While, of course, a few of the usual offenders were present – overall there seems to be a trend of improvement in gender representation in games being nominated for awards.
Pictured above:
Even Until Dawn, a horror/slasher game with the obligatory shower/walk around in a towel trope, seems pretty good for depicting the women as dressing for the situation rather than the camera and a presumed straight male audience.
It really goes to show much you can accomplish when you’re not trying to fit worn out gender tropes and boob windows into everything.

While some people are probably going to say it was the gameplay, or the performances, or the writing or other stuff that led to the Witcher 3 collecting the Game Awards’ Game of the Year – I think we all know what really won over the judges.
So the only real question is – how many future games will have the courage to boldly embrace male empowerment?
