Wanted: Female Game Testers

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday October 10, 2002 @04:35PM from the men-who-play-as-women-need-not-apply dept.

BaronVonDuvet writes "The BBC is covering this story regarding the lack of female testers for the new Tomb Raider game. Given that there are a number of female gamers (admittedly far fewer than male gamers) why are they having so many problems finding women? Is this a sign that the female gaming market has never really taken off? Is the way men and women approach a game really that different? Are they really interested in finding women testers or is the whole thing a publicity stunt? If you're an interested woman maybe you should get in touch."

The obsession with large breasts is an American thing. Men in most countries don't care for size, any more than females care for size in males.
