Funny how people saying “Game company X (e.g. ArenaNet) should not care about a tiny fraction of their potential client base, because it would not make economic sense”, are always part of the non-tiny majority. It reminds me of the famous statement sometimes attributed to Bertold Brecht https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_…
Imagine that instead of a Windows-only, non-Linux game we were talking about a game that was:
- Right-handers only / left-handed people can not play
- Men-only / women can not play
- Christian, Muslim and Jewish-only / other religions and atheists can not play
- Black and white only / other races can not play
Certainly left-handers, women or people of neither black nor white race ARE a minority playing GW2.
The examples above are ridiculous, because the very same game can be played by a right-handed white christian male or a left-handed asian atheist woman… but imagine that was not the case! Imagine that making a man-only game available to women cost some effort… would it be moral, or even legal, to say “forget about women, they are only a small minority (among GW2 players), so why bother?”?
