Indian PC Gamers Use Twitter to Protest EA Price Hike

[ojas]

Girls do play AAA games here IF U EXPOSE THOSE GAMES TO THEM. It's just an unfortunate Indian mindset that discourages girls from playing games.

u mentioned which type of games they DO NOT play. But u did not answer the more important question - Which games DO they play? The only game i can think of is Portal.....well that isnt much.

Now i will tell u the most ridiculous thing u might have ever heard. I have 5 friends(all men) that work in a small indie gaming industry. They don't have decent GPUs in their home PCs and none of them own any of the consoles. They don't play video games and they work in a gaming industry!!!!. And u tell me that girls play AAA video games in India. lol. U must be a member of high rich society to tell that.

No, perfectly middle class. They play Counter Strike, CoD, Tekken, NFS, and i know one who's about to play Far Cry 3. I have an older cousin who's in her 30's and has played lots of Age of Empires at work. It's all about exposure and awareness.

You seem to think that socially progressive equates with being rich, which isn't true.

P.S. I live in India, in college, so I meet a lot of different kinds of people.
