Why Modern Video Game Armies Lack Women

This is something all of us have wondered about (at least once) while laying waste to virtual enemy troops / combatants. Where the hell are all the female troops in today’s video games?

When you actually put in female characters, typically you have to put in an entire new skeleton model and that entire new skeleton model adds an entire new level of animation and an entire new level of rigging. You basically double the amount of data and memory for soldiers that would need to go into your game.
