Bioware says there's only 10% of women playing? Are they sure there aren't more of us? Catch 22! There is an allegedly pathetically low number of women interested in PC gaming-could it be (possibly because there are a pathetically low number of interesting non-tits-and-bums shoot-em-ups on the market) so they won't make games that are not boring tits-and-bums shoot-em-ups.
This we-need-to-make-a-squillion-dollars mentality needs to be trampled down and overthrown. Not all the games on the market are outrageously successful, but they're there. Look at games like Divine Divinity. Did it make gigabillions?(I have no idea.) But there's a sequel already.(So I assume it made some money.)
What is wrong with Bioware? BG1 and 2 were some of there most successful games, but they're dead, apparently, and the best they can do is NWN- not designed for the fans of said BG1 and 2.(The less said about that total betrayal of a loyal fan base by people who are beyond epithet, the better.)
There is only one solution. All male CPRG players will have to start pretending to be female. This is going to be a problem for people like Jester and possibly Greyfain, to name but a few, but a sacrifice is called for, for the greater good of gaming.
I'm sure that some of the 10% of women gamers (who may possibly be all represented on this site)will be happy to offer advice on how it is done.
