Ok, I think I fixed one of the issues with another Xbox fishing game.
What did you say earlier?
The cover you're talking about has the woman holding a fishing rod. Maybe the woman actively fishing has something to do with fishing? The cover I posted just has a woman on it staring outwards at the audience and doing nothing else.
You also said that it doesn't make sense that a woman would be on the cover as it's a male dominated sport, but the cover I posted with a woman on it "was fine to begin with". You're not really consistent with your complaints. Or maybe when you were asking about "objectification of women in video games" you really only meant the specific examples in your original post as those are the only games that objectify women under the specific conditions you outlined.
In any case the specific game cover you mentioned is well known as an extreme example of controversial game marketing, it's not like it's a normal type of cover that every company regularly uses.

Not sure about video games, but I tend to buy comics based on how much cleavage is on the cover (looking at you, Zenescope...lol)
This is way more than I care to argue about fishing games, a genre I care little about, but regarding the difference between the two, I think someone would have to be blind to not understand why one is ridiculous while the other is fine.
And yes you proved me wrong, out of the millions of burka wearing women on Earth, there happen to be some that go fishing, just as I am sure there are some that wear bikinis and some that are completely naked. but that is far far from the norm. that would be like a cover of a dude wearing a mankini while driving a sports car. I'm sure there's a picture of that out there somewhere but I dont care to search for it, nor does it make any sense at all.
Davis Cup World Tour on the Mega Drive, the ad also somehow appeared in US magazines at the time. Doesn't expose just a cheek, but the girl's entire butt.

Goddamn that 'fixed' cover was funny. 😄
Everything tends to be oversexualized nowadays, to be honest.
I mean, can they tone it down a little bit? Being turned on all the time can't exactly be healthy for your mental well being.
