Why not?
Let me guess: Prey: Mooncrash?
I have no problem with ugly characters as long as the game is interesting.

Games aren't made for men anymore. They're made for a "modern audience". It means companies need to pander to a few individuals that complain about things.

it's cause of people trying to pander to a certain audience instead of being made for all, including said audience, you could simply just make it possible to be any type of character, but no they instead decide to make it so that you can only be a single type, not that i'm hating on who they are trying to represent, but i'm disgusted in the fact that their goal of including everyone, has become something that only includes one, and is forced upon everyone they deem should be like how they wish.

equality should be unquestioned and remain true, but in this day and age, it is a pleasure that almost next to none can enjoy.

Probably a realism, change of beauty standards or suitability of the game's environment and settings with Western developers. However Asian developers seem to keep their characters quite "pretty" i.e. fan service and waifus.

(Whispers) Fan made mods does wonders :hp_kyu:

mods are great!
until a certain community against the equality of it wants it forcefully taken down, and will stop at nothing to rid said game of the mod.

in my opinion, the fan service isn't really needed either as it just draws in people to the games yes but, games should be open for all in the sense of looks, not open to one.

Their asses are mostly fine, it's their faces which are the problem.

Did Fable 4 trailers disappoint? That game that everyone perpetually says is in development, and have been saying for like that past 10 years.

Why should a character "represent" anyone? Are you going to complain when they are a samurai because you are not one?

i'd not complain on such, the choices of the designs for characters within games that aren't customized by said player are simply just characters, they can be whatever the devs want it to be.
what i mean here is the players customization availability for looks.

would you be pleased if a game forcibly made you appear female or male regardless of you wishing to be the same as you currently are?

that isn't really a problem for many as they just roll with it yeah, but when the looks begin to shift into.. well you already know what they did with pokemonGO to understand what i mean here.

that is when it's problematic
