The game industry doesn't want female characters. That is allegedly the message publishers have been sending to developers.
EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
I agree.It's strange how people think that somehow it isn't creepy to think that you need to hide women because they are women in games or that it is okay for men to have a roll in the hay but as soon as women make a move they are creeped out.Like he said people are not even willing to admit the problem or add any sort of alternative or solution.
People always have the 'Shut up, it's not important' attitude even if someone comes forward with good points or points out the problem.The answer is usually 'That is how it is.So shut up' almost the same attitude that people had long ago when there were slaves or blatant racism or when women where not treated equally.I don't understand the rage, the indifference and denial involved in this topic.You don't mind a half naked guy with bulging muscles welding giant weapons grunting and sweating but being a female with thoughts and feelings is creepy and even worse you don't think them being half naked with bouncing breasts creepy.In fact Bayonetta is one of the creepiest women I have ever seen in a game.I am not sure if she was trying to be seductive or sexy but what ever it was, it didn't work.Also how is Lara acceptable by everyone as a lead role but other strong women are a problem? Isn't it the same thing?
Love the jimquisition, how is he so right?!
The more I learn about how the game industry works, it's seems as though most of the industries issues stem from the higher up suits, rather than the developers themselves.
That was actually a very interesting video to watch and had a lot of good points that should questioned and brought up more.
I think game devs, every now and then, should be aloowed to take these risks and see what they can come up with and put all this fear of rejection aside otherwise we are stuck with rehashes from here to ... infinite... hehe
He basically voiced my exact opinion on Bioshock Infinite's box art. (aside from the part about actually playing it. That will be fixed tomorrow!)
Yeah, I can't really think of any canonically female protagonist with a real romance in a game. At least not one that gets more physical than a quick kiss.
