Gamer girls revived?

[DastardlyStar]

Is it a social shift, or a marketing shift (i.e. games are designed to appeal to women much more now)?

I think the multiplayer social aspects of games now have broadened the appeal of games, not only to women, but to a wider range of personalities and backgrounds.

But I did see quite a few girls in line to buy WoW back on Nov. 23rd...

It might just be a marketing shift... Comics used to be just for boys as a majority, then Japan ships over Manga and low and behold it's the girls filling the comic books stores now. (And also complaining about the awful smell of B.O. that lingers from a few of the nerds that were there prior to... lol)
