No offense Gaiiden, but I hate these threads with a passion. And I hate the articles to.
Girls play games. More girls than you think. There is no way to make more play games except a natural evolution. As Paul said, part of this evolution is more females being involved in the creative process. This cannot be forced, it will happen, just as it has in all other media.
I can''t figure out where people get the notion that girls don''t play games. I just can''t. they do. They''re all over. Everywhere. No evidence otherwise. I know a bunch. Most of them choose not to play Diablo or Unreal, but then again a great deal of them do. I choose not to play Diablo or Unreal, does that make me a girl?
Fact is, the "hardcore" gamers games do not make up the majority of sales. Deer Hunter does. I don''t know why. If that reflects the dominant male market, then so be it. We can only take that as an indication that women are more intelligent than us.
It''s a painfully male thought that something can be "done" to make more girls play games. Like they are a flat out different kind of human being, who have no interest in the way things are now. Bullshit. This is an imagined problem, and even what little bit of a real problem there is will be super-easy to remedy by women themselves when they choose this is an issue they want to fight. Till then, can we please shut up and try to make some good games, so that everyone can enjoy them?
