People diminishing this games success as if it doesn't count cause the MC is overly sexy and now because of people using mods is the most small minded shit I've ever seen. "OH, It's 3 million but it doesn't count cause blah gooner blah game" but the hypocrisy when compared to such sexualized games like BG3 (Whivh I love exists, I'll hopefully love the game too). I even seen a game where one of the reviewers who bashed stellarblade for it's sexylaity when propping up a game that's all about romancing household objects, the same person. What the fuck is the cultural issue here, something has gone wrong somewhere. And not to mention the hypocrisy that Eve is technically closer to an object that would fit in her inanimate object dating sim game cause she's an android. 

Shift up, Asian devs and the gamers that support them have won. Simmer down and accept that the media who want everything sexless and androgynous for some reason have lost their almost religious like crusade. I don't like the Grummz types either but the 3 million people didn't come from his or YouTuber in that space, relatively small followings. Stop trying to downplay this games success because it isn't something you don't personally like.

Anyway, people have spoken and said they want this and there is no way they would buy this in masses if the game was a shell for EVEs body parts, unless there was also a long substance and enjoyable game at the core. 

Yeah the ideological zealots on places like Resetera and Reddit are majorly butthurt over the game's success, because it goes against their puritanical, dogmatic belief that sexiness is evil and that everything has to be made ugly and sexless.

The game didn't get much flack on Playstation release, I don't think people are that offended by the sexuality as much as they're just coming to terms with their western-centric judgement on success being undermined. Similar situation when Ne Zha 2 became the highest grosses animated film of all time. Lots of disbelief but also dismissal because we in the west had never heard or it and didn't have it on our radar.

Similarly this game has essentially out performed all the titles Playstation owners have in large cconsidered to be better/more deserving in regards to the PC sales.
