If developers could make any game they want, with any type of character... I'm telling you that it would be a different story. Why? Because the Execs that right the checks for us to make games make the rules the majority of the time. I know this first hand (and I am a white male).
I pitched a game with only females as characters - Response -> "Nobody will buy that..."
I pitched a game taking place in Mexico, with nothing but Latino characters - Response -> "There's not a big enough market for that"
I pitched a game about how Canada breaks up into Islands (with monsters and shit) - Response -> "Does it have to be in Canada? Can't it happen to L.A. or somewhere else like that?"
Funny, if it weren't true.
