Koei Tecmo knows about those pictures of Dead or Alive's fighters, and isn't happy about them.

Congratulations for making it weird, publisher.
- Not to mention, there is a fetish for that. So now they made it worse

jiggle physics daughters, to be precise.
- Pioneers when I was a teen

Maybe don't whore out your daughters?
- In this economy?
  
  Yes. The test of morals is if you stick to them when they hinder you the most. Koei just doesn’t like people doing what they've always done.

They publish games that focus heavily on getting new swimsuits for their "daughters". What did they expect to happen?
- Wellness checks to be sent to their homes to check on their real daughters?

100% this is just cover for them wanting to have a monopoly on the sexy content of their characters. Cause the main appeal of these games seems to be how sexy the characters are so if you could go to some other website and look at them there instead then you wouldn't need to buy the game.
- Agreed, I do find it interesting they're being protective of the IP at all given that it seems they've kinda given up on it and delegated it to just being about idol volleyball for that sweet mtx money. Maybe they do intend on making another game for the franchise. Honestly they should just go all in on the sexiness instead of their half-assed attempt at making is take them seriously.

From the same series that has two volleyball games.
With a focus on "social" gifting including skimpier swimwear and suggestive posing.
With a story that revolves around a rich pervert wanting a bunch of young girls in bikinis running around.

What are you doing, stepdaughter?

Everyone is trying to cash in on the incest craze

Maybe don't insist your daughters dress like that then...
Be like the guy who designed Lara Croft, who left the company when they made all the marketing for the game all "phwoar, look at that eh, fellas!"
You can't just have principles when it suits you.

2000 to 3000?
I wonder how many pictures that actually covers. 0.1%? 0.5%? 0.77%?
- 41,264 images tagged with Dead_or_Alive, so about 5% (rule34)
  38,723 images tagged using both the English and Japanese names, also about 5% (Pixiv)
  
  Well, that's a higher % then I expected, but now I wonder what criteria they were really using.

I had this camel toe created with care that a man can only show through the love of one's daughter as a father.

If i understand that right, they are characters in a fighting game?
- A fighting game whose major selling point was breast jiggle physics.
- The “parents” released two games called “Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball” (1 and 2) where they were in skimpy swimsuits and they literally had a team of developers that focused on “jiggle physics” to make sure their breasts bounced as accurately as possible. Nice way to treat your “daughters”.
  On a side note, content aside, those were actually good games and it wasn’t like they were going pure ecchi, the volleyball portion and side games worked pretty well.
  
  There's also Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, which has all that plus pole dancing scenes and VR support.
  
  Don't forget the multiple modes and features that put the "physics" front and center. If I recall right from old reviews, the analog stick calibration and testing "feature" is two girls trying to balance on pool floats while you tip the floats around with the sticks, with the camera putting the jiggle front and center.
- With jiggle physics. I remember laughing so hard when played the original on Dreamcast.
  
  Setting age to 99 never looked so jiggly.

Not to mention the pedo-bait character, Marie Rose.

"Yes officer, this company right here: Koei. See what they said? Now look at the game. Holy shit, there's definitely something wrong, right?"

The unfortunate implications of the daughters flex are overwhelming. Also rule 34bis not merely a rule of the internet but biology. All the critters that weren't sufficiently ~~thirsty~~ desperate to rut as often as possible died out long before simioids descended from the trees.
