Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

Kinda seems like this poster is trolling. Their top 3 suggestions would bankrupt any pinball company and rightfully so.

Yep. Themes are mostly geared toward middle-aged men for a reason. Nostalgia and cash - both of which grown-up children usually have in spades.

I think the manufacturers are filling the gender gap with games where female characters can be picked at the start (as mentioned above with POTC). I know that women almost always go with Leia when they start a game of Star Wars in my house, so there's something to that theory.

But I also think of TNA as a "female" game because of the main character and because the game's color scheme is predominantly purple/pink and even has female callouts. That game is definitely NOT a "male" game (with the exception of blowing shit up!).

Thank God for this thread. The moderators were getting bored around here.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Despite the fragile male whiners, WOZ sold well and launched a company. Ultimately it was a nostalgic family friendly theme, and the Pinside whiners were a minority & non-factor when it came to game sales.

Yep! Thanks to Pinside, I learned a lot about myself after I bought a WOZ. The real manly men on Pinside taught me that I'm either: a) homosexual; b) really a woman; or c) not much of a man.

I had NO idea...
