I honestly wonder what the reaction would be if they said,
"We've done market studies and the majority of players who buy games in this genre are male. We are catering to them. Period."
No studio would ever officially say this, but I have trouble believing it's not the motivation behind many decisions. That being said, IF it's true (remember I used the word genre), is it acceptable?
i.e, do the customers drive the design? And if so, is that okay?
