Genders in Gaming Target Audiences.

[Alardem]

Sex doesn't sell. But it's way easier to do what's already been done, and following the leader is what industries all do.

I think there is hope that we'll see more sanity in gender portrayals and making things more interesting for 50% of the world population. Quite a long way to go, and quite a low bar to hurtle over - the way the nigh-pornographically abused neo-Lara and the useful tool that is Elizabeth of Bioshock are being over-praised as amazing shows just how behind video-game writing is when it comes to women.
