Bitching that sex sells is kinda just objectively stupid.
Doubly so when you cherry pick male centric entertainment and ignore female centric entertainment that does NOTHING but the female gaze.
Different groups of people flock to different entertainment and all of them for all of human history has sold themselves to their audience.
Video games objectively do get played more by men. And more men buy certain types of games over others on top of that
Don't blame the companies on that one. Blame your fellow consumers.
There are games out there that do sell towards the male attracted audience. Hell I frequently hear straight women and gay men both say that the new god of war games are basically nothing but sex selling to them. For example.
Video games are marketed to men cause video games historically were marketed to boys... because toy stores were strictly gendered in the 80s, so they made the choice least likely to impact sales (girls can play with boy toys, but boys can't play with girl ones)
Like, dude, preferences among genders are usually societally conditioned rather than distillations of some essential gender shit. Video games in the united states are majority played by women, if you're not counting strictly console gaming.
