Well they aren't doing very well

So muffin said putting this in the game is appealing to 90% of players which are men

I'm genuinely curious how many of you this appeals to. Like, do you enjoy seeing that in the game?

I see that and I'm pretty put off. I really don't like seeing it there.

The games are violent and dirty and attempt to re-create the literal horrors of war.

This is the first one like that in like a decade

Also Id be willing to bet a lot that PUBG has a higher percentage of women playing than CoD

Probably. But also still probably less than 10%.

And of the <10% of players who are female, <10% of those are going to carefully zoom in on the female avatar's crotch, notice some camel-toe, and then refuse to play the game anymore because sexism. So we're talking about <1% of players being affected by this.

How many men are going to be more enticed to buy it if they had kept the camel toe?

Camel toe specifically, in and of itself, probably a trivial amount, also less than 1%.

But the general inclusion of attractive and provocative women is probably not trivial.

Remember when they removed Tracer's sexy pose from Overwatch, and the resulting male outrage over the decision caused the game to flop and Battleborne to be the go-to team shooter?

I feel like the effect is negligible either way because PUBG is an ugly game

if you're playing it, it's for the gameplay, and the outfits are pretty incidental. conversely, if you want to play something with good art/aesthetics, then you wouldn't pick PUBG in the first place

What if a bunch of guys just wanted to play a cutie in their shooter but are kinda disgusted that her vag is just hanging through her underwear?

I'd be interested to see if sales among LGBT folks went up once they revealed that Tracer was a lesbian (or bi I guess).

Well aside from the camel toe I dont think anyones complaining about how the player models look. All of them are attractive without being objectifying for either gender.

Fully agree with this. I don't think sexuality drives purchasing decisions of shooters either way.

I was just disputing Rock's suggestion that there was "no reason" for someone to design a character in this way. Of course there's a reason...

Thats only in supplemental materials though

I dont think LGBT Harry Potter sales went up when Rowling said Dumbledore was gay
