Are women too hard to animate.

If you know what you're doing no.

Signature goes here.
Isn't Ubisoft like staffed by way more female employees than it was say six years ago? I'm sure they must have said something.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Given that Unity was apparently a completely rushed mess, it seems like a perfectly valid excuse.

Them being lazy developers isn't an excuse.

I dunno, man. Something like "We have a ridiculous timeframe and cant even do things that matter like bug testing and optimization" seems like a good response to "why no chick character yo?"

Almost all parties involved with Unity, Corporate and Development were lazy in the development of this. Forcing time restraints just to get their annual Ass Creed.

Ubisoft is pretty awful and lazy, but complaining about the "lack of women in games" is stupid in itself.

Yep.

How?

No amount of you listing female characters in games is going to change the fact that there's still not enough of them.

And for every female character that is poorly represented in their game, take that as a -1.

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
Maybe developers should stop pushing release dates and focus on quality instead of quantity.

Ubisoft, Activision, and ea especially have been called out I their unfair treatment of employees and 80+ hour work weeks in order to get the product out as soon as possible.

If I were working an 80 hour work week at minimum wage I would treat any extra work as a huge burden.

That being said it's still no excuse for not being inclusive and Anita made some good points. There needs to be a shift in how games are made or something is going to give.

How?
Because it's a non-issue. In plenty of games, gender of particular characters isn't relevant to matter anyways. In multiplayer FPS's, being able to play as a female character is nice for people that want it, but hardly necessary in the slightest. There are much more important things to focus on. Little things like game balance.

When it does matter, then what's more important is the established setting, the execution of the character, and who your audience is, rather than just having equal female representation for brownie points.

Thank you for defeating your own point.

How so? It's nice, but if no one cares except for losers like Anita, then why should game companies do it? Ubisoft shouldn't have to include female assassins because a handful of people want them, and it's not like it hurts sales either. Pretty much like I said, non issue.

Because it's about equality. It doesn't matter who wants it. It's the right thing to do.

No no no, that's a privileged and not a right in video games, developers shouldn't be forced to add things they don't want because 'it's the right thing to do'

You're basically putting a mandatory standard on art.

Except nobody's doing that. Way to draw unnecessary conclusions like the typical reactionary moron.

Nope, they're not forcing anyone to do anything.

Nope, they're not doing it either.
Yeah you got a point there.

No one listens to feminists anyway.

tbh this is off topic but I really hate how a lot of games now from what I have seenhave been given shit just because they don't have a female character in them that you can play
