It is no different than babes at Car shows or any other tradeshow. It is a standard and attacking E3 is not going to help it.
I can understand feeling uncomfortable with playing a unit tethered to a sexy woman if you're like that. But they are all part of having fun. And women in part have to step up and say "I don't want to be paid to look good on the show floor". My girl was offered a position as a booth babe for that very screenshot. She didn't take it because she wouldn't feel comfortable earning money that way. Mind you I might have complained, but she said that before I got a word in.
The "industry" involved with this needs to stop beating around the bush and let women respect and decide for themselves. It is not the worst thing to be hired as a rep in a good looking uniform to have a little fun at a show that is well, about having fun and seeing everything.
We are no better with the videos of "Look at me ask game questions to women who have no idea!" -- so I have a hard time taking these concerns seriously.
