She is nuts and a narsassitic rear end in a top hat a lot and I'd never want her in any position of power, that being said. She comes off as one of the better people in the woke bullshit and genuinely seems to love her hobby and she makes good points like the post above.

i remember when getting mad about video games meant getting beaten at them, not about the social issues or the backlash to caring about social issues

The problem is the demo breakdowns don't back up the assertion http://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/ Overwhelmingly the game styles most played by women are pure mechanical games in puzzle quest style match games or time management sims.

You can see evidence that women who spend more dedicated time playing games enjoy more narrative experiences more, like how Star Wars The Old Republic has more female players than an average MMO, and it's also an MMO with dialogue options and a dedicated cutscene mode, by a company with a reputation for involved narratives. yeah but excluding facebook games and that kinda stuff just leads into the stinking abyss of "who's the real gamer  "

For the dems, the media and the like...it's much, much easier to adopt people like Wu than it would be to admit that perhaps we need to back more Bernie Sanders clones. It means they'll just try their best to retool neoliberalism and kinda go from there. This is what they feel their base is now.. I don't know...how..."large" of a base it is, but that's where they're going.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:yeah but excluding facebook games and that kinda stuff just leads into the stinking abyss of "who's the real gamer For the most part I'd say it's worth considering them to be different from what people normally consider videogames to be in the sense that people seem to have different expectations of them and habits, mobile games have generally been a very low barrier to entry way to kill short amounts of time rather than something people have played to get engrossed in(not to say there aren't any hardcore grandmas who play the poo poo out of farmville). The low barrier to entry aspect is I think an important one as well, because as consumers they're generally not buying the hardware so they can play games, and they're rarely buying the software in any sense either(2.2% of players spend money, 10% of those spenders(i.e. about .2% of the total) account for almost half total spending). When talking about demographics, mobile and browser games were never bundled in with "traditional" videogames by the games industry or media because they're rightfully completely separate groups, they only started being bundled together when someone thought they could make a (wrong)point about how girls are just as into videogames as boys are(Wii U e-shop numbers put them at like 7%, and Steam has about 4%(where gender is known)according to google's analytics). The "casual" or "mobile/facebook" label for games as well as not bundling them in with non-casual/mobile/facebook has always seemed like sufficient differentiation to me, I think the "real games" debate should mostly be about things like "walking simulators".
