Blizzard “progress”

Liliana submitted:

So, remember when a Blizzard VP was acknowledging how dumb bikini armours were and promised progress in the future? Fantastic. Now a new patch for Diablo III is coming out soon and they’re going to include new sets of armours.

Diablo is known for its ridiculous outfits, but hey Blizzard is starting to get it, and so the new wizard outfit will no doubt be…

Sigh.

Nevermind.

Oh Blizzard… I want to be disappointed in you but it’s so hard when you continually recognize the issues with your products and manage to make your attempts to improve into even bigger jokes.

A thought from BABD:

We really don’t need you to explain us that Blizzard is a bit better than they used to when it comes to female armor.

We wouldn’t talk about their games if the problem wasn’t still prominent enough to be, well, a problem.

Also: since when the fact that something problematic was done in the past make it any less problematic? Aren’t we allowed to point at a thing and say “it is not okay now and it was not okay back then”?

Every time someone assures me World of Warcraft is better now… I have a look to see how it looks today.

Then I remember how Nintendo has been increasingly interested in having Samus play out of her badass armor, Elder Scrolls went from mostly okay to comical failure.

me: *check out new mmorpg*

Female armor: sideboob, underboob, boob window …

And yet, even with all three they could barely compete with World of Warcraft’s official merchandise:

Though I find it difficult to believe that this… thing… ever inspired anyone to rush to register an account.  Seriously, I don’t even have boobs and it hurts just to look at it.
