Video games need more women – and asking for that won't end the world

[SvennoJ]

Action games are like action movies. Why was Dredd not female, no female captain of the Star Trek reboot, no women controlling the mechs in Pacific rim, why no Women of Steel, Iron women, G.I. Jane, The Wolverinette.

Seems games are already ahead in that department with Remember me, Beyond 2 souls, Left behind, Tombraider, Broken age, Contrast, Dreamfall chapters, Transistor, Daylight.

Choice is good, but for a heavily story driven game it doesn't always make sense to have an interchangeable main character.
