Stellar Blade was a massive triumph and the game has received universal praise for both the right and wrong reasons. It is rare to see game developers step out of their comfort zone and create something bold and daring.
The game stars Eve, a soldier with a striking physique who tends to gain a strong reaction from the gaming community, and a new update was rolled out to address this gross and immature behavior from players.
Eve Is Finally Taking a Stand Against Creepy Stellar Blade Players
The gaming community was curious to learn more about Stellar Blade, and it is safe to say that this project exceeded expectations. Director Kim Hyung-Tae spent years working on this project and it was uncommon to see a mobile game developer make a massive leap to console game development. Many of the director’s colleagues believed it was an enormous gamble and this only fueled Shift Up’s determination to create something worthwhile and memorable.
While most players praised the game for being original and borrowing concepts and other gameplay mechanics from the successful Soulslike genre, other players are interested in it because it enables them to be the creeps they are. There is no easy way to tackle this subject without addressing the elephant in the room and the provocative character design of Eve and other female characters in the Stellar Blade universe.

Although the game director did not shy away from the subject of risque designs, the intention was never to lean towards that area to gain attention or notoriety. Kim wanted to show the gaming community that protagonists with daring designs can be viewed as a symbol of power and not lust. A new update has been released and Eve is now sending a clear message to creeps by kicking the camera away from her backside.
Other game developers in a similar situation should follow this example. This gross behavior should not be tolerated. Players shouldn’t take advantage of how a game works. How a person behaves in other mediums should be considered as a reflection of their true personality.
