That's what I was thinking. It really depends on the game you're playing, something like Mass Effect where you are Shepard? Totally needs a gender option, which they have. But a game like BioShock 2 depends upon you being a Big Daddy. The counter to this would be not to change that game but to make more like it with female only protagonists. (Also equal advertising of the ability to modify your character in Mass Effect-like games would be nice.)

If only developers were willing to take the risk. That would be super. I personally think the problem isn't so much that female protagonist games will fail because guys can't relate to women but female protagonist games have a stereotype of being poorly written tripe. So people, developers and gamers, don't want to take that risk. But the stereotype isn't going to change unless there are more games out there with female protagonists that are well written and good games.
