This is unfair to her and pigeonholing, even if she comes across like she has blinders on. There's no question that video game development is something of a boy's club right now.

Well, yes. I agree that games hyped highly by the internet and Spike would make the industry seem male-centered. But what about the bajillion Petz, Imagine, movie based, Barbie, Bratz, and other games that appeal to women? Did she even consider Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Cooking Mama, or Nintendogs? I could go on and on with lists of games that appeal to women. And I could even argue that the movie industry is still male-centric with the summer being dominated every year by corny comic book movies.

Those games are okay for little girls but hardly appealling to women. In fact right now, excepting Wii Fit, the industry is pretty damn vacant of any content designed for them. Now a lot of women do enjoy a Zelda, Final Fantasy or Lara Croft adventure but even those titles need to go a LONG way towards being design with that market in mind in the first place. Not instead of males, but as well as.

Hrmm, I guess I should have emphasized female instead. My main problem is that people think that games need to be specifically designed for women, when in fact all there needs to be is more games with appeal to all the different demographics (which is something Nintendo has been doing for a while).
