So Sapphire is no longer featuring hot babes in the boxart. Instead uses that weird robot thing with a heatsink for hair.
I don't know what to make of this world anymore... :(
Nice one
not all female characters are unattractive to all women, or even not all (straight?) men would care about the character
yadayadayada, a robot actually makes more sense than an unrelated movie quality lady character for something related to 'gaming'
i think its a good move that sapphire has change their models.... but robot doesnt seems right... robots are more for kids.. not even teen agers....
although i wouldnt care... the boxes are all in storage anyway...
Women are often desired for public-facing jobs. That's because they're the superior half of our species which is why we put them on box art. It's science.
