-Nier Automata

-Bound

-KH 0.2

Seems a far cry from last gen when it was sort of tabboo by marketing people to feature a girl character prominently on the cover because it would sell less. Was Naughty Dog that broke the trend by refusing to hide away Ellie on the cover of TLOU?

We're still not at the sweet spot of 100% though.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

And none of them is transgender. Way to go transphobic Sony.

Pretty sure the "no girls on covers" thing died as soon as it went public. Or at perhaps the likes of TLoU and Overwatch destroyed it.

Now that female representation is up, expect nitpicky complaints about portrayal, the leads just not strong and independent *enough.*
