First of all, I'm not gonna lump "women" in with minorities because they are not and it's too generalized to use in this way. If a dev changes something in their game to pander to minorities or to be "progressive" enough then yes but then again, a lot of things restrict a game dev's creative freedom. It's rare though to see any business cater to minorities unless that's their market in the first place. It's logical for a business to design and make a product that has the most appeal to the largest demographics within a market. 

I think devs should be able to create games well outside of today's politics and agendas. 


Note very carefully that I did not call women minorities in the post. Please read carefully before jumping to conclusions.

I agree with your last statement though.


Well, the reason why I mentioned that is because for a while now, I noticed that when people mention minorities in political discussions, they often include women as if they are minority. It's been a growing irritation for me. When I read the OP, your wording reminded me of it and irked me enough to say something about it.
