    "in-person trade shows for a medium that’s focused on digital content was always a weird choice that, even in its heyday, resulted in an absurd amount of sexism and dystopian-esque capitalism."

    Anybody who says shit like this is cringe and can be ignored.

    "nothing but garbage western games" did say that implicitly. Asia has the other half of the games industry at large outside of the west.

    I mean... sexism is pretty common in the games industry and a lot of it went on at trade shows, so if the truth is cringe I dunno what to tell ya.

    If you say that someone only plays Western games because they think other games are problematic, then that implies that she thinks that the writer finds eastern games (mainly japanese games) to be problematic. She also then goes on to mention 3 JRPGs.

    It's not projecting, it's reading comprehension...

    He was complaining about booth babes which are appearntly sexist but "yass queen get yo bag from onlyfans" is fine. Game journos are beyond cringe

    I mean, there's a nuanced difference between someone deciding to sell their body themselves, and companies trying to profit off of using someone's looks to promote their game when it has nothing to do with the game.

    ....what? Those two are not remotely comparable. Also, once again you're projecting because nothing in the article implies the author's opinions on onlyfans girls.

    Also what Jester said.

    It's not projecting, it's reading comprehension...
    "nothing but garbage western games" doesn't exclude all the non-garbage western games or any other kind of geographical source of games you might want to employ.

    You jumped straight to eastern games to make some kind of ridiculous gotcha reply and call the other poster cringe

    So yes, reading comprehension.. Yours though.

    Being a booth babe was a decison or do you think companies just kidnapped women and forced them to be there with no pay?

    I didn't say that, I'm saying it's scummy behavior. And I wouldn't rule out exactly pressure from a company to get their workers to do it in some cases.

    For the record, the article is ass, but bringing random SJW complaints into it is fucking weird.

    This. There's plenty of issues with the article overall, but SJW wasn't one that crossed my mind.

    Although even weirder that it managed to somehow catch the attention of someone who's literally never posted in this thread until this topic.

    You mean an industry whose the primary audience is 18-24 year old males use women to promote their products who were hired from a modeling agency and get decent pay is bad but the 95% of women who struggle on onlyfans and are at the mercy of an ever changing tos and are usually fucked over by fees is good?

    Growing up, i just ignored booth babes because i knew it was just a gig for them and didnt cry about it because i wasnt going to mess with their abilities to get more gigs :^)

    Sure but it's still a good game that's worth playing if you're a fan and have already played 4.

    Considering the stories are irrelevant and all the characters are tropes, not really. Just play 4 again if you have the itch and save the money. There is enough unique content in 4S that I highly doubt any sane gamer who hasn't spent 500 hours with it has seen it all anyways. If it was $30 it might be a different story but its $50 lmao.
