As for his comment about characters in the industry and not in games: among devs the "characters" you get are usually the kind of Phil Fish and his ilk. Full of themselves, entrenched in their cliques and deplorable, screaming about sexism but covering for the sexual predators on their own side. Then there's the youtubers and streamers, though sadly the one with some class (and a soothing radio voice) died.
Frankly, showing some girls in bikinis is hardly sexist. Lowbrow and primitive, but people like looking at pretty people. If pretty women want to exploit their appearance for money, who are you to stop them? If I had the bod I would totally become an underwear model.
@FX102A A museum of overpriced kitschy tat? For all its historic value that thing is very tacky. But then it is time that gives items more value, as explained by another Indiana Jones character.
Not an isolated case considering Mega Man's origins as an Astro Boy game (IIRC) and Blizzard's WarCraft and StarCraft with their roots in Warhammer Fantasy/40k licenses...
Also explains why Alex Kidd looks a lot like a monkey. Who knows, maybe if he was a monkey he'd sell better.

Re: Feature: Playing God: How Peter Molyneux Hooked Japan With Populous
I think the craziest thing not mentioned in this article is that Populous even had a Game Boy port. It must have been the clunkiest, muddiest thing.
Re: Feature: Say Hello To Vixen 357, A Lost Mega Drive Classic That's Hitting The West This Year
Well, that last part about no release on a modern system is a bummer.

Repeat after me: midlife crisis.

Re: John Szczepaniak's Untold History Of Japanese Game Developers Is Reborn As Japansoft: An Oral History
I'm trying to imagine Japanese attempting to pronounce "Szczepaniak" and it's making me giggle.
Re: Drugs, Military Coups And Reshoots: The Amazing Story Of Street Fighter: The Movie
For many people the day they saw Street Fighter for the first time was one of the most memorable days in their lives.
But for me it was Tuesday.
