What boggles me and I just can't "get" is how would, say, GTA be a "worse" game if the player-character

could be played as female? And the element of abusing prostitutes removed? How is that a worse game?

How is wanting women as depicted in games to be more than props a threat to male gamers?

This I just do not get.

  - I think GTA would make a ton of $, if the next game in the series had a female lead. Women gamers would flock to it, men would still buy because GTA -- nm - Flavorize Mar 17, 21:14 1
