Why are there no females who bought this game?

This game would sell a lot more copies if you had a choice to play as female monkey.

But looking at the players demographics and community it seems that there are no women or girls playing this game and all because there is no character editor for your champion.

How can a game ever be successful without different genders for all players?

Currently there is only 300k players one week after release.

You shouldn't play this game if you aren't a literal monkey.

Monke strong.

The correct sentence is 'Why are there no women playing this game?' and I was unaware of a survey proving such....

This thread must be farming. Otherwise, they would realize that this game is based on chinese folklore. This is like asking why Goku is not a girl in dragonball... =/

How do you know the difference between a male monkey and a female monkey?

[redhongkong]

monkey king knows how to transform into female if u ever need it XD

[Coosmooss]

How dare you assuming the gander of Wukong is not female!
HOW DARE YOU!!!

The idea that women will only play a game that lets you play as a women is rather sexist. It makes the assumption that people can only play or enjoy something if they can see themselves in it and that is just not true.

Also, this game is the most successful game this year and lots of women are playing it despite not having the option to play as a female monkey in a game about Sun Wukong, a male monkey from Chinese Mythology, means that the idea that the game will sell better if it just had better representation is an inherently flawed idea from the onset.

What gamers, male and female both, want is a fun video game that lets them escape reality for a few hours. The type of fun will change gamer to gamer. Some will enjoy creating complicated characters in a crpg like Pathfinder, others want to sit back and just chill while farming in Harvest Moon, others will want a laid back time with the family and play co-op games, other people get really invested in another world and explore MMOs.

Gaming has something for everyone but not every game needs to be for everyone but rather for anyone who wants to give that type of game a try.

2.3 mil people played this game. Need no female monkey...are u crazy?

[Aelita]

It's not that there aren't any. We just don't openly put ourselves out there because... well... then we gotta deal with creeps online fishing for attention from women...
