    Either way, this is very much a road you don't want to go down.
    No? I specifically wrote about time spent in the game and that you could have fun with any amount of time, since that what the games are for, right? How did you came up with an idea of me suggesting women cant play hard games? I have no idea.
    I meant, women tend to be more busy in real life for obvious reasons, and they will choose more (FUN) rewarding game per hour spent over a game where you have to no life in order to get nice things. FFXIV you could play any time you want and you will still enjoy it, for example playing hard content which does not require a ton of time to just get in and do it.

    Because you specifically linked the higher female demographic this game has towards its lack of difficulty. You're still doing it by making the broad assumption women inherently have busier lives than men. If we're going by pure accessibility, virtually every FPS game is pick up and play. In fact, one could argue games like Fortnight or Smash Bros are easier because they literally require zero investment to reach their respective end game. Furthermore, I wager plenty of men play FFXIV for the same reasons you described. Fun and rewarding is also entirely subjective. What you find fun, someone else—regardless of their gender—may not.

    Point being. You brought gender into a discussion where it has no relevance.
