Just a couple of examples of how this situation is playing out.

The 2013 study on Sales, Demographic and Usage Data conducted by the Entertainment Software Association found that 45% of the United States gaming population are female.

So there is more then ample representation there.

The International Game Developers Association found in their Game Developer Satisfaction Survey that women make up just 22% of game developers. This is nearly double the percentage reported in its 2009 survey

Less then ample here, but is this because they don't want to be part of that industry? Or because its actually hard for them being a female?

This dynamic has been made obvious with the recent blunderings of Ubisoft at this year’s E3. In June, the studio announced that it’s upcoming installment in the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, will feature a four-player co-op mode, a first for the series. However, that co-op mode will not include any female assassins. When pressed, Ubisoft creative director Alex Amancio stated, “it’s double the animations, it’s double the voices, all that stuff and double the visual assets… Especially because we have customizable assassins. It was really a lot of extra production work.”

So clearly it does cost developers.

Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, featuring the first non-optional, playable, black, female character in a major video game.

So maybe they didn't include female assassins in Unity, because it wasn't part of the story they wanted to tell?

In a 2012 study, Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR) took a survey of 669 and found that whilst only 24 (4%) of these games featured female protagonists at least 300 of these games allowed the player to choose a character who could be male or female.

So just under half of the games in that study you could play as a female

In a 2010 study done by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) it was found that the most used consoles by females was the Wii at 80% followed by the XBox360 at 11% and Ps3 at 9%. If we look at the top selling games for the Wii console then we can clearly see that only ONE game out of the top 10 games features in the genres that were studied by the EEDAR and that was Super Smash Bros Brawl under action. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying that girls don’t play action/shooter games or that guys only play these games, but as far as the data is concerned it shows that the majority of female gamers (at least in the US) aren’t going to play games that settle into the action and shooter genres; regardless of whether they have female protagonists or not.

Hmm so evidence suggests that women enjoy different types of genres, who'd have thought that. Maybe Call Of Duty just isn't a female game?

To start let’s look at some of the games made by female developers that have gone on to reach critical acclaim.

King’s Quest was developed by Roberta Williams, the co-founder of Sierra Entertainment. This game is widely considered to be a classic and integral part in the history of modern video games. This graphic adventure game allowed Sierra Entertainment to rise to fame before it was sold to CuC International in 1996 for around $1.5 billion.

M.U.L.E was developed by Danielle Bunten in 1983 and despite only selling 30,000 copies it was named number 5 on PC World’s “Ten Greatest PC Games Ever“. It was also placed 19th on 1up.com’s most important video games of all time.

N: Way of the Ninja was developed in 2005 by Mare Sheppard, despite being a simple freeware game it received many awards and was re-released as a portable game for the PSP and Nintendo DS.

Portal was worked on by Kim Swift who was the project lead and level designer at Valve. This game went on to become one of the most popular games on Steam as well as winning multiple awards.

The list goes on and on, hell, even a game I loathe with every fibre of my being called Journey managed to win multiple awards and was developed by a woman called Kellee Santiago who also worked on Flow and Flower. It boggles my mind that radical feminists love to claim that there are no important female game developers whilst this list exists;

I've played most of the games above and i love them. I couldn't give a **** if a monkey developed them games, but they are a perfect example of how ******** this feminist crap in gaming actually is.

Your victim complex is so bad that you think you're at the bottom of the chain? I'm sure people the world over are arranging a telethon right now for the plight of the 1st world, white male. We are really struggling these days.

How about you get a grip of yourself. In the words of Chris Rock:

Chris Rock ladies and gentleman, a man of wisdom. Sigh...
 
You don't think it's bad that of 669 games, only 4% featured female protagonists?

Letting you play a female in 'at least 300' might only be related to the multiplayer portion of the game. I don't know many games that give you the choice in the single player portion, other than most RPG's.

And if the list of female developers does "go on and on" why have they only mentioned 4-5 games?
 
Why are you lot so hung up on Anita Sarkeesian? Methinks someone has a crush ;)

She's just one person on a soapbox. Only reason she has as much publicity as she has is because of the man-babies crying about girls playing with their toys.
 
What's with all this equality anyway? Since when have women ever been equal to men and more importantly, deserve to be equal?

It's up there with being told that a stay at home mum is harder work than slaving in a job all week. Nope, no it's not... It's ****ing easy work.

Women just know your place and be happy you get that much.

Also, what? You think guys are annoyed that she (may or may not be) into games? ROFL

Troll.

According to data gathered by Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR) in 2012, few video games have exclusively female heroes. This is in part because, according to EEDAR, "there's a sense in the industry that games with female heroes won't sell

So again this proves that developers are more then willing to make female menstruation games, they are just scared it wont sell. Nothing to do with them being sexist or sexist driven industry.

A 2013 study by Flurry looked at the different mobile gaming preferences between men and women. Women made up 60-80% of the solitaire, slots, social turn-based, match-three / bubble-shooter, management / simulation and quiz game markets. Men on the other hand, made up between 60-80% of the strategy, shooter, card battle, racing and action RPG markets.

A 2014 SuperData Research study found that men and women enjoy video games, but some genres tend to attract one gender over the other: Women compose 57.8 percent of the mobile market, 53.6 percent of the RPG market and 50.2 percent of the PC market (including social games). The study found that men make up 66 percent of MMO players, 66 percent of FPS players and 63 percent of digital console players.

So it seems here that the women who play video games, choose different genres to what men choose. So moaning that Call of Duty doesn't have a female character is irrelevant because well females barely play it.

So 53% of the RPG market are females and yet you can also select a female in RPGs. Its almost like they have the majority in the RPG market, so there shouldn't be any complaints there.
 
Money is king at the end of the day, if female-focused games aren't profitable, they'll go back to making Manly Man Combat Simulator 3 instead.

Developers today are literally just following Google Trends and responding to it.
 
She is the very reason feminism is seen by the majority as idiotic, until SJWs shun and ridicule her moronic opinions feminism with quite rightly get zero respect.

She recently complained that you can play as both a male and female in Dishonored 2, if that isn't a case of putting women OVER men, then what is?

So your point is.....that women are at best marginally under-represented in games?

Why do you object to there being equal representation in games?
Click to expand...

No, my point is that women are perfectly represented in the genres they participate in. And this fad movement is doing nothing but cause trouble.

Women are under represented in development, but we have no figures for why.
 
Admins! This thread isn't about PC games. Can we get it moved to another forum?

(or, preferably, loaded on to a rocket and fired into the sun)

It's a valid discussion relating to video games. If you don't like it then leave but don't suppress others.
