I know that, when it comes to RPGs, girls sometimes don't bother saying that they're girls. I know that I'm often times mistaken as a guy online, and I just don't bother correcting them. It's just kinda too irritating to see "omg a girl" or whatever as a response.

As for female developers, that has to do with female socialization. Society subtly discourages girls from entering STEM fields. This is slowly changing, but still...

@Easily Yes, mobile games are separated from gaming. Mini-games: Candy Crush, Speed Run, Angry Birds may be games in general but they are games created by (guess what? MEN gamers, software developers like me, and GAME DEVELOPERS). They are actually meant for just tiny games.

Big games such as Plants VS. Zombies Garden Warfare, ROBLOX, DC Universe, are big games that boys play so they can shoot up quick-wittedness.

Sorry for the same post twice. But yes, females are less likely to play games than males, according to polls and studies.

But that number, if we exclude mobile-gaming, is still climbing up by the years.

@Easily

True, and I do know mania women, young and old, that only play "games" which are mini-games usually over Facebook. But game counting such as headset and game groups are 85% boys. If we were to mix both, it would be 59%

85% ? I would say more in the %75 or even %70 region
While, yes, a large amount of girls play these App Based games, there are still hundreds of thousands who play others [ TF2, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, COD, Skyrim, ETC. ]

2D games are mobile.
3D games are desktop-based games.

The games you mentioned are mainly 2D, except for a few.

While 2D may be also desktop-based, they are usually meant for time wasters.

@Progam
Do you know what 2D and 3D even mean? 2D is like a flat image, all games are 2D since you cannot literally be inside of the game.
Unless the game has 3D option / compatible with your screen or you have a Oculus Rift.
I'm not just talking about PC Gaming, I'm talking about Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Wii, DS, etc etc.
The Wii & DS I know has a VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE of female gamers, especially with Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Final Fantasy, Smash Bros, etc etc.
Xbox, and PS I know seem to be at crossroads with their percentage of Female & Male gamers since both consoles share lots of great content such as Far Cry, GTA , Etc. , especially the PS with the Kingdom Hearts series
On PC Based games, its just a whole jumbled mess due to steam having their huge library of games.
