Oh comon, if you would have said that to your friends they would begin to doubt if you were hetero

My friends know me, so it's not much of an issue.

I'm just sick of games which seem to pander to the idea that we're all still 15 years old and that only women with somewhere over C cups can make good characters. How can anyone create a good, intelligent mature game (and I don't mean R rated for sexual content) if they need to do the equivalent of dumbing it down?

Are bigger breasts the root of the problem? not really, they don't ruin the experience (for me at least, maybe they do for other people), but I do think they're symptomatic of an underlying problem that the games industry needs to grow out of as gamers mature, more and more women become part of the prospective player base and development costs rise, requiring games to be marketed at the widest possible market.

This isn't to say that women with large breasts should be excluded either, just not picked as "sexy = boobies".

By the way, I don't think the stereotyping that all game developers are overly thin or fat geeks with breast obsessions is any better than the stereotype that all gamers are similar people that want to see them in order to enjoy a game.

*shrug*
