Maybe they just werent trying to discriminate and just make the game they wanted to make, and whoever plays it plays it. Thats valid until we get into the issue of sex. Sex is a big factor in games these days. They have sex scenes, sex mini games, women bouncing up and down for the pleasure of men. Women are being oversexualized in gaming, they are being treated like an object. This has always been a problem for women across many different platforms. But this recent surge in gaming has caused this issue to be brought to the surface because of how relevant it is. .
Fighting games are the easiest genre of games to pick up fast that isnt candy crush. Mash some buttons and then beat the person up. Developers needed a way to make these games exciting. So they took the natural route and decided to make the women characters wear nothing but some cloth hanging over their breasts. Mortal Kombat was the first major franchise to introduce such an idea. Mortal Kombat featured a number of women wearing clothing that was very sparse. They were treated as sex objects by the players of the game. But, they were these powerful, barbaric women that had the power to murder man after man without falter. Yet, they were still unbelievably sexy while doing all of this. .
Tomonobu Itagaki created the game franchise Dead or Alive. A series that features women wearing bikinis for no reason and fighting for no reason. No story, just bouncing boobs and butts bloodying each other up. Itagaki has gotten multiple sexual assault charges so this game series does not come as much of a surprise. The content of the game is the only shocking part. It is absolutely pointless for the beauties to be fighting. There is even a mini-game in which they bump butts until one of them falls into a pool and becomes all wet and glistening. When this was released how ever, no one gave it a second glance because that was the nature of the game, that was the entire point of the game.
