Why didn’t they just make a separate womens soccer game? Yes I already know the answer but I would imagine sports games in general are heavily male dominated. I’ve played a lot of madden and mlb the show and have rarely seen women showing much interest in sports games.
Only 2% play sports games: https://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/
Females would rather play competitive FPS and racing games than sports ball. That lets you know just how much money companies like EA are throwing away to push a message instead of focusing on the (globally) built-in audience for football.
I like that study, I did find a bit strange how many girls were in MMO, even that 23% of WOW players were girls. That has a lot of question marks. I've played that game for many years and girls were rare in any guild I was in, no were near a quarter of players.
Im a fairly hardcore mmo player (2000 hours in ff14) and you are exactly right.
Its easy to find female lead guilds, usually one or two women with their friends and a fuckton of betas and orbiters. Maybe 3 dudes in the entire place that can actually play the game at or above "competent" level and they are just there by dumb luck, or because they simply fell in and never left.
These guilds constantly splinter, as the head female can never stand when someone else is getting the attention even for a moment, so they become two guilds and start over farming more betas and orbiters in a never ending pyramid scheme of simping.
In my 8 years playing the game, ive met lots of girls. I have never met a girl simply sitting at home playing the game wishing someone would play with her or spending time solo questing. Even if they start that way it doesnt last even a few weeks before they realize the power of the vagina and fall right into it.
That said. Half, or more, of MMo players presenting themselves as girls (not just playing female characters, but presenting themselves as female on the other side of the controller) are dudes.
