I also appreciate their concern for accurate representation and good writing of women.
My biggest problem with the gaming industry was always crappy writing of female characters. It frequently seemed to be that the writers didn't get them very well so they always ended up very simple characters (who also many times fall over any old protagonist, which was also a little frustrating). Even good games like Dragon Age: Origins I felt suffered from this problem somewhat.
I'm hopeful to see more good work out of the team too. And yes, I tend to play double female protagonist myself, so I also appreciate that. I find it far more interesting this way.
