I guess I'll have to be another. I get the frustration with most games being made by men for men. Tomb Raider written by the same Rhianna Pratchett is something I greatly enjoyed. Hell I enjoyed more than any of the GTAs. And I'd love for GTA to have had a female protagonist.

However, "I'd love", not a, "You're doing it wrong."

I get it that it could at times probably feel, to a woman in a few specific games, like it would feel to me to walk into girls night out party with male strippers shaking their balls at me. I don't want to be there. But I don't have a problem with that specific party existing so I don't agree with picking on specific developers doing things they like for their audience, who likes it too.

A bunch of guys making stories about guys. That's what they are and that's fine. Not exiting for you, still exiting for many others. And if they aren't doing something malicious why question them with such fervour.

The collective outrage, to me, is not fine. I can't shake the feeling of underhanded condemnation and implications of malice between the lines. "No we aren't forcing any rules on you, of course not, but we are if you want to be presented as a decent guy not a coughmisogynistcough... we mean boring. Otherwise we will keep fixating on your gender choices. But we aren't forcing you, of course not."
