I didn't know that about the 56% figure, that's fascinating. I know that somewhere around 30% of people who play MMORPGs are women. That's a number that could be bigger too, and I think is likely to grow.
That's good to know about Bioware & Turbine. I would, a few years ago, have included Blizzard, because at the outset, WoW was fairly woman-friendly. Female toon models were not disproportionate caricatures, and there was nothing in the game content that implied, anywhere, that women are less capable and less fully empowered. That came from the players, who brought their sexism, racism, and 'phobia with them from Earth... and by degrees, over the years, Blizzard has done less and less to stop them from spewing it in-game.
Thank you for the nod to WIGI -- I will look into them.
