The book covers Blizzard development through the late 90s and early 2000s, and Craddock provided us with another excerpt recounting some of StarCraft’s development history, laying the struggle – and crunch – involved in bringing that game to market.
Not going to lie I capped more than once to the succubus from Diablo 1, I took a screenshot and made a .BMP from a 640x480 res screen and fapped to about 30 pixels of boob, plus their sound FX was pretty good for my young brain Them and Mistresses from Dungeon Keeper were top tier faps.

>there totally wasnt a problem with rampant sexism and misogyny in the industry though you guys Criticize her all you want but Anita Sarkeesian was right. This shit doesn't fly. We get many more real female characters these days instead of walking tits and ass thanks to people like her forcing sexists to shape up or ship out and gaming is massively better for it
Ryan Wood
Old Blizzard was dangerously based
Wyatt Howard
people will fall for this
Nathan Hall
>We get many more real female characters Did you know that pretty girls and big boobs exist in real life?
Liam Butler
Wait, Duriel was supposed to be sexy? She scared the shit out of me as a kid. I always thought the corrupted rogues were hot as fuck though.
Parker Reyes
Yep, one need only look at the state of Blizzard today compared to the Blizzard North days to see the stunning improvement they've undergone.
Joshua Stewart
>Duriel I meant Andariel.
Jeremiah Roberts
it's impossible and unrealistic to have any attractive females in video games though. here's the best they can give you
> because they’d all liked the succubi in Diablo One of my most memorable faps.
Daniel Ramirez
Notice the 'sexier' directive only applied to females...
Asher Powell
duriel was a sexy worm anyway
Jaxon King
>This shit doesn't fly Why? I want characters I am attracted to.
Zachary Rogers
>video game >real Speak for yourself. I'm not a retard chugging this kool-aid... the sexism is all there, but because it's not UNGA BUNGA you think it's not.

Looking for Baal~~?
James Gutierrez
lol
Christopher Ross
Yeah, it was the 90s/00s, when video games were for nerds and not normalfags. Fuck off tourists.
Ayden Wright
Sounds like they were going for more adult appeal than sex appeal.
Nicholas Green
Flesh/Soul eating hellspawn in a videogame = IRL woman and should be treated the same.
Next we'll be putting bras on animals to protect their dignity
Jordan Rivera
Want to know how I know you're a faggot?
Nicholas Young
wait what's sexist about pixels that resemble a shape you can find on a number of females of a number of species explain to me how this is discriminatory against human women, who is disadvantaged by it? would the inclusion of pregnancy harming chemicals in foods and activities be considered sexist?
Robert Evans
ara ara, looking for baal user-kun?

>nah bro things totally haven't changed in the past decade bro progressivism was always a thing bro you just didnt notice it back then bro
Aiden Davis
For such a directive, there were barely any topless women. Act 1 boss Andariel, and then the cat women from act 2. I would post a pic but that would get me banned. Here is a panther woman (original Blizzar design) from up close: mobygames.com/game/diablo-ii/promo/promoImageId,288251/ Caution, there are tits. Act 3 and act 4 have none, and the succubi in act 5 aren't topless.
Leo Davis
getting real sick of these kids that think acting like the loudspeaker for any contrary viewpoint is prime fucking comedy

See this? This why these old games used to be GOOD and all new games are SHIT.
Joseph Ramirez
>and the succubi in act 5 aren't topless
Instead they're bottomless, which is even better. Seriously. They're naked from the waist down.
