Gamers have started a petition, asking that Koei Tecmo bring Dead or Alive Extreme 3 to western audiences.
“It has been stated recently that the game Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will not be ported to western countries out of fear of moral backlash,” the petition begins, then alleging that “Koei Tecmo… is afraid of the cultural outrage occurring in the west over video games, and has chosen to let it get the better of them.”
“This is a mistake,” the petition continues. “The puritan sensationalists are nothing but a self-glorified cabal of bullies and narcissists who are vastly outnumbered by their critics, most of whom are core gamers. The idea that any game should be withheld from its audience because of fear of depicting the female body is so outrageous that it should be called out and challenged wherever it is condoned, lest we give ground to the hackneyed pearl-clutchers who would put the world in a bottle if they had the power to.”
