Game Content
In the Game Content section, can we have a citation for the claim "Although these games were, and still are, successful with male gamers, the violent and aggressive nature proved to be less appealing to women."? Seems to be based off the stereotype that men like violence and women don't. - Drake

Winter 2017 Notes
Bess:
This article is reasonably close to a Blue Star. It'd be helpful if someone stepped back and looked at each of these sections and each subsection. IS there a logical flow to how this is organized? This is a little bit of a maze, though there is some strong content in here. We could restructure this to make it easier to navigate and read.
