Sorry, but you cannot honestly think that most women are into soulslikes when not even most men are into them.

What you just said amounts to ‘nobody likes soulslikes’ which is just fucking insane, soulslikes are obviously popular.

What they said is true, its not a jab at the genre.

What they said is literally ‘less than 50% men like soulslikes, and less than 50% women like soulslikes’ which would be a statistical miracle to be an incorrect statement because it’s hard to make something to appeal to majority including those that never come close to PC or a console. Even if you only count gamers that would probably be hard to achieve, as that is not the same as positive reviews because reviewers are a subset of population that is already not against the genre

17,000 Steam reviews, 98% positive, and only a month since launch: Dressmaker is a massive hit, and the devs reckon it shows "women are such an underserved market"
