So true! 

I'm actually with you.  I hope the damn thing fails.  Or at the very least, MS should stop being hard headed and change the thing. 

I know, as a kid, I dreamt of playing games with women.  I didn't really meet any gaming women until after I got married.  Women gamers are out there, but they seem to be quiet about it.  

My wife said something similar to me this morning.  She told me, "The women I know that play games on their phones and tablets aren't "gamers".  They are not going to go out and buy a console for gaming".  If it wasn't for me, my wife admits she wouldn't play console games either.  She got into it from watching me.  She's currently playing Mass Effect 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

There got to be a way.  There are people that create games by themselves in their spare time and put up sites to ask for donations and show their progress.  There are even developers that create games for the older consoles (GEN & DC) and their games are mentioned in gaming mags like Retro Gamer.  One of the games that was developed for the Genesis did so well, it's being HDed and put up on PSN and XBL.  It's a long short, but if it's so important, it's worth taking the chance.  

I hope to get a PS4 sooner than later.  I might be able to actually preorder one.  As for the XBO, piss on that shit. 

I totally agree with that.  I just hink this feminist movement against gaming is overstepping a few boundaries and are causing more problems than actively bringing solutions.  You look at any small gaming developer.  They didn't like where they were, so they broke off from a major company, created their own team and created the games they wanted to play.  I don't see why the feminist can't do the same.  I guess they just want to change things and not do the work.  

It's funny that you mention BET, because that is what this kind of reminds me off.  BET was suppose to be a network for black people to watch oppose to television that was believed to have no representation of black people or their representation of black were negative stereotypes.  You watch BET today and it's full of negative racial stereotypes of black people.  This feminist movement on gaming is sort of like that.  They use gender steroetypes of women & men to support what argument of what women & men want they want to play or should be playing.  The same games they say women don't play are many of the same games I don't play and I still know plenty of women that play "guy" games.  Does that mean I'm a woman or are they men?  It's all bullshit.  When you start defining what women aren't going to play because their women, or what they will play because they're women, then you've made a sexist comment.  It's funny feminism fought to be equal to men and do & have the same as men and now this new feminism against gaming is change the activity so that more women might join.  

Forcing the industry to change is retarded.  The best way to get things going in the right direction is for the feminist and their supporters is to develop their own games.  That's what developers do.  Form their own team and develop games.  No one is stopping them.  

No one's saying don't try.  I don't like the idea that this supposed "movement" implies there should be a complete overhaul.  Things were already changing.  If the femininst don't think it's fast enough, then maybe they should make their own fucking games.  Will any of them do that?  NO.  They just complain and shit on the games I love.  

Dude, do you even read the comments against gaming.  Many of the arguments are bullshit.  Over half of it is taking stuff out of context.  Why apply a "popular" current ideal to games that were made 10, 20, and almost 30 years ago?  They act as if there has been no progress.  Check out that Anita chick's videos.  Many of the games that are called out aren't even western games!  Not only does she insult the people that worked hard and enjoy those games, but she imposes an ideal on another culture [Japanese].  What, now people in other countries can't make whatever game they want?  Stop drinking the cool-aid and THINK.
