That's very possible, but I think in gaming there is this idea that maybe men can't make games that attract females? So at least possibly the creative team would need to be mostly female to be successful.

I don't know if that's true, but it could be either men don't understand as well what attracts female gamers, or they're not interested in making those kind of games.

It's probably less "men can't make games that attract females" and more "risky to explore game design other than what we know makes money that have historically been attracting men more than women". e.g. note from the article that "Twin Sisters" failed to raise venture capital money.
