(Attention, this article is partial very ironic and yet very concerned)
We need computer games for one group that is the rising star in our post-material world :
Aggressive and dominant women !
Previously computer games were often the valve for young and adolescent and of course up to all ages and state of minds of integrated men, who did not engage in social status wars but needed to act out their inner rage and power need.
That was a HUGE market.
But it seems we have a market that is not yet fully taken : Violent computer games for aggressive and dominant women, where the boys (and girls ?) are sex objects !
I really like the stuff that Anita Sarkeesian and other are doing, and it seems we need computer games made for them as well as for the old market of computer gamers.
Well, that is changing as well, and as the money now lies with individualised people the interests are much more complex to satisfy than in the good old mass-market days, aren't they ?
A thing that is going on my nerves is that I am so tired of the stereotyped way criminal and dangerous situation are shown in computer games. I was in danger. It is NOT like in GTA. It can be similar. But it is something completely different.
