TL;DR: Devs asked their Twitter if they wanted to see 150% breast jiggle physics, deleting the tweet and apologizing after some backlash, which in turn got them more backlash from the other side for caving in.

It was rather obviously meant as a joke, so I'm confused about what people were mad at. Did they think they actually intended it to be included in the game? I would've just liked to see that gif, sounds funny af.

It's so on brand for the gaming industry I'm not at all surprised that people took it seriously.

As for being hilarious, I think it would have been a much funnier if they'd done cock jiggle physics. Turn it on it's head.

I think you're on to something actually. Back when Saints Row 3 came out I read an article explaining how it's childish irreverence toward gender was actually sort of progressive. In character creation there is a boob slider and a dick slider (with insane proportions for both), character voice doesn't have to match the body type, there are no gender restrictions on clothing, characters are available to romance no matter your gender, etc.

Basically the game was so unrestrained and goofy that it subverted some uncomfortable gaming tropes like boob sliders by just letting players do whatever they wanted and not taking it too seriously.

I love Saints Row IV. Such a silly game; great way to just fuck around and blow off some steam.
