This tag will hopefully be made obsolete when the more complex author system gets in.

Quoted from original main description, by Zerothis:
It is rare a female has creative control of design. An involving story, unique concepts, the challenge of a cheating AI, are just a few examples of how this often makes for a better game

Replaced the main description so it doesn't have BBcode nor the implication that female authors make by default better or more unusual games (there's no proof of such, and is also quite sexist).
