    The developer comes across as the kind of ultra bro-ish 90s gaming magazine kind of guy. With that said the extent of the sexism I've seen was just "we're not making this game for women". And I am frankly ok with games existing that understand they're for one target market or another or whatever. It feels like IGN has been really milking the sexism thing when it comes to this game and it really seems like they want the game to fail in a way that goes beyond how they behave with western devs. I don't see them behaving this way to all the western devs that thoroughly deserve it. It makes me think that the game being Chinese in origin plays a role, particularly as they don't miss out on telling everyone it's Chinese each time.

      Yeah we're just gonna keep seeing people find problems with this game as it's among the first kind of "prestige" video games coming out of China. Also there probably is sexism in the studio and also the game looks pretty sick.
