executives don't give a fuck about anything except money. with a male hero you're still getting the handful of girl gamers' money, but with a woman hero you're losing the wish-i-was-a-tough-guy boy gamers who are so insecure they literally can't play a game as a woman character because their simple minds interpret that as "play woman character = i am literally a woman now = weak."
yea, it's fucking stupid, but that's what's happening. it's the same ridiculous nonsense with non-white, non-straight characters
And with a male protagonist you lose all the "I don't want to stare at a guy's ass for an entire game" demographic.
First person: male
Third person: female
System: hacked
Edit: Do it in one game and you also get trans inclusivity tag! ^^
Man dudes don't know what they're missing do they. I love femshep in 3rd person, but oh dang Geralt
