but there are no girls on the internet, only fat men and FBI agents
97% of this forum is a sausege fest, and the straight male population far outweighs the homosexual and female population. The horny nerds demand another pair of ******, and ****** they shall have
Unfortunately correct. Almost every game is marketed towards that all-$ demographic of male 18-24, or whatever the official age span is.
Now that I'm through laughing until I spew tea out of my nose thanks to the "sausage fest" comment....
*looks at boobs* Nope, I'm neither a fat man nor a FBI agent. 
Seriously, women make up half the population in the world and the gaming industry needs to remember that. A good portion of us grew up not playing with Barbie dolls (unless you count going to a friend's house and having GI Joe come in and kill the traitors, Barbie and Ken, and leave them in a pool filled with red Kool Aid to symbolize blood) but playing with toy guns and swords. We played cops and robbers, pretended we were Princess Leia (without the stupid hairstyle) or some much cooler original Star Wars character that ripped of Palpatine's head and shat down his throat so Vader could survive and we could have him to ourselves (okay, maybe that was just me). We sat in the back yard with green army men, digging trenches (much to our parents' dismay) and proceeded to play war. Now, despite the fact that we wanted to be total badasses, we still liked boys (though we just might have beat them up until 6th or 7th grade, but that was just because we liked them).
Now that we're all grown, provided we haven't lost our imaginations and the ability to take joy in "pretending" we're someone else for a few hours here and there, we are ripe targets for the gaming industry. Bioware has realized this, to an extent, but they still suffer from the delusion that all women want are metrosexual, mealy-mouthed, nancy boys who can't make a decision without you telling them what they should want (Kaidan and Alistair) or STD-carrying man****s who nail anything willing to lie still for five minutes (Zevran and Jacob, at least the latter seemed that way to me). They give us a couple of decent guys in Thane and Garrus, but one is more brotherly and the other one will soon be pushing up space worms. Why? If I had to bet they put Thane on his deathbed for the "dramatic" effect. Well, guess what? I freaking hate chick movies, especially ones where characters I like die at the end. This is fantasy...make it fun or violent. Screw the teary eyed drama crap.
That was my point before...Bioware is about the last hope for us females getting a decent shake in the gameworld (unless you're talking about the prissy girls who like playing Barbie games or some such crap). I get it that the horny 18 year olds need to have more ******. That doesn't rule out giving the girls something worth coming back for. They saw fit to expand their customer base by screwing over the RPG fans in order to kiss up to the shooter fans. Why not give the girls something even if it makes the 18 year olds whine a little? It's not like they'll stop buying the game, after all.
Women in the video game industry are still a demographic minority contrary to popular belief. All this crap you hear on the news about "more and more women playing video games" is bullshi.t. Video game developpers are perpretrating that through their social forums, just to attract horny male nerds. "LOL GUISE I HAVE SOCIAL LIFE, I TALK TO GIRLS ON THE INTERNET"
anyone with half a brain can see that women make up less than 10% of the video game community. There is simply not enough time to concentrate on a minority of fans.
Homosapien males have penises. We brag about useless crap over the internet because we enjoy it. Males often discuss their achievements in video games, play multiplayer, and bring their friends for competitive
sessions. In doing so, they unknowingly advertise their game and spread word of it around. They are more willing to pay for extra content and multiplayer crap.
Most girls don't play video because they biologically find no appeal in it. They would rather be busy with their "social lives". i.e shopping for clothes, watching men play sports, throwing layers of cosmetics on their faces, and going to parties because their vanity demands that they must receive compliments on their body every 5 seconds. You do see men do this, and they are called homosexuals. So called homosexuals are become increasingly rare.
Those who aren't busy pretending to have a social life or those who are hopelessly physically unattrative play video games. But they usually keep to themselves and play single player. For them, this is an escape from their real lives. Games are also an escape for males, but males are competitive and love multiplayer. Multiplayer can be over exploited to milk a man out of his money. Girls stick to a few games, and never discuss it with their female friends under fear of being mocked and rejected. Girls suck at multiplayer and aren't popular in multiplayer communities (except for the fat men and FBI agents that pretend to be women), however they do provide an incentive for males to play (lulz im hero protecting the internet girl)
Developping content that appeals to women is simply economically unprofitable for ANY game company. There are not enough of them, they keep to themselves and don't buy worthless addons, they find a lot of shooting and action combat unappealing, and they aren't willing to pay for multiplayer DLC.
Because of the lack of data on women and what they want in video games, Bioware simply does not know what you like. They probably could make some good stuff that appeals to you, if women would start voicing their opinions more. It also helps if a hot girl fan would make a video review (even if those are extremely rare), as that will bring much attention and provoke a nerd rush. Nerd rush numbers will help voice an opinion.
