And that is something that the activists lose: it is also why Bollywood and Hong Kong movie studios still make money. [There has not been a movie this year that makes me want to pay $40 in effect (seat plus parking plus popcorn) to see it].

Has always gamed. I game a tidbit… I decided that being a “tailor” in endless fantasy games was a little pointless and started learning to sew IRL. But I played WoW for years, EQ, Rift, Guild Wars… you get the concept. Games where the sexes mix and the guys don’t mind being less ruthless so long as the women can keep up. (The elite guilds tend to skew largely male, it’s hard to convince a female she wants to spend that many hours/wk raiding – and they’re using faster reactions to take down elite mobs, reactions that *most* women don’t have. Some do, and I know a few. But not most. Your professional gamers, they’re men).

I’m not paying a lot of attention to gamergate, because I know what guygamers like – they like Call of Duty, and they like the stuff that DH can’t even play in the house because the words and action are so filthy he doesn’t want the kids around it. Please. Does anyone remember Duke Nukem?

As long as the market drives sales, bloody first-person-shooters will outsell politically correct games. If ONE maker ignores gamergate and people trying to make with the nicey-nice and keeps making loud bloody games… then that maker will come out the other end with money.

And hey, if they pay attention to gamergate, I guess they can sell the games to the tweens whose moms are looking for “appropriate” computer games.
