And you're forgetting that women and gender fluid people are paying customers. Turns out there's more of them than incels.
For games? I doubt it.
In the United States, women account for 48% of gamers. So unless you're assuming nearly all men who game are incels it's safe to say they're out numbered.
Video game companies aren't putting women in games out of the goodness of their hearts, it simply makes for good business.
where is this number coming from?
The Entertainment Software Association.
link?
Pretty easy to Google for bud.

ouch this is a horrible study.
It puts women playing candy cruch on their phobe into the same bucket as young men playing video games on the pc. In reality there are very different groups of consumers.
This is trash ordered for political reasons. Not science.
You're shifting the goal posts dude, now we're just talking PC games? Turns out you're still wrong anyways.

No matter how hard you try, the data isn't going to support excluding people.
