Last article for today, just to point out that Humble has launched a 'Female Protagonist Sale' and there's some really good Linux games in there.

Here's some top picks:

There's a couple more as well, those are just my top picks currently. Some absolutely great deals there, for those of you looking for something new for a rainy day.

Check out the sale here.

Quoting: GuestSpeaking of weird i never noticed anything female in SteamWorld Heist. But heh, it is just marketing.

???

Captain Piper, the captain of the ship, the only squad member you cannot not play is female.

Maybe i need to play the game more. I just saw robots.

Ahh, you were being a smartass.

I saw a stream of Tacoma a while back that had a couple of the people that worked on it as guests (forget who exactly), and if there's ever a game that would benefit by a commentary track, that's it. The "ON3 V3IN" running gag on its own would make it worth it. If you do get it, take the extra time to really poke around and check all the little details.

It's been on my wishlist for quite sometime now, just waiting for a time when I can actually enjoy it :) And perhaps give the developers full price for the game too. Thanks for the tip, will do as you say!

And then again how can anyone be sure whether the game's protagonist actually identifies as "female" by the game makers even though "looking like a female" ... :D

We live in a time of great change and such times always include some insanity which will pass in time. Some real life people change their gender identification in their heads each week you know.

The weird thing is that exactly those people who constantly remind others that gender doesn't matter are those who put great effort into creating new categories, pronouns and names for the thing that isn't supposed to matter in the first place. In a rather ironic turn of events, those who fight categories are masters of putting themselves into ever more categories. Those who demand to be treated equally demand to be treated differently by inventing new pronouns and words and requesting the usage of those from others. They separate themselves from so called "normal cis het people" and demand to be dealt with as if they were the same.

Insanity indeed.

This is why we need a Skyrim port for Linux.

All those axes to grind, and no way to boost your blacksmithing skill.

I guess if male protagonists will ever be grossly underrepresented and marginalized in gaming in the same way female characters are today, it might actually be a thing!

If...it -really- will ever come down to that, I will sympathize. Promise!

There's always gotta be that one guy...
Thanks for beating me to it .

I won't even bother answering the casual terfism in the thread ...
Weird how you will all conviently forget about those two pages barely one more news above (so barely an hour of wait time judging by Liam's output speed) and say that GOL is all roses and rainbows and sunhine ...

I'm not sure how you mean that? Is that an insider for Skyrim players?

They way to treating everybody the same is not denying their differences.

Absolutely! Everybody should have the same rights and should be treated equally, no matter who they are.

This Gender-Rage is tiring. No one cared about Metroid being female. It's bloody fantasy game.
That being said, if a developer needs to virtue signal by genderswapping and putting the 'female protagonist' sticker on their game, I'm out.

And this 'underrepresented'-BS... They're fictional characters FFS.
Maybe this is the fourth wave of feminism 'Equal rights for female game characters'.
