No it didn't. No, they didn't. People were promised membership on a forum. They got it. A handful of people eventually got banned when they kept breaking rules and kept trying to turn everything into a "fight against the SJWs". If you can't post on a board about a classic-styled platformer...

When you pledge to kickstarter, you select a reward. For example, I pledge $30 and my "reward" is meant to be a copy of the game and some stuff in the game. If time passes and I don't get that reward I was promised, then the guys running the campaign have committed fraud and can get in huge...

So this is sort of interesting. http://mightyno9.com/ Comcept is letting people buy pre-orders of Mighty No 9, at the pre-release-day price. They're also letting people buy additional rewards, like a retro game manual. And they've said that the money from those additional rewards will...

It's pretty much what it says on the tin. Yup, that's South Park as a video game all right.

Ad hominem attack. A little bit, yeah. Liking ponies isn't an absurd sexualization that's bad for your health and puts you at an extreme disadvantage in a fight.

I'll try more serious and straightforward replies to your points. The "Justin Bailey" code let you play as Samus wearing a gymnast's leotard (not a bikini). It was 1988, and having the hero turn out to be a woman was enough of a novelty that it's understandable they'd sneak in a mode where...

Malarky. The bar is extremely low, but the industry manages to limbo under it like Hermes Conrad. We know from EEDAR that of the games where it's possible to tell the main character's gender, only 4% were explicitly female. And as Penny Arcade pointed out, games starring women get less than half...

With enlarged breasts, a beauty mark, and high heels? Yes. Absolutely. She's undergone a slow but progressive sexualization. We've been there for a couple hundred years. We have written records going back over 250 years ago of doctors urging the public to stop wearing high heels...

"If you're offended by this, you're the one with a problem, because you noticed" is frequently used as a real argument. You might want to avoid sounding like that, since there's lots of people that use that argument in perfect seriousness. It strikes them as a good way to silence dissent, for...

And pants, if she can. There's a reason that woman got the triforce of wisdom!

Well sure. For some people they're the straw that broke the camel's back, but what people are upset about really is the entire trend. The heels are just an exclamation mark for some people. But SB4 features ZSS as a separate playable char (so more screentime) with bigger breasts, a beauty...

Well, yeah. Except by Metroid fans, who just had salt poured on their wound. Other M will remain the main complaint, but this will be a recurring garnish. On the surface this looks like an excellent point. But what's the first rule of Metroid? Don't just look at the surface. And this...

Yeah, except those braces looked nothing like high heels in the first game. She was barefoot. It's still a serious stretch to call them high heels seeing as how the strut is almost knee-high. I get why people keep pointing to them, because they were well accepted as semi-plausible sensible...
