Why are you so threatened by games being made that appeal to both sexes instead of purely adolescent males? Are you that insecure that suddenly no 'guy' games will be made? Ridiculous. We still have 'guy' movies and 'guy' music and we'll always have 'guy' games. But there's no reason as an industry as a whole we can't move towards games being made for all people instead of aimed squarely at one demographic. |
I'm not sure that anybody feels threatened. I've successfully ignored Petz and Babyz and Wii Whatever for some time now. I'm sure I can keep it up.
I think if she had used a different tone but made the same basic points, most people would have yawned and moved on. But she said a lot of abrasive shit based on stereotypes, and that's the sole reason this thread is making you so much VG moneyz.
