I certainly remember duing university days in NYC, that the gaming group was mostly male - but it also was focused more on games identified strongly with the younger males such as dungeons and dragons.<BR/><BR/>I'm certainly glad i never ran across sites such as these - would have turned me off to gaming for good.<BR/><BR/>From up in the north without a local gaming group....<BR/><BR/>shoshanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-2509867281119301532007-09-20T16:33:00.000+02:002007-09-20T16:33:00.000+02:00Chris: why are most games made for the male market...Chris: why are most games made for the male market when most gamers are women?

Blows my mind.<BR/><BR/>Part of the reason for the sexism in videogames is self-selecting: most games are made for a male audience, so most of the people interested in coming into game development are (unsurprisingly) male. It's a vicious circle, and we have a long way to go to break it.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550565723765898399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9319479.post-74589716431617046812007-09-19T19:32:00.000+02:002007-09-19T19:32:00.000+02:00I have never run across sites like these!

I usually head straight for the big sites like Shockwave or Gamehouse if I want to play online. I also bookmark sites that have been recommended by other bloggers, like Orisinal or Kongregate.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.com
