There is misogyny in some mainstream games (from memory, I found GTAV to occasionally veer in that direction) but the examples she gives are so wrong they're either exaggerated, ignorant or purposefully misleading.

Dragon Age? Hitman? Really? Neither of these games can be in any way characterised as misogynistic. Dragon Age has strong main female characters, it displays the mistreatment of women but also racism and genocide. Hitman actively punishes you for killing civilians and gender really has little bearing on the game at all.

Slightly more women play mobile games than men today. Even before that we had the success of the Wii's general appeal and the huge sales of The Sims series before that. AAA titles still veer towards violent themes but that is not misogyny. If her views gain traction it's more on the basis of the preconceived and uninformed views of the general adult public rather than reality.

The problem of getting higher quality graphics is what held game design back. In order to scale up the visuals, console games had to scale down other items such as world size, view distance, field of view, number of npcs, artificial loading areas, and so on. Saying that "this" is achievable with a low end PC while console games are holding "this" back is ignoring that these demos are doing the very thing console games have been doing. Cutting back the depth of the image for the glossiness of it.

Here's Hitman Blood Money and its crowd dynamics

Notice how simplistic the crowd behaves. Rather than simulating individuals, the crowd is simulated in lumps. Also notice that the textures are a lot "flatter" and blander than a few other levels.

This is the simplest example of cutting back depth in order to gloss over the something else. In this case, gloss the crowd, shallow their brains.

Wow, what a horrible person she is. Good for Carlos to go to the police.

I suspect the $100 "down payment" was just to cover all technicalities for the court case... obviously people should know the consequences of not paying a hitman.

Interview with work colleague who turned her in to the police.

Hi lucky, I noticed something interesting that I wanted to mention to you....this video http://videosift.com/video/Chopper-Reid-Australian-Hitman-Anti-Domestic-Violence-Ad is still in my unsifted folder after 2 days and almost 10 hours. I did promote it so I expected it might stay in there for an extra 3 hours, but it's there after all this time. Is that supposed to happen?

Worst hitman ever! You don't telegraph what you're going to do to an armed copper!
