This episode examines how female sidekicks and companions in games are often designed to function as glorified gatekeepers, helpless burdens, and ego boosters, a pattern that works to reinforce oppressive notions about women as the ones in need of protection and men as the ones in control, who take action and do the protecting. We then feature some games with relationships that subvert traditional power fantasy mechanics, putting players on something closer to equal footing with their AI companions as they offer examples of what real communication, compromise, and mutual support in games might look like. Full transcript for this episode: http://wp.me/p7K8cI-aLy ABOUT THE SERIES The Tropes vs Women in Video Games project aims to examine the plot devices and patterns most often associated with female characters in gaming from a systemic, big picture perspective. This series will include critical analysis of many beloved games and characters, but remember that it is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of it’s more problematic or pernicious aspects.

This video explores how the Damsel in Distress became one of the most widely used gendered clichés in the history of gaming and why the trope has been core to the popularization and development of the medium itself. As a trope the Damsel in Distress is a plot device in which a female character is placed in a perilous situation from which she cannot escape on her own and must then be rescued by a male character, usually providing a core incentive or motivation for the protagonist's quest.

It's happened to all of us at least once. A game that we might have loved suddenly disappears (or is patched out). There's no way to access it or find it... except through roms. That's okay. You bought it once right? That means it's yours! Weeellll... The legal grounds of ownership can get trickier than you might expect, especially as more and more of our media becomes digital exclusive. Luckily we have lawyer Ryan Meyer from the law firm of Dorsey & Whitney LLP (https://www.dorsey.com/) here to explain what an archival copy really means.

Games can be only two or three hours long and still be worth every dollar charged for them. Stretching out playtime to meet an arbitrary goal doesn't make the game any better, but it would force developers to go over budget. Kneejerk reactions too often cause short games to get bad reviews even when they deliver on an excellent experience.

Trademark and copyright play important roles in the gaming industry. The need to defend trademarks has spurred many companies to undertake unpopular lawsuits. On the other hand, attempts to copyright or patent game designs have been rejected, which allows developers to incorporate new ideas into their own work but leaves them unprotected from clone games.

But actually, the role of game designer can mean a few different things, especially in bigger companies where people tend to specialize more. So which kind of game designer are you? Are you someone who dreams up worlds as a content designer? Draw out maps and place spawn points like a level designer? Balance numbers and spreadsheets as a systems designer?

Let's talk numbers: marketing, office space, dev tool licenses, voice actors, and more that goes into the average AAA game budget. Why do some games never turn a profit while others seem to magically make it work on the cheapest budget possible?
