[casual_games] Why We Need Women

[Robert Headley]

I agree, to a certain extent. Liking or being good at gaming.. does not
particularly lend itself well to game design. It can tho.

Game designers that don't actually play theirs or anyone elses games, is
probably a singularly male trait.

Whats the figure....60% of all casual games purchased are purchased by
women, might actually be higher, we certainly need more female input on game
design. Sims is the highest selling game of all time, because it appealed to
women.
