*yawn*
Charging for the character that is already available is wrong. Charging when it requires changing the program is how capitalism works.
Getting butthurt because you want to play every game in a character of YOUR choosing is selfish and unreasonable.
Back to my earlier question: should I be offended because Tomb Raider makes me play as a female?
Of course not. The main character in the story IS female.
COD: Advanced Warfare has a female character in the game, but she is a SUPPORTING character. The player is in the role of the MAIN character who is male. Expecting to change the main character just because your butt hurts is insipid.
I have played dozens of games that have put me in the roles of characters who are NOTHING LIKE ME.
So what?
It's called, "fantasy." You are imagining yourself as someone or something else. In other words, YOU are not the character (duh).
Silliness.
I downloaded Defiance (?) last week. The game lets you design your character, but within limited parameters. When I encountered my son in an online game, I chuckled that BOTH of us had female characters.
Again I ask, so what?
Fantasy. Fan-ta-sy.
Why did Donkey Kong have black fur? Were the designers racist? Were they making a social commentary with the characters appearance?
Why are Mario and Luigi Italian? Are all plumbers Italian? Are all Italians plumbers?

Because I said so.
