No one asked for my opinion, but I'm going to give it anyway.
How difficult would it be to program a game (or anything) that was completely unguided? I mean, think of the possibilities people would have with something like that. But without some sort of guideline, it would be difficult to get started.
I'm curious as to your opinion, which would you remember more? A good book that you read or a story that you wrote or developed with a bunch of good friends? Or even people you didn't know?
To be fair, there have been some very good books/games out there with extremely good plots/stories. Unfotrunately, people can always find something to pick apart in them. The authors/programmers can't think of everything, after all.
Maybe the point here was to get a good mix of both. I'd say it was pulled off with a "decent amount of success," wouldn't you?
I think it's funny. Everyone has a different opinion. You know why? Because we were all brought up differently. Everyone has a right to voice their opinions, and everyone sees the world differently.
If people don't give their guesses as to why something happens, regardless of what other people may think of their views, how many truths will we overlook? Sound corny? Too bad, that's the way I think. If you can give me a reason not to, I'll change.
My personal feeling is as follows: I don't care about your gender. If you can contribute something, that's great. Everything goes into making the whole. These things aren't based on gender, but the personalities of the people creating them do of course go into them.
I know plenty of females and males that can code better than myself, and I look up to them. (In fact, I'm not even that good at it. I'm learning, be patient). The world is changing, old habits die and new ones, good or bad, are formed all the time. We're becoming more accepting as a society, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
I'm curious if any real percentage of males really think that females are unable to contribute meaningfully. And I mean seriously. Does anyone really think that any more?
And for the females do you truly think that a majority of the males care that you are female when looking at something you worked on?
Obviously I'm not psychic, I don't know what people are thinking. But I believe that people in general are good and honest, and that they are willing to learn from the mistakes of those who came before them. Give these people a chance, please.
Alright, you can probably tell what my gender is. Does it really matter? I'm tired. I'm going to bed now. Good night.

I'm not sure what my point was.
