I don't know, but stuff like this certainly doesn't help.
It's too bad, EA. I was looking forward to buying the new Sims game.
First we have rape video games, one of which was defended by its publisher after Amazon (belatedly) banned it... Now this?
So what do you guys think... Does sexism discourage you or your female and feminist friends from gaming? Do you just chalk it up to the fringe types?
Personally, I've tried to do the latter, but when stuff like this is being sanctioned (nay, richly rewarded!) by one of the largest video game companies in the US, I start to wonder.
