No this was NOT recent this was when I was very young about 9 or earlier I can't remember properly due to head Injuries when I was 13 and then again at around the 21 22 age mark.

I only snap when :

A.) I'm in agonising physical pain
and
B.) I call someone Out and then get criticized for it.

Looking into incomplete data is also retarded. Looking at data without a proper analysis of said data is retarded as well. Assuming that because something follows a trend, the trend is true is also retarded.

For more than 3 decades, game companies have copied successful concepts, because those were the ones that were selling. Once mario came, mario clones came aplenty. Same for Doom, Diablo, Street Fighter, DOTA, Counter Strike and so on. Games with different concepts will usually not sell well.. See Sacrifice, Psychonauts, Chaos Overlords, Mirror's Edge.
A few times (and it is few), the new concept will be a hit. Recent example, Minecraft. Once it becomes commercially successful, imitators/copycats appear.
So, you have concept A of a saturated market, which has an 80% projection of raking in twice its budget, and you have concept B in a new market, which has a 10% projection of raking in 20 times its budget. Which one will you fund, the low-risk safe investment or the high risk high reward one?

As for the part that the majority is straight males, why can't straight males enjoy other kind of games? What if I like sport games, gambling games, farming games, deep strategy games, or racing over pedestrians? All of those are valid choices for the straight male, and quite nice choices for the other groups. Yet still, the game types that are developed are few. Why?

I'm not going to call the publishers retarded. I'm going to say that they prefer a safe investment over a risky one.

I know it's wrong for me, I really like playing Female characters and actually prefer it since it gives a fresh view but I don't have much faith in others when only 18% chose FemShep despite having a far superior voice actress to MaleShep's utterly bland voice actor.

Given that she has many more episodes to go I don't think each video needs to be like a tv sitcom where everything is wrapped up by the end. Laying one's groundwork takes time.

It's the infinity-loop of insipid idiocy.

I asked that if it was more profitable to sell to women, should they stop making games for men. I take that as a yes.

While I was at university, I once got sternly scolded by my female schoolmate because I dared to open doors for her and her friend. I never dared to do it again.

It is because there is no choice. My partner, who is female (Yes they do exist) is a gamer, and for the last year she has not bought a single AAA game as there is nothing there for her, she has bought nothing but small casual games for her fix... She did buy me a couple, and she tried them, but the comment most times are in the line of "God, why did they have to do that" and "this really put me off that game".

She sometimes have to swallow really big chunks of narrative she do not like, it takes her out of the game, ruin emersion and so on. But if she want to play she has no other options. And she really likes to play games, so she does, but do you think this is really fair?

Actually, it's most profitable to target and sell to each demographic.

I have an active imagination(sure not as active as yours)and I see women as people so nice try. The reason I think maybe you castrated yourself is because your past words seem to express a hatred for men.
It's not wrong. It just means you have an extremely powerful imagination. I do not have such an imagination. OR it could mean something else but don't feel like going into that right now.
Not when it comes to PC and console games, shit for brains.

In all honesty, I don't mid her videos that much. As long as you bear in mind that it's a specifically feminist rather than a more general analysis of the games, they're decent enough for what they are. Don't get me wrong, it's no Extra Credits, but at the same time Anita is hardly the second coming of Roger Ebert that many rather insecure gamers seem to think she is. Really now, people need to seriously chill the fuck out.

Anyway, I didn't mind her recent video so much. Though her rather sever misinterpretation of the plot of GTAIII did give me some rather severe nerd rage. The whole motivation for that game was getting revenge on Catalina. Claude had no interest in Maria, she was just useful in leading him to her. Not to mention, the reason he shot her right before the end credits isn't because she's such a stereotypically vapid mob trophy wife, but because she lied to Salvatore about fucking him, which meant that instead of being a made man with the Leone family, he had them trying to kill him along with the Colombians. Really now, she's no love interest or anything of the sort, and the only reason she wasn't killed sooner is because she was his in with the Yakuza. She was not a love interest or even desired by Claude in any sense of the word.

Glad that's out of my system. But yeah, all of this sheer hatred is utterly ridiculous. People really need to calm their tits.

Yeah, would you mind pointing out how I hate men? It should be easy, according to your weird meltdown?

They do know that there is a bigger demand for action shooter than horror games (i.e. sales). By your theory, Gear of Wars fans would have surged up. You're contradicting yourself.

And by the way, have you ever heard of faking your ID details? It's quite popular among female players who don't want to be harassed on Xbox Live, for example.

No it's not fair. And I feel for her, really. I think everyone should have access to lots of entertainment that they can enjoy but capitalism says no... She is a minority. Not many people out there in this world like her and spending massive amounts of money making games women like her would love, is not the ferengi <- star trek... aka capitalist way.
