Excerpt: Games with male-only lead options sell 75 percent better than games with female-only leads. So yes, some of the fear that exists on the publishing side is founded. But you also need to consider the fact that this is a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, given that games with only female protagonists were merely given close to 40 percent of the marketing budget as the male only games. That's right, not even half. And they wonder why those sales are not as good? The game industry is stifling advancement by using outdated, "safe" formulas.
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Yay more feminist bullshit where they bleed all over the place over stupid shit that a lot of women don't give a fuck about other than their fisting feminist groups and men who have gag balls in their mouths.

You know, this has become beyond sad. I really say that we should ignore this blatant attempts at stirring up problems completely from now on.
If there are women out there who have nothing better to do than be offended by games, let them become game designers and actually lead the industry in change instead of crying about it and getting their manginas to stand up for them too. I'm sick of these poorly researched whine fests about how women aren't represented properly in the industry or games.
Representation requires doing something to represent yourself. Don't force others to shoulder that burden for you.
Realistically, most people are gamers in some form these days (you could call anyone who accepted a facebook candy crush saga invitation a "gamer"), so as was said above, this "55%" figure is meaningless.
This article seems to be attacking high-spec AAA games though, which are very different type of experience from those described above.
Most of the "hardcore" gamers are indeed white males (given that Europe and North America are still the largest gaming markets in the world (and lets not forget that the article exclusively refers to Western-made games)) and as most people like to play a character they empathise with (better looking of course, though same gender/country generally) most characters are logically white males.
