I agree with you. She could have used the money to make her own game, or at least sponsor a game company to make a game she likes. Even a flash browser game. All she really needed was a cheap web cam really. I think her complaints are valid, from her point of view, games do need to change but I doubt that complaining will do much to change anything.
I think she's just analyzing trends. She hasn't full on attacked the audience for playing these games yet, Just criticisized some themes. She did say she liked peach in Mario 2. I can't wait until she finds out Peachs weapon in Mario RPG was a frying pan.
The video does seem overly critical of miyamoto. One thing I wish she had adressed in her video was the difference in culture between US and Japan. Though she does state that Donkey Kong was created for a US audience so introducing these tropes might be a reflection on our culture from a Japanese point of view. I'm not sure. I wish she would have addressed that. Also, her opinion isn't really a "feminist" opinion. Games have gotten to the point where they need to evolve, and having a playable Zelda or Peach in a game has been a complaint for as long as I can remember playing a zelda game or mario game. It's the first video in a series, so I will have to wait and see what the conclusion will be. She does bring up some good points. Punching women in the gut at the beginning of every Double Dragon game. That poor woman has been punched for 10 years.
lee you are on a roll here with these games man! You should just have your own column here already.
This game is awesome. Loved the sphere grid system.
SimCity, I believe there is some form of asynchronous multiplayer component embedded in the core gameplay, thus the need for always-online servers. There's something about sharing resources between cities that your friends build or managing assets from different cities or something. This has been a large complaint against the game and a main reason why many reviewers have lowered their overall score. I have to look into buying this game, as soon after all those login issues decrease.
I collect vinyl. Better sound than CD. It doesn't make you old. I was listening to zeppelin and floyd recently. 
Ys Seven is a really great game. I think it's the definitive Ys. Don't attack me Ys fans, but it's true. The way the characters roll across the screen and evade attacks makes the game move along faster.
the cyclops are easier to take down if you climb on their back/arm and hack away at their weapon arm to disarm them. I also liked using oil and fire bolt arrows to make them catch fire.
