Why were booth babes done away with? Sure, it's a bit tacky to have your game being advertised with some random wannabe model who couldn't give a shit less about the thing she was peddling, but at least she knew what she was getting into, e.g., a potential way to further her career and break out into the modeling scene. I thought the games industry was all about furthering the opportunities for women to earn a career in whatever way they wished. Did it really hurt anyone by having them around?
Why were booth babes done away with? Sure...
That's not very empowering for women, though, is it?
It's cheaper and more effective to just post pictures of whores on imageboards when you want to shill your game.
it makes other (ugly) women feel bad
because it makes video games feel like a car show.
Who cares? They should stick to their biological purpose.
It intimidated many gamers away.
They should ban women altogether from these events for maximum gamer appeal.
They still do, to be honest, just without the tits. If we're going to pretend any trade show is "for the consumers," then we should throw any pretense out the window and at least make it more fun.
I'm calling out the hypocrisy of the games industry who supposedly care about the empowerment of women while also limiting their employment options.
It made trannies feel inferior.
The ban helps women feel more accepted
Females that couldn't get those types of jobs ruined it for those that could.
No it’s not. Females should be rallying to get these jobs back. They should be asking men on the street to hire them.
>a potential way to further her career and break out into the modeling scene
lmao no
I don't know but I'm cool with it, fuck women.

at this point in time the negative press would outweigh any supposes benefits, it’s called pandering and it’s about business. this is the world we live in, stop being stupid
By all means, be a camwhore or do porn. Can't stoop to the level of booth babe... oh no.
hag on the left go away
>limiting opportunities equals being more accepting.
Some 5d chess going on here
idk, I wish people liked how I looked
People thought she was a dude for years.
Are you really asking why attractive females can't show some skin in public in the year of our Lord 2020? Do you have any idea how fragile the ego of Twitter landwhales actually is? Delete this now.
Fat feminist dikes complaining have crippled the modeling industry and destroyed countless jobs for women models. reducing womens options to far less respectable incomes like twitch and Instagram thots.
>Why were booth babes done away with?
Ugly women don't like their mating prospects disrupted by more attractive women. Ugly men can go die in a fire though tee-hee.
>Sure, it's a bit tacky
Yeah, nah.
...huh. Just found out thats a chick.
Yikes.
And that's a good thing.

Because games are for people who don't want to actually interact with others and just have some fun outside all of those social pressure.
It's like holding a university lecture in a strip club. Sure, it can be fun, but if you realize that lectures are about getting graded and the pressure to actually understand the stuff then the strip club is more like a distraction you don't want.
Also what I hate about models and wagies in general is that they are just there so they get paid. Why should I interact with a stranger who doesn't know me if this person is just there because he got paid.
That's also the reason why I can't watch movies with real people (Sure, I can watch them, but I rather watch white paint for hours). Every time I see "artists" I instantly switch off. Seeing those fake expressions and all this scripted shit is just disgust.
The same with politicians. I would never watch a politician speech simply because they are just reading their paper (or remembering their paper). I don't watch people if I know they are just repeating a paper I would rather read myself and therefore saving time.

>Western games
KEK
Only trannies play Western "games".
>Because games are for people who don't want to actually interact with others...
Aaaand it's bullshit
>Muh trannies
>Muh politics
>Muh muh muh
Nice thread
You seem upset.
Don't bully the tranny
Are you ugly as fuck or something? It doesn't take too much effort for women from what I've seen. Just don't be fat as shit, wear make up and take care of your damn self.
Not mad bro, just disappointed
Japan still going strong
i unironically wish i had a gf like the shorthaired QT at the very right, god i never tought i would feel this way about 3D shit
apparently girls started playing vidya in the last ten years so they brought all their insecurities with them and we aren't allowed company tits anymore
Japa is stuck in the stone age. Hello? It's 2020.
Why are women so awful? I don't hate them... but WHY?!
This. I would like it more if they didn't simply switch to twitch for even more easy mode.
The fuck is wrong with them?
Imagine if you went to a game convention and this guy started to try to market the game to you. I'd think it's awesome not feel insecure because I'm not a Chad.
Because females are cancer.
Because men allow them to be. Video games are one of the only hobbies where the acceptance of women was not only welcomed, but encouraged and 99% of it was by men.
the asian girl is the hottest one in the pic
How do we take back; our hobby?
>Stirner shitposter
Kill yourself

Because, for a medium that fans wanted so desperately to be taken seriously ( shut the fuck up with your history revision, I remember the good old whining about it.), it's hard for people not to think the medium is full of manchildren when games are advertized to adult gamers like they would be for horny 14 years old.
A part of society is trying to do away with the oversaturating market of erotic advertizement because it's a cheap way of advertizing products and an obvious ploy to reel in men specifically. You can say whatever you want about lesbians, but you'd be a retard to think this is not advertizement aimed at a straight male audience.
But your audience is made up mostly of straight males. It makes sense to pander to them and yes, people have wanted this hobby to be taken seriously for years now, but anyone in their right mind wouldn't give two shits what people think of this hobby. The people who criticize games for being childish are never going to play games anyway, no matter what you do, so fuck them.
MIND BLEWN
Everytime someone asks this dumb question, my feeling that nobody is ever gonna do shit simply increases.
For years and years you'Ve been sitting on your dumbass asking this dumbshit question about "hurrr what do we do what do we do?" and you're nowhere near an answer because you sit on your dumbass all day, but you won't stop asking the fucking question though.
Improve your fucking standarts, that's how you can save this industry. If gamers like you had been able to hold their gorund with firm standarts, nobody with an agenda would have been able to come in to steal away the medium and use it as a tool of propaganda, but, again and again, people of every side come in on the "vidya arena" to push their own political shit through shitty """"""journalism"""""" à la oneangryfucktard or by pushing for progressive inclusivity in videogames like the Suits trying to capitalize on the progressive trend. The reason why the industry is in shambles is because, while you could have done something, you stayed in the basement jerking it to Anime pussy like the oblivious manchild you were.
Not anymore, the target audience has changed from mostly Straight males to everyone and the industry followed put. Your perceptiont hat gaming is still mostly male gamers is a delusion. You were not able to stop shit and you won't be able to stop it now that it's taken off like it did.

Do you have any facts to back this up that don't include mobile gaming?
Why are you mad user? Who hurt you?

The irony is that this bitch streams herself painting her tits on Twitch

A gentleman and a scholar
8/10 solid bait, good authenticity

The gaming community now is full of election fag christians that hate boobies. Booth babes are another sign of degeneration and must be crusaded against etc.
>Why were booth babes done away with?
Because you can have waifus instead. Waifus are more beautiful, and far cheaper to hire!
Go to cons, there are as many girls as there are guys and it doesn't matter what your opinion on their legitimacy is, they are there. Look at Western developing firms, they are increasingly pro-women and some studios have more women than men. More women are playing videogames. Anecdotal evidence: I know quite a bit of girls in my social circle my age (28 to 30) who play videogames or have played them since childhood like I and my other guy friends did. There has always been girls playing videogames.
And no we're not talking phone games. Unless The Witcher and Resident Evil are considered phone shit.
Hell, animal Crossing has so many female players that it's considered a "girl game" by people on this board.
You don't seem to understand how advertizing works. even if most of these girls are "fake nerds", this is not what advertizers see. What they see is a flourishing market with an increasingly diverse consumerbase because that's what the numbers are showing. More women everywhere. You are still stuck in your past where women didn't exist in nerd hobbies and it seems like you're still in denial about it, but they are here. Put your head in the sand as much as you want, but you can't change that fact. It happened right under your nose and nobody lifted a fucking finger to stop it. but NOW it's a problem and NOW that it's too late, people are starting to get angry.
Spineless. Your lot is spineless and something that could have been prevented was never even proprerly protested.
this is probably the closest OP will get to a real answer, fuck women
Well now they are instathots and patreonwhores. They found a way.
>Girls are not playing the hardcore games for gamers such as myself, therefore they don't exist even if the charts are showing that women are still playing certain games and genres more than men are.
now get a pool with 100+ games and try not to cherry pick too much this time
There's no irony in the play. She is strategically eliminating competition. She knows she's no match for young aspiring models.
He posted numbers and you didn't. The burden of proof is on you.
Because ugly women kept bitching about them out of jealousy.
>fuck women
you wish incel
Those are the most popular games, meaning they have the biggest number of gamers, meaning the highest percentage of total gamers, meaning males are still by far the majority of gamers. Retards.
These same numbers actually support my claim. Half of this chart shows women play as many games as men, just not the kind of games you consider "real games".
However, you're not the expert on videogames deciding what is a videogame and what isn't. women play certain types of games and are showing they are part of the market. Hate Candy Crush all you want, it's still a videogame.
>Did it really hurt anyone by having them around?
It hurt the feelings of uggos
>Let me move that goalpost now that the numbers I've posted actually prove more women play videogames than before.
>this whole post
Eat shit.
Mobile games are not real video games, no matter what you say.
