About time
Women also make up 50% of PC video game players and 54 percent of mobile game players.
I find a lot of these figures really hard to believe, to be honest.
Looking at the link, there is little I can find about their methodology.
im doing my part!
Me too! But I still avoid voice chat… :P
Ugh same. The number of gross comments I’ve gotten on vc over the years is enough to fill a book.
I’m mainly on PC now though, playing single player games or games with my fiancée and/or friends
so many comments in disbelief lol, almost like gaming is more accessible now hmmmmm
The comments: No way, women don’t play games. I never see them.
Yeah no, they might not be on your games. But having seen the sheer lust for Link, I’m not surprised switch is popular.
And the crazy thing is, the industry really doesn’t do a good job at this. The numbers could really be higher, especially mobile, but the sheer number of male fantasy waifu games out there is ludicrous. (Although, unsurprisingly, the dollars earned from whales are overwhelming male, especially internationally where the wage gap is higher, so that’s what drives that).
I can say from my experience most women I know are gamers. I’d say the biggest difference is they tend to play more single player experiences. My older sister has always been a big jRPG nerd, and my younger sis was always into Bethesda games, especially Fallout. Meanwhile a lot of my friends are into life sim games like Stardew Valley, the Sims, and Animal Crossing, and we tend to play the latest big nintendo game together.
I am probably the only person in my group of friends that does anything remotely multiplayer, unless it’s local or coop.
cool. i can say from experience most women I have ever met do not play video games.
