I noticed these last few years that there is a lot of threads in forums complaining about sexualization of women in games and i was thinking is there really a lot of games with female sexualization these days? since all the forums complaining about this are western i thought maybe there is a lot of western games also sexualize women in their games since i didn't think all this complaining was just for Japanese games which was made by Japanese developers and their primary target audience is the Japanese gamers so why western gaming forums complain about this unless some western games also sexualize women, so i started to look for these western games.
I remember playing Horizon and all the outfits were covering aloy from head to toe and the most revealing outfit was showing only her midriff so no fanservice in this game, then i remembered another game with a female lead released this year ( Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and there is 34 different outfits in this game so i was sure that at least 3 or 4 of them will be sexy outfits so i watched this video to make sure.
to my surprise there was not a single outfit from the 34 that sexualize Lara, i started reading the comments to see if this is what people want and most of them was like this....
So yeah, the target audience definitely wants sexy outfits but the question here is why western developers dont want to cater to them just like the Japanese devs?
I thought maybe the devs of these AAA games dont want anything sexual in their games since a lot of children play AAA games these days, so i started to look for an AAA game with a male lead also released this year ( PS4 Spider man) and started looking for his outfits and oh boy....
An outfit that is just his underwear, so the western devs of this game dont have anything against sexy outfits so they gave their female gamers a fanservice outfit. so i thought since this is the case than clearly male gamers will get a sexy outfit for one of the female characters in this game specially after Black Cat was announced to be in the game since her comics outfit is sexy.
and Nope.
Covered from head to toe.
So whats going on guys, is there a secret law that forbids showing the female skin in western games that all western devs had to follow or they will be fired? and with 100% of western AAA games with 0% female Sexualization i have to wonder why western gamers in forums and Social media are still complaining about rampant female sexualization in games? im not from the west so i was just wondering whats going on.
Update:
If western gaming companies was really listening to female gamers even games like Call Of Duty will have hot women, here is a well known streamer and a Youtuber asking them
Of course SJWs started to silence her and tell her to go play something else
She even gets harassed by someone working for Insomniac Games because she likes to sculpt and draw sexy women.
Like clockwork SJWs tell her to shut up.
I see this all the time, real women gets harassed and bullied by SJWs for liking sexy outfits in their games, SJWs will only defend virtual women from the male gaze it seems.
Update 2:
Beware female gamers, if you want sexy female characters in games then you will be harassed for days.
So a female artist got harassed and called transphopic by an Insomniac dev because she pointed out that Lady from Devil May Cry 5 looked masculine and that her jaw was wider and she wanted it to be more sexier.
The harassment continued for two days between December 29th, 2018 and December 30th, Eventually Layna became tired of the harassment, which she claims began to invade her DMs, and issued a publicly statement about the incident on December 31st, 2018.

Update 3:
Mr. David Jaffe the creator of the God of War franchise shared his opinion about the topic of this thread, its very interesting to see the point of view of a veteran game dev who worked in the video game industry for years, i find his opinion about the exclusion of fanservice from western games in recent years very important , so thank you Mr. Jaffe much appreciated.
