their choices.
Women hating on attractive women is a tale older than hunger. The pitiful thing is that now they are hating on fictional women.
My roach senses were tingling again. And im back at my favorite background npc to hear her dialouge
"I'm tired, boss." Yeah, I feel that.
Even when the money runs dry, they'll never learn.
East Asian beauty standards are different, this seems to be very difficult for some people to comprehend. Asians also on average look younger due to thicker skin (literally) and higher collagen retention. I'm 28, Chinese and I often get asked where I go to highschool. The people screaming about cultural diversity are the same hypocrites that condemn East Asian female aesthetics as "pedo culture" because it doesn't fit their worldview. Ugh it makes me so angry. LOL and yeah Ex Voto lead looks younger than Evie now that you mention it.
They're really saying making women in games unattractive both appearance and in personality is empowering; Its only telling me one thing, there are people in the game development process who hates women.
Just waiting for the "don't like it, don't buy it" crowd to start complaining again when we don't buy it because we don't like it.
The same "Realism" crowds cheer for Nolan's black Helen of Troy and throw back the "It's just a fantasy" punch line. Meanwhile, they look at the young adult Asian and call her unrealistic. You can't be more racist than that.
Eastern devs could never understand how some western devs seem to hate money so much
It's actually so sad how much they hate money.
They're projecting their own insecurities; That is the MAIN reason.
