Is this one of those things where they count people who play Candy Crush as "gamers"
who cares? its really unimportant. The definition of "gamer" has been changing for a while to accomodate the new forms of games that have been coming out.
It's not a bad thing. There's no benefit in exclusion or elitism. Maybe gamers can even get more respect and less stigma in society as people get to understand the culture more. and that's a great thing.
It actually is very important to the question at hand. Why should console games, which are likely male dominant, have 50% female protagonists, if that's not who the consumers are?
If the consumers of story-driven console games are men who want to play games as men, then why should they not get what they are spending their money for in order to satisfy a political preference?
holy fucking shit, it is a good thing you do not handle any if the creative process in the industry :v ---
