Personally I think they should've instead added erotica photos for all the NPCs to balance it out, but that's just me 🤷

Sure, but promoting the explicit sexual exploitation of women doesn't seem to be the answer.

Like, maybe not pushing for taking sexually explicit photos of un-consenting persons?

One of these categories was Erotica, which gave players PP for taking photos of women’s cleavage, underwear or any other revealing clothing.

If you dont want to buy the game without that, then you don't want to buy the game, you want to buy Girls Gone Wild.

Yeah, I think the people arguing for this don't understand the full context. You get extra points for taking the equivalent of upskirt photos of women who are being attacked by or in fear of being attacked by zombies. It's textbook exploitation.

I can't immediately think of a context where it would be better, but... it isn't this.

I don't know the game well - never played its original release and I likely won't play this remake - but from what I understand, the women in question are zombies, so consent isn't really a factor.

If anything, removing this feature slightly reduces immersion and significantly changes the main character's personality. I can understand why someone who was a fan of the original would be hesitant to get the remake, since the main character is a different person, morally speaking.

It's like Star Wars - Han shot first, and changing that doesn't change the story in any real way, but it significantly changes Han's character.

Cold, actually.
