Topic	Ubisoft leadership: "Women don't sell"
hockeybub89 07/21/20 1:17:19 PM #33:	eston posted... One thing people sort of neglect is that female gamers don't necessarily want to play as women all the time. Just like male gamers sometimes want to play as a female character, it works the other way around too. I hate that it's considered such a black and white thing, "girls want to play as girls!" no, gamers just want compelling characters who are appropriate to the setting The sexual breakdown of gamers really shouldn't matter at all to designing characters. "He has a penis. She doesn't have a penis" doesn't really make a character relate to me, but maybe I'm the weird one. Kratos and Lara Croft are both fantasy characters. I don't feel closer to Kratos just because he has a dick under there while he rips people in half.
