The Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 scandal continues!

Yesterday, we wrote about how Team Ninja and Tecmo Koei doesn’t want to release Dead or Alive‘s spin-off series Xtreme‘s third episode outside Asia despite having an English version of the game for both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita.

The game wouldn’t be published by Tecmo Koei due to sexualization of the women, making the release limited around the world. We might still see the game in North-American and European shops if the publisher accepts the offers of two distinct parties. The successful Steam game HuniePop’s developer, HuniePot offered one million dollars to Tecmo Koei to grant them the US publishing license. Online web store Instacodez went a step further and offered two million dollars for the European license.

Although it’s possible that only money talks, maybe this is not the case here. Instead, both HuniePot and Instacodez might just try to step up against people, who are against sexualization. We fully support a much freer game market.
