i'm not asking people to change their career paths, i'm only saying that's the only way things are going to start changing for the long term. bitching about a lack of female leads isn't going to sway very many minds. the easiest way is to be, or get in touch with, someone working in the industry, so your complaints aren't just coming from some random off the streets. it just takes a little more than making a fandom secret about female leads to generate more of them in the industry.

if i recall correctly the idea for a female lead in ac3 had been mulled over but the creative director, aka the brains behind the entire project, said that the setting didn't suit a female lead, and he's right. so instead of half-assing it, they've included a playable female character in ac3 liberation. that's one example of the industry doing things right, and i can imagine this was aided by the fact that the ac team has a lot of female designers.

the thing you don't seem to understand about the gaming industry is that it's innovative, but at the same time it's totally not. the industry is infested with designers looking to make "fast" money, and by that i mean making easy cash off an idea that has sold well in the past, because consumers will buy it every darn time. so for a lot of these designers, there's little incentive to change their target audience when the one they have is throwing money at them already. once again, that's why change needs to happen from the inside. i'm just saying it's not easy to generate changes in an industry like this when you're only a consumer.
