The topic of sexualization in video games has been particularly prevalent as games continue to gain mainstream attention. When Rock, Paper, Shotgun interviewed Browder and specifically addressed this topic, Browder gave a response he is now apologizing for on the Heroes of the Storm website.

Dustin Browder is the game director for Blizzard’s upcoming MOBA, Heroes of the Storm. The game features heroes, heroines and plenty more from Blizzard franchises, and it’s Browder’s job to oversee and, as his title might suggest, direct its development. When Rock, Paper, Shotgun interviewed Browder and specifically addressed the artistic direction of many female MOBA characters, Browder gave a response he is now apologizing for on the Heroes of the Storm website.
