Way To Confuse The Issue
Ben Silverman makes me sigh, but this link makes me laugh.
“Fat Princess” kind of amuses me. Yes, it’s another dose of the same old, same old. Yes, it’s sexist and vaguely stupid. No, you’d never see a game where you feed chocolate to a male character and make him slower in combat. But if you DID, it would be funny. And that’s really my point. It’s just funny.

Not Surprising.
They hired game designers to improve the weapons platform.
