I agree with the article. All those plate bikinis - they need to be bikinis when worn by male toons too.

And creepy NPC guy, needs to be creepy across the board.

This is not just a gender issue though. The same thing pops up when it comes to race.

The days when these games could be made for white-males are long gone. They were never really here to begin with. Video games have always been international, the industry was held up by sales into Asia long before it became viable in North America and/or Europe. And women have been there all along.

And walk into the studios that make this stuff, and its largely gender mixed, and full of people who are Asian, South Asian, and Caucasian...

So its just really baffling...
