Glad to see the gate keeping came with us.

I’ve played wow (MMOs tend to be popular with women, my guild has several women), overwatch, and am playing diablo now. Call of duty just looks kinda boring to me. I also play alot of single player games.

I almost exclusively play single player games or multiplayer games with friends I know in real life. I’ve had some bad experiences with online gaming and they are often way too stressful for my liking.

My wife loves her Nintendo switch and so does my daughter. I also played Diablo 4 with my wife which is amazing. I’m all for more women playing games. I don’t have to hide by myself in a room playing video games anymore. It’s just a normal part of my family. There are many benefits to women playing games beyond what I just mentioned obviously.

The irony of the company that picked boys over girls having the majority of their users being girls

The comments: No way, women don’t play games. I never see them.

Yeah no, they might not be on your games. But having seen the sheer lust for Link, I’m not surprised switch is popular.

And the crazy thing is, the industry really doesn’t do a good job at this. The numbers could really be higher, especially mobile, but the sheer number of male fantasy waifu games out there is ludicrous. (Although, unsurprisingly, the dollars earned from whales are overwhelming male, especially internationally where the wage gap is higher, so that’s what drives that).

Ugh same. The number of gross comments I’ve gotten on vc over the years is enough to fill a book.

I’m mainly on PC now though, playing single player games or games with my fiancée and/or friends
