Women make up 47% of all gamers, and that number is still growing. The problem isn't that there is no demand, obviously there is. This post is a prime example of that. There are many problems in the game industry, but the vast numbers of female gamers, as well as there being a definite demand is not one of them. http://www.theesa.com/facts/gameplayer.asp
  permalinkembedparent[+]JamesTBagg comment score below threshold-19 points-18 points-17 points 2 years ago (5 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onBut female gamers aren't showing the industry any reason to change. Employing current marketing strategy female gamers are already half the market, according to that link. So from a companies point of view there is no reason to change tactics. They are selling games to you without specifically catering to you. Females are buying, playing and enjoying the current menu of games. So I don't really see a basis for the complaint. permalinkembedparent[–]Blakdragon39ALL THE SYSTEMS/LoL 13 points14 points15 points 2 years ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onWe're showing them by being here and talking about this. We're showing them by making a big deal out of something no one wants to listen to. If we all just sat back and said "oh ho hum, still no games that treat me like a person," nothing would happen. You can't target a demographic you don't even realize exists. So we make ourselves known.

Then, you claim sexist games make sense from a marketing point of view because women are buying games in large numbers. And then you say we have no basis for complaining about it, because we're encouraging it either way.
  permalinkembedparent[–]JamesTBagg -5 points-4 points-3 points 2 years ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onYou are not the target demographic. Males are and guys want to look at attractive women. But you are still buying and playing the games. You are not influencing developers to change. So yes, I am saying that. If women are honestly 47% of gamers them apparently there is no need for developers to change. If half their customers suddenly stopped buying you would force them to change. permalinkembedparent[–]FuchsiaGauge 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (1 child)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on
  permalinkembedparent[–]JamesTBagg -5 points-4 points-3 points 2 years ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI've been told that, though I wasn't intending to sound that way here. I'm only trying to provide counter points. Maybe the way companies look at things. permalinkembedparentaboutblogaboutteamsource codeadvertisejobshelpsite rulesFAQwikireddiquettetransparencycontact usapps & toolsAlien Blue iOS appreddit AMA appmobile betabuttons<3reddit goldreddit storeredditgiftsreddit.tvradio redditUse of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. © 2015 reddit inc.
