Re: @Jon Arden Depressing reading this comment section

it surprises that the ratio is that balanced. Are you sure? Is your data personal/anecdotal, or from research by others?

In the US, women playing PC games outnumber men. Women play more RPGs than men, while men outnumber women in the FPS and MMO genres. Overall roughly 50/50.

But how relevant is this when as Jon Arden says, this is about devs, not players. While a dev plays games, a gamer doesn't necessarily have even the vaguest interest in development. They are not comparable.
