Moms are real gamers, too. Get over it! Posted about 1 year ago

There seems to be a recent outcry about the fact that gaming companies (such as Nintendo) have been reaching out to the so-called “Alpha Mom” when it comes to gaming. Especially with the Wii. Oh? And your point would be what?

I have to be honest when I say I am so over the “we are hard core gamers and they should focus on making games for us” attitude. Over. It. I have heard and read accounts of gamers who get seriously pissed off about the fact there are games created that are not “hardcore” but are being marketed to the maternal set. Cry me a river, boys. Your whining pisses me off!

Hear, hear! I'm sorry, boys (and the protesters are probably 90% male), but Nintendo is the SMARTEST company out there for recognizing new target markets and going for it. I LOVE my Nintendo products. I don't play the same games as my daughter and the hardcore gamers -- but so what? The marketplace is large enough for all of us. As you said, they need to get over it.

seriously? WFT is that all about? Aren't all hard core gamers just 13 year old boys anyway? Bunch of tossers!

"Hardcore gamers" are just people without a real life. May as well market to the real people too!
