It’s just that nobody can figure out exactly how to do it - except the Japanese, apparently.

I think that a big part of it has to do with the differences in our brains. Most boys just happen to really enjoy blowing things up*, and the only place they can do that is in a video game. The things that most girls enjoy doing, they are able to do in real life, so they don’t find any enjoyment from the escape of a game.



* or whatever it is that the game lets them do.
