Games would suck without women in them, helping make them, testing them, playing them, talking about them, etc. Nobody likes a sausage fest.

@Vampiress7574 plenty of female villains out there. Lilith in Diablo 2, Circe from DC Universe (meh), and let's not forget Kerrigan from starcraft, queen of the zerg. But they all pale in comparison to old school Mother Brain from good ole metroid and super metroid.
