Why are you spouting data like it's factual if you don't do stats?

All I am going to say is women and men should be treated the same, have the same pay, and be able to play whatever video games they like. This thread is becoming ridiculous now, women play video games just as much as men, yes there should be more women in games, especially strong women who are portrayed as heroines.

But now this is becoming something else, to the people who have nothing nice or intelligent to say please stop posting your rubbish, and get to the real subject matter please.

video games are for children anyway

And women love children. Your move, S-Lax.

If you choose to rely on stats, be my guest. I dont research stats. I know they can say anything someone needs them to say. Have you never come across stats in direct conflict with each other, and both citing seemingly credible sources? Are you young? I have seen it time and time and time again.

Again, best of luck. I have no power in games. Email your stats to those who do.

Do you have stats that contradict the ones that I have?

Data and stats are for nerds. DIE NERDS.

Worse yet... they're naive.

You don't know how arguments work, do you?

Uh huh.

I didnt spout data. Sue me. If anything, i said "data" on this level is,at best, a joke.


And no, i dont have the data that contradicts any other data, as i said i dont research data. If you folks dont think data is manipulated to the end goal of manipulating you....well....not much i can do for you.

I made a claim and provided evidence for it, you made a claim and have shown nothing. Have you shown any proof as to WHY this data has been manipulated?

Another good point. Just like little boys daydreamed about finding adventure and danger, so did a lot of little girls. Video games provide a really fun way to play through these fantasies.

Again, best of luck, blah blah money etc.

You keep saying to inspire change with money, but that's really simplifying it. In Uncharted 3 I play as a daring adventurer. Nathan Drake is a guy. Would I like playing as a girl in order to self inser myself in the fantasy better? Sure. Will I not buy Uncharted 3 because it has a male protagonist? No. It's a fun game.

So, using the whole "buy the right games" logic, by buying Uncharted 3, I've basically sent the message "Yes, more adventurer guys. No girls". And like others have said; what if there's no option for what I would like? You make due with what's out there.

Sending a message with money only goes so far because of the way the industry is set up. Like Trickie said, it's an industry that's been very slow to change.

 

[Observers]

Everyone is missing the big point...

I posted a picture of a cat with a game controller... PHOTO proof they are learning,

47% of homes have a cat. in the US alone.. if they continue to learn they may rise up..

They already make us feed and clean up there litter, just imagine them with uncontrolled power?

WAKE UP PEOPLE the Catpocolypse is upon us!

Why does everybody get so autistic about the gender of characters in vidya? If Jace can modify a game to include tons of weed and a fabulous rainbow-coloured marinedog called Soap, why can't y'all dudes and dudettes do the same? If Commander Stryker can do it, so can you!

Assuming you're not joking:

1) That's not going to be easy for any game that's not on PC. If it's on a console or handheld device, you need to hack into it first, which often includes expensive equipment and the risk of bricking your expensive vidya console.

2) If I can't complain about video games without being told to shut up and go make my own games (sure, let me just put my life on hold to do the job of several dozen programmers, artists, and writers all by myself) then I'm going to have to insist that nobody complain about anything in video games ever again unless they're making a video game themselves.

Money doesnt talk? Lololol.

Women are spending money on games, women ask for games with women in it. Using your argument, we should be seeing more games with women as the main protagonist.
