| Rainbird said: In many ways I agree. But this is a little over the top, it's not like there are only games with male fantasies in mind made. And splitting gamers by age only is very narrow minded. There has never been, and will never be, a game that appeals to everyone. And for every great movie there is, there will be a ton of shitty movies. The problem in the game industry I think, is that there are too few great games, compared to the "bad" games, and too few of these great games are given the attention they deserve by the media, compared to the bad games. |
There is no reason a game that appeals to everyone cannot be made. I mean it won't appeal to 100% of the public naturally, but certainly a game that appeals equally to men and women, young and old could be made. Just like the great classic movies or great classic songs do.
But not with the current reality of geeky males designing games that appeal to only geeky males. They need to get writers and designers from other industries to come into this one to bring in new ideas and expand the market. Particularly females writers and designers.
