I have been a customer of Raven and Id Software for longer than I care to remember.  I've purchased all Heretics, Hexens, Dooms and Quakes, and I've played most of them into the ground.

I love your work, and I have loved it for years.

So I was very disappointed today when I setup my multi-player options for Quake 4.  We are half-way through the first decade of the 21st Century and Raven Software have decided to take us back in time to the mid-90s.

Why are there no female multiplayer models in Quake 4?  There must be a reason.  It can't possibly be an oversight, can it?

Males aged whatever to whatever (Mature rating notwithstanding) may be your largest audience.  But I suspect that women are your fastest growing audience.  This is not the time to alienate us.

We've supported you for years, we'd appreciate a nod in our direction.

Sincerely,

Kate D----
