We talk about the appearance of women in games – News in the podcast

Last week, discussions in gaming revolved around the appearance of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West and a Kickstarter MMO that turned into a fiasco.

These are the topics: A major controversy arose last week regarding the appearance of the protagonist Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West, who was given makeup in an edited image. The MMORPG Dreamworld reportedly made too many promises to its backers during the Kickstarter campaign. The vast world with absolute freedom faces serious issues with stolen assets and nepotism.

Another MMORPG, Swords of Legends Online, also sparked discussions when it introduced open-world PvP just before the launch of the 2nd beta test. Minecraft was embroiled in a scandal over cheating in speedruns.
