@mike300zxt At least that's just cosmetic. Unless they give you extra armor or something.

I don't mind paid DLC that's merely cosmetic (for example TF2 hats) but charging for easier headshots is essentially paying for a cheat code.

I didn't ask for this, but thanks anyway.

@WCK619 @hobotech64 ...and? I don't know what you're trying to argue, I'm just saying the gender shouldn't matter as long as the games are good.

Besides, there's a billion other games which have it the other way around where the guy kisses the girl.

@eva02langley Ooh, good one.

@WCK619 @hobotech64 I'm not really arguing that, and the article isn't either. Whether or not she's kissing, the publishers are trying to imply "Female characters don't sell."

@WCK619 @hobotech64 The argument is "female leads don't sell," which is false. They don't have to kiss or play with dolls or do whatever dumb sexist stereotype, the game just has to be good and marketable. Chell didn't need to be female, but I don't think her gender would make the game more or less successful.

I bet it was Activision.

For people that should know about making a profit, you'd think they knew about titles like Metroid, Tomb Raider, or Portal.

@mikesla11555 And then the car explodes when it has a bad signal, killing the "thief" and injuring everyone nearby.

@JayQproductions I've seen kids set up their own offline network easily, it's not hard. Heck, I've had Minecraft since the beta yet they know more about it than me!

The Superman franchise is the kryptonite of video games. Nobody would want to admit they're making a Superman game.
