How feminists affect gaming

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Not Coming to the US Because of the Issues Regarding the “Treatment of Women in Gaming”

Koei Tecmo have claimed that DOAX3 won't come to the US and EU because of issues regarding how to treat "females in the video game industry."

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will not be receiving a Western release according to a comment made by the game's official Facebook page, with publishers Koei Tecmo stating that the reasoning behind this is due to the ongoing debate in the region surrounding the representation of women in video games.

Responding to a question regarding whether or not the game would make it to "US and EU regions," Dead or Alive's official Facebook page relied: "We do not bring DOAX3 to the west and won't have any plan change in the future. Thank you for asking."

When asked for their reasoning behind this decision, the page responded: "Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry? We do not want to talk those things here. But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you."

Dead or Alive has always featured over-the-top designs in regards to its characters, with the female combatants of the fighting series being the most notable example of this. This is no more apparent than in its Xtreme spin-off series, in which the women of the series partake in a volleyball tournament wherein they're depicted wearing very few items of clothing, with these games known for focusing upon titillation and sexual themes.

It's questionable whether Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 would have performed well in the West given that it already appeals to a niche audience, but considering the evolution of the representation of female characters in games, a game such as Xtreme 3 may well have come under fire following its release and this seems to have convinced Koei Tecmo from distributing it in the region altogether. With that being said, refusing to release your game because it might attract criticism seems like an unreasonable position for a publisher to assume.

We only have this snippet of information from Koei Tecmo at the time of this writing, so there is likely more to this story, but if each publisher were to refrain from distributing their games out of fear that they would attract negativity, then no games would ever be published ever again. At this point it seems more likely that Koei Tecmo realized that Xtreme 3 would not have performed adequately in the Western market, and so therefore factored it out of their plans.
why give into these feminazis?
what do you guys think?

Personally I think it's bull ****

I've heard of the Dead or Alive series of games, but I've never actually known what they were about. I assumed zombies or something. Just had a look and wow, why on earth would you play that?! :o

are talking about the main series (fighting game) or the xtreme series (sports game)?
 
Play-Asia is on point

also more butt hurt on tumblr

So you care only about how other people think of you AND you wouldn't take a woman with big boobs seriously.... but gaming has a problem and not you or the people who would judge you for being a gamer.

Honestly the entire post pretty much highlights everything that is wrong. For the most part 99% of guys shown in 'normal' games are huge built eye candy types, but of a game has eye candy women it's wrong? It's okay to sexualise the main male characters but doing it with the women makes you not take the characters seriously(even though the majority of women enjoy being thought of as attractive and enjoy that men like looking at them) and makes gaming not seem normal?

Guess what, NO ONE should get to decide what is normal, absolutely no one. There is tv that is softcore porn and their is news on tv, there is good news and there are news channels that will show someone killing themselves, dead bodies or completely inaccurate awful news like Fox. So when you say you watch tv you don't care that someone might believe you were watching the playboy channel?

People look down on gaming for no reason at all and while no one is asking for Game of Thrones to not be seen as normal gaming, for some reason women being sexualised somehow makes it okay for people to look down on you for gaming?

Gaming is normal and people who look down on you for doing it regardless of the game you are playing are idiots. Playing to the idiots and their stupid views is always the wrong thing to do. Would people let others view that Game of Thrones overly sexualises women(it does) and is too violent(probably is) mean we should deem it not normal tv and steer away from risky tv shows or do we tell those people to just watch what they want and stop being an idiot.


Boo hoo, some characters have big boobs, and? Some women in real life have big boobs. We have strip clubs, or women who have surgery to look like barbie, there are all types of people in the world and it's fine and normal to have all kinds of games. If you don't like a game, don't play it, don't try and determine what is okay for other people to play based on how you want to be perceived.

couldn't agree more :D

People are allowed to make and publish games that revolve around massive bouncing boobs. People are allowed to voice an opinion saying it's crass and sexist. No one is stopping you fapping to said digital bouncing boobs if you want to.

Get over it.

sjws and feminists don't need to voice their opinion and express how butt hurt they are all they had to was speak with their wallet and not buy the game or any thing from play asia
 
And the neckbeards could have not overreacted to the non-release of a terrible game in the western market, and not gotten riled up by the misdirection of the publisher suggesting feminism was to blame (rather than pure business).

But they didn't, did they?

yep people shouldn't react to censorship and feminist agendas forced on people

/sarcasm

Funny? I was detecting high levels of salt on your part...

have you read their tweets?
 
Koei Tecmo have probably just about drummed up enough interested to release it now. Does the CE come with any extras? :p

yep

three different CE

I really don't care enough to read them tbh. Obviously irks you though and that's cool, it's fine to be irked from time to time.

if irked you laughing at them then ok
 
I read them, as you posted them.

I didn't have a seizure or see storm clouds roll in like at the end of Ghostbusters, so I assume they were actually just words on Twitter and don't mean an awful lot.

I didn't all of the sjw tweets they even removed posts from their tumblr page
But it was neither of those things. Koei Tecmo would make a loss on a western release, so they aren't doing it.

It's a terrible game anyway, why do you care?

And how old are you, by the way?

make a loss ...ok

already been translated and past games have sold more in the west

it's such a terrible game that xbox used it as a selling point


I care because I hate censorship

third point why do you care?
 
I'm not convinced you actually understand what censorship means?



That's not censorship. It hasn't been cut, or banned from this country, the publisher has chosen not to release it. Exactly like the many other Japanese games that never make it to these shores that also aren't "censored".

PlayAsia have seen an opportunity to get some press out of it, so they've kicked a bear just to get a reaction, and they got one. It's certainly a good short term business plan, because now all the OUTRAGED can rush to their site and throw money at them to champion a non-existent censorship issue, by buying a game for 12 years olds that like the idea of bewbs but haven't worked out how to find them on the internet.

as you can the sjws and feminists are ****ed by play asia simply importing the game they would be even more ****ed if it got announced for release.

as the devs say due to the sjw movement overreacting to video games most of them aren't even gamers, they were forced to self censor themselves by not releasing a game.

edit: p - i -- s --s ed
a swear word now?

So what's the problem? They are free to complain about a game, you are free to complain about them complaining about a game, no-one is being stopped from releasing the game, the world keeps turning.

koei tecmo seems to disagree

At gunpoint?

look at the backlash play asia got just for a couple of tweets and only importing it as their job to import goods

now think what backlash koei tecmo would have received if they actually released it.
