Dead Island Riptide's Collector Edition is a bad, bad idea

A picture is worth a thousand words:


Deep Silver, what were you thinking? In the past few months, the video game industry has been forced to deal with the plight of women gamers, journalists and developers after having the rampant sexism exposed through Twitter's #1ReasonWhy campaign. Perhaps European sensibilities are slightly different than American but after the public outcry/shaming not only have you planned to release a collector's edition featuring a statue of brutalized, armless woman; you've created a statue of a brutalized armless woman with pronounced tits. 

There aren't enough Facepalm Picards for this. We'll see how long until Deep Silver pulls the product for "retooling."
