For those of you who don't know, a target audience is a general group of people something is marketed towards.

That's interesting. Yeah, depends on the kind of game.

Of course we know what type of game TC was referring to for the most part, and I'd have to say, they're probably just targetted towards geeks and known fans of other similar genres. If then they happen to mostly be men then oh well, if they happened to mostly be women the devs wouldn't likely mind anyways.

Nonsensical question. Different video games have different target audiences. That's like saying all movies only have a single target audience. That's just silly.
