The stories we tell shape how we see and think about the world. The more rich and detailed the video game setting, the more impossible it becomes to pretend that a game where men do everything important in the game world is an accident or a cost-cutting measure. It becomes clear that a world where women have anything important to do or say is simply not one that these people have considered.
