I have a lot of friends who say they don’t play FPS as much because when chat finds out they are a girl there are mostly 2 types of people who react, simps, and incels.
Also, people say that girls who don't play video games are feminine? Like, no Phil, I don't play video games because I don't like playing them, not because because of my goddamn pronouns.
Stilll confuses on how a character named samus was assumed to be a man!!! I heard the name and thought “that’s clearly a woman” I was shocked to find out there was a massive outcry when people found out
So the point made about the untapped market might not be so true for XBox and PS. I know my Mum plays alot of mobile games on her phone and tablet, but I know that even if they marketed a console towards her that she would never spend +$500 on one.
"refusing to serve an untapped market" yeah, because that is what a profit-driven growth-obsessed company does. Refuse to serve half of its market just to be sexist.
App games played on your phone do NOT a gamer, make. Weed out those simpleton games from your data, and then run your numbers to see how many people play really games in your respective categories.
Idk. Im a girl and I've been playing games all my life. I dont really like games like Candy Crush, I like RPGs, shooters and I love Nintendo games. I collect retro stuff too. I have a lot of female friends who are also into games this video is saying is marketed solely to men. I have a female friend who streams Oblivion regularly and has played stuff like Fallout 76 with me. I agree that marketing has been gendered for much too long over the years, but I think we've made significant progress. I have a friend group of many different genders and for the most part we all like and play the same stuff.

PS & X-Box can be used by girls and boys both. But at least now, they are both allowed to.
black eyed peas
You do know that Mrs. Pacman was no made by Namco right?
this comments section is EONS more positive than the one on truTV
I dont think moms who play candy crush on their phones in their spare time really count.
"It's not the size of your howitzer, it's what you do with it"
-This is what I think about my little PP
It´s true. Most of my friends that play games are girls and it´s ok.
I'm a girl that plays video games on consoles and PC. :p
sike i’m not a guy
Who's preventing girls from playing video games?
when i think of video games, i think of me playing a game. that is all i think about.
3:57 mans just found he has to share the ps5
No, that dot is transgender.
"I'm mad at you… a boy several years younger than me, because of a decision made 40 years ago!"
Mobile games does not make you a gamer though

Ah yes the three genders
Games, movies and dads
Why? Why you say? Here's the answer: Simps is the answer Adam
My mom beat zelda before I did, she was a beast on video games. And every game I play women are always better
My mom liked like one console game, but she plays a lot of mobile games
Dude most gamers don't care bout gender.
2:36 doesn't that guy look exactly like jesse pinkman from bteaking bad?
It’s male dominated. . . Why well I dunno

Kids right tho, candy crush is barely a game
3:49
Well, books ARE just for dads though, right?
person who misses the point: "dads is not a gender"

The simple answer is no it's for all genders
Phone games are as much games as an bear is a water animal because it can swim.
I have never heard someone say games are only for boys until I watched this
why does megan hate jake
Adult women playing more than teen boys is just straight up cap

This boy is so mean to his sister…and he gets mad that he is told off and doesn’t get what he wants, he a bad boy 😠🤬⚔️
None sense girls like games fine
Games are for everyone
App games played on your phone do NOT a gamer, make. Weed out those simpleton games from your data, and then run your numbers to see how many people play really games in your respective categories.
Sony, Nintendo, and Xbox after seeing this video: It's free money!
