"Very few games transcend their medium and their genre to truly become a part of popular culture; to belong in the time capsule as something that we can all share. And we believe Destiny could become one of those games,"

i think they've secretly got peter molyneux writing their lines.

@GamerLegend10

nice how you just use a weasel word to justify you're statement...

@aroxx_ab

with home consoles, they mean current gen consoles...

@Yomigaeru @blackrunie

Samus Aran is a great example, she was the perfect strong female lead, because she just was, no one had to point to her and tell us how strong she was, because her actions spoke for herself.

then came other M...

i didn't say every gamer was male.

i said, business-wise, it's smart to appeal to the biggest audience.

it's sad, but since there isn't 1 gender in the world, every character that will ever be created, will always lean to 1 side.

not all games are for identifying with the character and some people don't even care anyway. it's harsh, but it's impossible to please both.

i'm not a real movie fan, so i can't comment.

@Smokescreened84 @made_u_look @blackrunie

i don't believe the industry is sexist, like you say.

i believe that they act purely business-like. you can argue and argue, at the end of the day, a majority of gamers and game developers is male. in order to better identify yourself with a character, gender and gender-specific behaviour goes a long way. it sells better that way.

@made_u_look @Smokescreened84 @blackrunie

plenty, but percentually a big minority..

@Smokescreened84 @blackrunie @made_u_look

i know it's special, as in, it doesn't happen much in games,

but i meant they treat it as something special, something that is abnormal, different, which in the strict definition it is, but really there's nothing weird about a strong female lead in games.

@made_u_look @blackrunie

true, you said it very well, it starts being slightly sexist when it's that articulated that it's a female, like it's something special that a woman can also be the heroine of a story.
