DayZ Standalone MMO to Come With Female Avatar Option

This is the latest look at the development of a standalone version of DayZ, the survival-FPS mini-MMO that became so popular and so emergent last year, it even started attracting its own embedded journalists. New features include an expanded world, simplified user interface, and customizable avatar clothing styles:

Also mentioned -- female avatar options. (2:45) Some women gamers have complained about the original game's lack of female avatars as a big disincentive to play, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when the game has them. More a mixed gender dystopia a la Walking Dead, hopefully.

I've been playing dayz with a female avatar for ages.

Do women play Mario, or they just complain?
I mean, that gender-related hype is getting really annoying. At least the part of it when every game with added female character is considered as a personal victory of feminist society.
