Women are also not the major buyers of games. The commercial reality of games is that they are made to appeal to the customers. If the makers of these games went [i]fully factual[/i] on us the game would be dead ... picture space flight, set your course for the next planet and sit there waiting whilst the game draws in [i]realistic space travel timeframes[/i] ... dont think so. Let look at a female market ... take a chick flick with a male lead sporting a six pack abdomen, who listens and attends to her life wishes. Now lets slap some of your reality into that movie; - an average Joe, slightly flabby and VERY pale, - the guy basically guesses the girls wishes for this month, not a chance on the life wish, - and this Joe spends more time between work and his other male/female friends that he does with her Which version will women find entertaining ... and will your average gamer stay longr than the first 5 minutes?

"We make games we want to play." Either Bungie is a fan of misogyny, or that's a lie.

Except bungie is staffed by both men and woman, ok not a 50/50 split but still the "WE" (in "[i]we want to play[/i]") refers to both. As for [u]misogyny[/u] ... agree that most of their lead characters are male, but I dont recall ever seeing that lead acting in a hateful way towards women. Plus lets not forget Konoko, the female lead in Oni. Now she did show more than a little hate towards a few men, and collectively treated men as something to distrust (or bend to her sexual will). As for bungie telling lies ... let anyone tell the lie that they tell no lies. Remember "[i]there will be no DLC locked playlists[/i]", or "[i]we did not want ODST priced so high[/i]" ... life is not so black and white.

Ok, fine, sophomoric immaturity and childish perversions instead of misogyny. Same idea.
