Anyone who thinks that should be launched with more games with women like Lara Croft will agree with the results of the Dimitri Williams and a team of University of South Carolina According to them, most games sold have sold more white men than women and other minorities.

The study was based on data from nine different platforms, and examined 150 of the best selling games in the period 2005 to 2006, but did not include most current platforms like Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii. Williams said his study was done to complement the other existing, which is supported on all games made, and not only in the most successful.

He and his team found that only 15% of titles have women as protagonists, and the Latin characters are only with 2%.

Blacks are in a better situation, appearing in quite games, but there is a “but”: their profiles, as observed, are full of stereotypes, such as black people aregangsters in games like “Grand Theft Auto” and “50 Cent Bulletproof”.

According to the LiveScience website, ignore consumers may thus be a mistake. This is because the public who buy the games no longer consists solely of white men adults.
