The easy answer is that doing it both ways means more design work. But compared to the benefit that the company could get from more satisfied female gamers, which likely make up around 40 percent of its market, couldn’t that little extra work go a long way, not only toward a more contented fanbase but toward promoting gender equality in games themselves?"
It is not about "coulds" and "hypotheticals" with these people. They will focus on what they know will make them money. Everything else is a second thought.
This is the food that goes in their mouths. THe clothes that goes on their back. Even if the numbers are a 60/40 split in favor of males the majority of the effort will be going towards the male side and then you end up with exactly what you have been promised. "you are going to see femhawke soon"
What that means we do not now so that is a discussion best saved for 3-4 months or so from now. Trust me BioWare has not let me down with making a fun game in a long time (Shattered Steel and I say fun not the "super awesome best game ever" because I am a realist"
And that brings up that I just cannot (it is not possible for me) to understand why some one says they see a guy and dismiss the game. If I was to make a list of the games with only a female protaganist that I love it would be decently long, and thats not including books and movies.

The brutal part? Women as a gender are really brutal. There may be some people who like to go on Fox news and make fools of themselves. But then there are others who enjoy shows like Spartacus and True Blood. I don't think anyone is asking for less butt kicking.
And being raised as a guy by a single mother in a house with 3 older sisters I know that to be true. I have the scars (and a screw in my jaw) to prove it.
My mother is a military veteran. She stand about 5 foot 2 inchs I was prolly about 6 foot 4 inches when this happened when I was 15. I called her a **** and she clocked me in the jaw (in front of ALL my close friends at that time) not only did she break my jaw she knocked me unconscious. I still hear about that day.
As far as the rest are concerned the women in my family have this habit of throwing whatever is within arms reach when someone is pissing them off. So take a walk around your home and it has probably been thrown at me by the ladies I love most in the world and let me tell you that is the only time they can throw with any decent accuracy.
And that is not a slight against women its just the truth about them in my family.
I have seen them throw tennis balls behind them and the story about my mother in grenade training but ****** them off they will drill you between the eyes at 50 yards.
I know I am rambling at this point but can anyone see why some men might be a bit apprehensive? I say something that can easily be taken out of context (women cant throw) and I have to make sure I fully elaborate on it to be sure that it is perfectly clear that as a man saying it I am not going to be called a chauvinistic pig. (even tho chauvinistic is a exaggerated bellicose patriotism) Damn saved by the bell. Rambling again and I know I am on Woo's hit list. At least I made it thru so many posts without mentioning waffles.
