Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.
This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.
The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.
- All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
- Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
- If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
- MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
- No generative AI art.

I get that, but the point I'm trying to make is that it shouldn't matter, I don't get upset whenever I see a hunky man on a poster. I understand that a large part of the industry at that specific time where males were a vast majority of the gaming market were producing a lot of advertisement targeted towards their main audience, I just think that it's a severe overreaction to call that sexist, and I especially think it's an overstatement to suggest the "entire industry" was doing that unless you have specific statistics to back that up. If a women(or whoever) can't enjoy the female(or whatever) figure, then that's their personal problem, and would be tantamount to me complaining that the makeup industry is sexist because they don't advertise towards men as often as towards women.
Feels like you might have another person's comment in mind, then. I didn't say anything about what you're talking about.
This is where you said it, also a bit in your comment before that, but moreso I was trying to make an whole point so I did overextend a bit compared to what you had specifically mentioned.
