“Girls Have Got Better Things to Do [Than Play Video Games]“! (WTF?)
I am proud to be a part of what I thought was an elite group: a girl gamer. Yes, I like to play Halo 3, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy and Assassin’s Creed. I’ve played against men of all ages online. And, guess what? I can hold my own. So when James Scalpello, director of THQ Wireless, says that, “When girls play console games, they have to have gone through a whole other list of things they could have done before sitting down with them… Guys get home, have dinner, and play a computer game. It’s much higher up the list of priorities. To put it bluntly, girls have got better things to do” (thanks to Kotaku for the quote!), I was, naturally, shocked.
