A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Eh, just because lots of women are playing games doesn't mean they're catered to women.
Don't get me wrong, the industry's come a long way from every female character having 28DD's and videogame trailers being all about stoic badasses and explosions. I think the rise of indie games has been great for that. But there's an undeniable male-coded streak that still exists in marketing and in the industry, especially at the AAA level, and there's progress we can still make there.
