PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•"Women love video games," Dressmaker dev says, there just aren't enough games for them: "We were definitely targeting women from the get-go"English
3·2 days agoI can only give examples i came across, but considering she’s my wife and we’ve been gaming for +20 years togeter, she loves games like CoD zombies or even recently gears of war. Famously “male targetted” but even MW2 (the og CoD mw2) had a lot of popularity with women.
Almost like target demographic has always been more of a suggestion.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite non-bloated video call app right now?
3·3 days agoHonestly? Discord. When using a patched app (search for Morphe on android) it’s quite bloat free once you strip all the nonsense.
For calls? I use normal calls because it just works and uses wifi anyway.

“Targetting women from the get go” by doing what? Women hate patronising. Just make games not be sexist. Options to customise the character and treat each sex as equal.
I know plenty of women that love games like Witcher or elder scrolls. MMOs got huge population of women. Hell, even fallout is very popular.
Why? Because they weren’t trying to “target women” they just weren’t shitty about them.
Make good game, people will come, people, not men or women. This is bad message to send.
(And yeah, game is cool)

Happy juice!
