Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I feel like the gaming community (not this one) worships Valve (too much). (lemmy.ml)

Valve has done some good things for the game industry: they encouraged modifications, and made some good games.

However, I feel as if the gaming community praises Valve too much.

The gaming community praises Valve's monopoly on game distribution services.

That's about it though.

I play a good bit of DotA 2 and I really like their treatment of female characters. There are a wide range of female characters: a squirrel, a tough fighter, a elderly woman, and more. And instead of putting massive amounts of cleavage on all the models like Blizzard's Warcraft 3 models used in WC3 DotA, they have most amounts if that.

Cleavage sells games.

That was always the assumption, but what if the assumption is wrong or no longer true? It may also have been a side effect of Blizzard's culture, given that Activision-Blizzard currently is being sued for a pattern of sexism including sexual harassment.
