Game developers (or the ones who give projects the go ahead) know that guys are more likely to buy games like deep down than women.
The games industry was built primarily by men and men are more likely to in-vision games where the lead character is male. And because its been so male orientated for so long its a risk for developers to go outside the mainstream gaming norm and go with a female protagonist.
But with more and more companies taking risk and creating more and stronger female characters change is occurring.
What disconnects me from discussing female protagonist is when as opposed to positive talk about great female protagonist in games future and present and what kind of female protagonist (or male) the gaming industry has yet to touch on is negative attacks on games that are geared towards men. There will never be a time when there are not some games geared towards some distinctly male taste such as Dragons Dogma and I believe that's ok.
This is the Game of Thrones
Where you either win
or you DIE
