In my experience, I mostly see the grandstanding coming from white-knighting males that want to fight against female objectification in online games. I don't think I've ever met a gamer chick that has ever complained about big boobs. Ever. Sure, girl gamers are pretty diverse but every single type of girl gamer I've ever come across is either indifferent or LOVES sexy girl characters or big titties. They either 1. think it's silly/humorous and giggle about it, 2. think the model is "cute," 3. they think the girl characters are really hot or 4. they are indifferent to breasts in general. They do have breasts after all. I've never heard any girl rage over stupid shit like that. They will fill your head with valid complaints about raid content, actual gameplay or lack of content though, just like guy gamers will. Duh?
Here's a fucking reality check for game developers -> Games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends were massive commercial successes for a number of great reasons, one being that they encouraged and promoted attractive character design. You'll never hear a girl complain about how their night elf chick wasn't ugly enough or how Sona's big tits make them feel inadequate. In fact, they fucking love that shit and gobble it up (unless they prefer playing a cute little Chua or Elin instead, which is perfectly fine as well.) Every women likes the idea of feeling sexy, as they should no matter what you think of what they look like irl.
I googled that wildstar breasts phrase and the first result was a tumbler post from what seemed to be a guy. Correct me if I'm wrong and it was actually a girl, but honestly... Tumbler? Are you kidding me? That's the first place you're going to find bullshit feminist garbage and "Erotic" pictures that are lady-friendly (even though it's really just porn.)
Like an above poster said they should have just ignored the rants and dismissed them, similar to how the asian game devs deal with it. If they go back on their decision now people will start to wonder. This entire game's art direction was based on pleasing the masses with cartoony graphics and promoting exaggerated sexual dimorphism. It was pretty obvious from the start that this was a game that doesn't take itself seriously. So where exactly is the big surprise? It isn't like they just now patched the females to go from B cups to DD's right before release. Sounds like a bunch of over-sensitive bullshit.
And yeah, this all goes without saying that none of these idiots know what a god-damned Mordesh or Aurin looks like IRL. The whole thing about them being a figment of someone's imagination makes the whole sexism argument pretty ridiculous as is.
