Comments on: Market to Women, Already! http://www.edery.org/2006/02/market-to-women-already/ For those interested in the business of making good video games. Entrepreneurial spirit a must.

I lost one girlfriend to a MUD. I'd spend more time in Guild Wars than in "real life" with another one, and we actually lived together. And it's not like we met in game clubs or conventions, either.

Shades of <a href="http://shooter.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3147316" rel="nofollow">Cho Aniki</a>, much? Anyway, to address the point of the post, a surprising number of the most rabid AAA game players I know are women. They got hooked early, and have been playing RPGs and action games ever since. They even played 2D fighting games back in college. It's worth noting that having a social group that supports this kind of behavior helps quite a bit, though.

The King really packs a lot of sandwiches in his basket, if you know what I mean. “Now imagine the male characters — equally attractive, but with one notable “feature” — a huge bulge in their pants.”
