Female MMORPG Developers On Influences

Thanks to Warcry for their discussion with a number of female MMOG developers, asking whether "the reason so many MMOGs follow the same paths... is that they were designed, built, and maintained by men." Of the respondents, Judith at Turbine Entertainment points out that "an audience that skews towards immature males will very likely have exaggeratedly female avatars for them to play with", and Srand at Turbine doesn't see any particular male-patterned design trap, suggesting: "the reason so many MMOGs follow the same paths... is that they were designed, built, and maintained by people. And people, as the mantra goes, are stupid."

An old saying...

And people, as the mantra goes, are stupid.

Somebody once said something to the effect of "The fool sees ignorance everywhere. The wise sees ignorance within himself". This basically means that the truly wise concentrate on their own ignorance, instead of spewing off on others'.

If you want proof that people as a whole are stupid, go and take a job where you work with the public. I work at Wally World (Wal-Mart) and I get questions like, do you work here, is this Wal-Mart, (over the phone) do you have a phone that looks just like the one I got here, why are you sold out, do you carry movies, (holding a DVD) is this a CD movie, why don't you carry that, when you are finished watching a DVD how do you rewind it, and the list goes on and on. People are stupid, there is proof P.S. These are all actuall quotes, I can't make stuff this stupid up!
