    Vancouncer Sun has posted a long article centred around the new Vancouver's Radical Entertainment COO's vision. It appears that the future of gaming is women. Here's an excerpt:

    Kelly Zmak, the new chief operating officer and senior vice-president of Vancouver's Radical Entertainment, doesn't need a crystal ball to see into the video game industry's future and where he wants his company to go.

    He wants it to go for the largely untapped female game-playing market. He wants it to create entertainment for a consumer base whose average age is 28 and expected to get older. He wants it to exploit the hand-held and mobile markets. And he wants it to expand into other media.

    Articles about women in gaming will never cease to astonish me.

    Read the whole thing at Vancouver Sun.

    How the heck does this guy think he knows what I and my fellow females want to play? :rolleyes:

    Stop trying to make games for a female audience. Instead stop specifically advertising games for males only. I don't care if your protagonist has massive breasts and wears hardly any clothes. If the game is good, I'll play it.

    Seriously.

    I'm with Sevarus.

    If romances are included tho I would like some decent choices. I just ignore the romances if I don't like them. They are not important to me.
