Don't Make Games For Girls

Breaking news, apparently:

I don’t think there’s ever been a successful game really pinpointed just for girls. I think it’s a lost cause, quite frankly.

Although now that I think on it, I’m sure I’ve heard that argument somewhere before:

I do not think people buy games based on their gender … It is time to abandon the notion of simply making ‘games for women.’

Ah yes. A mere 8 years ago. Thanks for keeping up, industry.

What Say You?

hello

This is the website of one David Thomson (aka dwlt) from Edinburgh, Scotland. It contains the results of my patented thinking-out-loud process.

According to the about page, I'm a miscellaneist — at any given moment I'm a game designer, entrepreneur, programmer, consultant, and/or writer. I also read a lot.

If my ideas are intriguing to you, why not subscribe?
