To be honest, I can hardly be excited to watch two guys who I haven't heard or seen anything of the last two years failing miserably at their own game.

Brutal, but justified.

They were same under THQ, I doubt the publisher in Relic's case makes any difference except for being an excuse the kick the can down the road.

No I am not trolling this was a legit answer. I can tell you Relic is more updated on what is going on in the community than you think. Them not responding is an issue tough I don't deny that.

Still most of the community members failed to EVER give any useful advice or criticism and therfore can't tell the difference

Lol, the free DLC is worth your soul? Plenty of modders managed to use Relic's own mod tools to fix some really nasty bugs. How many fixes did Relic implement? 0

Even when other people do the hard work Relic still aren't interested. What's the point, they clearly aren't interested in their players as long as we shut up and keep stumping up cash for their games.

It might be a dick move but I commend kluge for exposing Relic's ambivalence towards the player base.

lol, a daily mail link. It's so bad and untrustworthy I wouldn't wipe my arse on it. You may as well link something from /b


Addressing the topic however I think the reasons are so complex and nuanced you could write a novel on the subject but I'll have a go at it.

I agree accessibility in RTS games is an issue but I believe that it is also an issue for the gaming player base as a whole and not exclusively an issue for women.

I believe culturally there are issues. I feel that playing video games competitively is somewhat frowned upon, it's slowly becoming more accepted and there's more coverage of it in the mainstream media which is great. That straight away is an issue, if the culture as a whole is frowned upon how is a sub culture going to gain any respect from society?

I think women in gaming generally have a tough time. They are subject to a higher level of scrutiny just because of their looks. They are also treated with a high level of suspicion "lol, do you ACTUALLY play video games." It's not a great atmosphere and a lot of women don't want stick around and I don't blame them to be honest.

I don't believe genetics play a part, the problem is that as children you are brought up to behave in a certain way and like certain things. Shockingly it's still frowned upon and considered un-lady like for a woman to like playing video games, let alone competitively. Even in sports being competitive as a woman is somewhat frowned upon culturally, I remember the furor when women started becoming professional boxers for example.

I believe in time things will get better as children don't get pigeon holed to confirm to certain ideals and images as they grow up.
