i can't think of a recent, decent game that screamed more "this is for girls" than this one. yes, there is stardew, which isn't particularly gendered, even if it tends to attract more women than other games, and the less good, uh, homages to it, like the disney princess one (not sure i would call that decent, tbh). and there has always been the sims. facebook and mobile games have always had a large, often predominantly female audience, but most of those are very cheap. and world of warcraft cuts pretty well across gender lines.

but this one is so overtly about traditionally women's hobbies and it's also really good. that makes it rare to me.

and you know who doesn't have to wade? people who like call of duty, madden/2k/whatever, etc. while a lot of men don't like those games either, it's hard to argue that their fan base isn't primarily men and that they are marketed exclusively towards men. there is a lot of that stuff. the rest of us have to wade. women have to wade harder.

proportion is what's important, and women are vastly under-represented.
