Do you prefer to play as a male or a female protagonist ? (Hey, there is a poll !)

Most gamers are males. That is the reason. Not sexism.

How come it prevents them from playing a female protagonist ? I like to play with female protagonist (it sounds wrong)

And 45% of gamers are female.

If games are good and have a female protagonists, then gamers will play the games.

What does the 45% figure refer to? Is it referring to gamers on the PS3/360? Or is it including Wii gamers, Facebook gamers, iphone gamers, etc.? If it's the former, then the figure is probably wrong. If it's the latter, then I don't think there's a disproportionate amount of male protagonists/sexism on those platforms.

29% on core gamers audience (source : http://www.gamespot.com/news/women-are-the-new-core-says-microsoft-narrative-designer-6406037 )

Again, does it disturb you as a male (Are you a male ?) to play female protagonists ?

A casual developer says they make up 30% of US gamers (no clue what types of games he's referring to). And then goes to say women are a part of the core. Since this developer is a casual gamer developer, we can assume he's referring to the core of his market - the phone/Facebook gamer market (or whatever casual audience he develops for).

I played Tomb Raider and it doesn't bother me. I also play as female players in a lot of multiplayer games.
