They are just looking to sell more and maybe a bit of idealism. It seems that that stuff comes in waves. We had the bald space marine fad and now it's just another inclination seeking to get more money.
I'm a 40 yo dude and it never bothered me to not have an option to swap characters. Hell, I'm Mexican and we seldom get good representation in games. It's the same to me. I just want to have well written characters, I don't mind if they like men or women.
Games became more accesible because they got massified. They appeal to a much wider audience now. I can't spend that many hours trying to master a game so I welcome that change. I don't need to show how good I am at every turn. I rather have a wide variety of games that I can try and play without having to invest dozen hours to start enjoying. I'm up for variety so it's great that difficult games are still there for whoever has the time and the inclination.
Overall I think we are having a hard time accepting that the industry is transitioning and looking for another audience. At least that's what I'm seeing with friends.
