They mostly likely don't want to get blacklisted. As they want a review copy.

Heh yeah they’re going to explain in an awkward way why it’s actually not so bad.
It’s great though. We’re all winning here. Beauty returns to gaming.
Kim Hyung-tae, I don’t see any photos of him on Google but that’s a male name. Also same sex marriage is illegal in SK. So he’s a man.

Nah, they were the only ones with the courage to review Hogwarts Legacy when it was released
Granted, they've since kind of burned all the goodwill they built up with that one act by now

It's a typo. Guys a legend in Korean gaming industry, started as illustrator, specialized in drawing hot chicks.

I think in terms of aesthetics, Eve is already flawless. But a great character needs more than just the looking, personality and story are the soul. We'll see how that unfold in the full game.

it's the never-ending sport that these people never seem to tire of: attempting to out-indignant each other...

And I don't.
First of, at the beginning they literally only changed the sentence to something like 'it seems the guy doesn't know how a woman looks like. And without telling anyone.
Secondly, it's clear that it's NOT IGN France that wanted to write it, but were forced by the US IGN headquarters.

FYI, France is the country that fought against #metoo with women going on national TV saying if men cannot give them compliments about their appearance it won’t be France anymore. Which makes IGN’s comment even more bizarre.
Interactions between men and women are so much more relaxed and pleasant in France than elsewhere in the West right now. You feel it at once when you step foot in the country.

We really got no other pressing issues right now so why not spend even more time discussing the female form? I'm sure everything else can wait.

When Elon took over Twitter he fired a bunch of Japanese mods because they were posting that Japan deserved the nukes, among other similar sentiments. Japanese Twitter went mental saying thanks.
Tech/games is full of these self-hating anti-human weirdos in every country.

I am actually surprised (in a good way) that they publicly apologized for it. No doubt just due to pressure from it getting a lot of exposure, but still, I have a bit of respect that they did it. Just a year ago they'd have probably doubled down and cried "death threats!" and called all of the readers chuds if they didn't agree. Is this progress?

Whaaat, never saw that bit in all the news when that was going down. I don't wannah go digging through twitter, maybe some website did an article on it...

With so many options for game news, why do people keep going to ign? Given their hostility towards their key demographic they really aren’t worth your time and attention and now they fallaciously attack developers with ad hominem. … Enough is enough. Screw the bleeding heart apology!

Can confirm. I have complimented a French lady on her stunning bikini and she was delighted. Love the French, I spend most of my year with them.

I love Hyung Tae Kim's stuff but his wife's pic is... disappointing. I'm sure she's fine naturally but that's just another person with a crap ton of filter and KBeauty changes applied.

Oh they’ve seen a woman before. Only a true connoisseur can create such… well rounded art!

Because Bayo owns it and is a mommyboss I guess. Eve is more fragile and vulnerable and that makes ree think she 'needs a man' or some shit.

Soooooo if Eve were to wear a LGBTQIABBQWTFEDDIE!? patch all is good?

Bayo struts around but doesn't actually bang anyone really...
until the third game which is a pretty unsexualized love story between her and a dude which made people mad.

Hearing this now....I seriously need to travel more. Paying someone a compliment should be nice and chill, unlike the West over here in which you'd be considered a misogynist or some dumb shit.

To be fair it's mostly North America. In Europe you still can compliment women. Can even have drunken post pub sex with them without filling out a letter of consent.

Goddamn you're cool poster here but whenever i read "decent human being" i can't help but roll my eyes lmaoWhy these so called "professional journalist" act this way?
They are free not like design, that their taste but why act like a fucking idiot and insult the artist? Dont just apologize, just be fucking decent human being.....thats not too much to ask.
