Like from the start and roles were reversed and it was primarily considered a "girl hobby" for a long time.

How would it be different? Would it be as successful?

It'd probably be dead

It's easier to convince women to get into "guy things" than it is to convince men to get into "girly" things.

Is gaming really gender specific?

I thought games appealed to everyone equally just like movies did.

They definitely marketed it as a boy hobby for a long time.

But I mean still, my gf was playing Sonic 2 when it came out and she's much better at it than I am.

I know tons of girls who are into things like GTA, Resident Evil, Call of Duty, etc...

Extreme violence isn't typically seen as appealing to girls. It can be as you pointed out, but no conpany would assume it was in large part marketable as such.

The question is would those still exist if gaming was portrayed as a girl hobby and games since 1980 were made by women for women and marketed mostly to women?

The answer is no.

Nah, I am thinking more dog collars and other bdsm gear.

Or like would esports still have happened? Or things like let's players making millions of dollars? Or twitch.tv?

Men playing games would be coveted and any girl would get wet thinking a dude is one of the rare on's interested in gaming.
Men could make buck streaming shirtless.

Oh dear, couldn't actually argue without jumping right in to flaming? At least other people can be subtle with their accusations.

Don't kid yourself.

Culture isn't what makes the dating market lopsided. It's the vast difference in sex cell production rates.

Ya, you are right. The men who played games would be seen as sissies and mock by men and women.

If all the characters were still male, I don't think the commercials would make a difference.

How would you even make a female centric ad with the popular NES characters as is?

Watch pretty Megaman dazzle his enemies with beautiful lemons.

The part where you said games are bad because they are made by men. But only women would make them good.

@gunplagirl

Hey, just an FYI but I only get notifications if friends tag me.

And I didn't say men make bad games, or that only women make good games. Here, this might help:
