/pol/ lied to me. I thought only kids play video games? Wrong. The average gamer is 41 years old and has a respectable job and good income. Also, a lot of them are women.Don’t shame me for playing Call of Duty.
>>518700368Let me guess, they are counting mobile slop like 3 in a row as actual games
>>518700368>gaymers are now women Makes sense because it's for soft handed pencilnecks. The women probably feel right at home.
>>518700450This
>>518700368You are enabling the beast system of podded VR slop consumers being prepped for MAID extinction.
>>518700450Wrong. Go to an Call of Duty lobby, and you can tell it’s people in their late 30s and early 40s that come from a higher socioeconomic status. Call of Duty is the patricians choice
> some random retard on /pol/ said something retarded to me once> /pol/ lied to me!!!! how dare you guys!!!!
>>518700368There is 0 chance this is real. They must be counting flappy birds type shit. Even then that just sounds like bullshit.
>>518700931False
>>518700931I believe it. Most gamers I run into now are all 30+It's actually rare to find an under 30 on anything that isn't mainstream slop like Cod or fifa.
They are still counting women who played Farmville on Facebook 15 years ago as gamers
>>518700368> nearly half are womenlol ok faggot.
>>518700368MAGA boomers infest this board. They think video games are for nerds still. Normal people don’t have that mindset.
>>518700368the categorization of woman today is so broadly that they are including gynecomastia as forced gender assignment.
>>518701843Call of Duty does shockingly have a large female audience
>>518701769Don't know how Canucks are dealing with shit but in America all males under 30 are playing video games and talking about them all the time. Females are never playing them but might lie occasionally but if you go to their house there's nothing there. They don't play them. Explicitly a male hobby.
>>518700368When games were good, there were no women. Now that games are bad, half of the people are women, and half of men have probably stopped playing games. The most interesting things about these studies and reports is what they shed light on, but do not focus on or address.
>>518701972/pol/ has always been majority Gen X and millennials
>>518701981Not surprised. It was always the fps for people who can't aim.
Proof
>>518702019Guarantee if you isolate phone games the percentage drops to <10%, it drops down to <.1% if you control for freeware and extremely popular mainstream F2P. Actual dedicated, real releases are played exclusively by males. You can merely glance at the YouTube gaming content sphere to see it is overwhelmingly male when you control for that shit.
>>518700368just played candy crush while waiting for the bus.hbu, fellow gamers?
>>518702290Gamers have more expendable income. You rode a bus. You are not a gamer
>>518702267now phone games are sold on steam, it's that bad
>>518700368Fact: most gamers were born on January 1st 1900.
>>518702290Almost at 100% on Cookie Clicker
I'm 42 and I still game. Just not FPS-slop because my reflexes are garbage now. But I used to be a force to be reckoned with back in OG half-life counterstrike.
>>518701769I work with a bunch of dudes from 20-50's they all play games. I don't play with the young dudes because they mostly want to play slop. I will convince one of they to buy me bf6 since I don't want to pay for that. the player base in Australia will be gone in 3 months anyway. they all have PC's except one gen x dude just plays warzone on PS5 and that is the only thing he plays apart from sports games. no idea why he is so into US sports
>>518700368They're counting things like farmville or whatever the modern equivalent is. yeah, if you count that then I can imagine. Now how about we don't count mobile games you only play while taking a crap?
>>518702447And you can still control for "obvious bullshit not real games". You can also control for party games because literally everyone plays those. They toss shit like Mario Party once a year at your nerd friends house into these statistics. Dedicated gamers with passion for the medium, interest in the industry, and genuine hobbyists are mostly male. Why we need to still pretend women are gamers is stupid it is CURRENT YEAR+10 and no one believes this obvious manufactured half truth but they are beyond all reason insistent on pushing it. Fucking why.
>>518700368>Mobile "games">Browser "games">Social media "games"They include shit like wordle as games nowadays it's very disingenuous and that's by design
Gamers get pussy too
>>518701981>nearly halffuckoff
>>518702512Oh I'll also mention there's actually a 53 year old British woman that I game with online every now and then.
I bet there isn’t a single woman over 40 with PS/xboxLiterally dragging the entire hobby into the ground
>>518702512>>518702692There are older pro circuits now, there's a guy who's like 73 who won a tournament recently. You could probably train your reflexes up good enough to compete with younger people though, if you really wanted to.
>>518700731Call of Duty is boomer shit. Kids don't play that shit anymore.
>>518702842Proving the article
>>518700368>Unsurprisingly, mobile devices are the most popular gaming platform across all demographics, which will likely bring debate over the definition of "gamer." Fifty-five percent of respondents said it was their favorite way of playing games. It's especially popular among those over 50 (61% in this age group said they play on mobile), while half of those under 35 said they game on these devices. Meanwhile, consoles and PCs are both played by 21% of participants.Yeah browns and boomers playing candy crush and solitaire doesn't make them "gamers"
gayming is so cringe
>>518700368>/pol/ lied to me. I thought only kids play video games? Wrong. The average gamer is 41 years old and has a respectable job and good income. Also, a lot of them are women.Those women are 65+ years old and retired, that spend their time playing MMOs or farming simulators.
>>518702750see>>518702692You little crotch maggots think there's some arbitrary age where you're no longer allowed to have leisure time/hobbies>>518702829I don't know last time I played CS:GO I remember I was like "Wtf is that guy wall hacking?" after, on my end, it felt like I got sniped right as I emerged from the corner but when I watched the replay I was staring at the fucker for like a quarter of a second and still didn't spot him. So I'd have a lot of training to do. But I prefer coop games like Risk of Rain 2 these days. I tried BF5 because they did that Japanese theatre update and pulled on the nostalgia strings by using the old BF1942 music but that shit's full of actual cheaters. Still, experience does beat reflexes with a sniper rifle sometimes. You just know what way those little crotch maggots are going to scatter.
>>518700368zoomers play mobile crapmillenials are the main demographic, cause vidya had its golden age, when they were growing up
>>518703047No they're over 50 and playing solitaire on their phone PC "gamers' were less than 21% of those polled see >>518702896
>>518700368Holyfucking hell zoylennials are STILL gaming
>>518703121>playing solitaire on their phoneThat's gotta be pretty giant phone screen.
>>518703121yeah and all the companies making games for the 21% playing on PC/PS/XBOX want the mobile games market. so they make their games shithouse. I wonder how many Unreal 5 Engine farms exist in India too
>>518700368this is what happens when you let kids play video gamesvideo games should be for adults and old people
>>518703372No? My mum plays solitaire on her phone all the time and she has cataracts
>>518700368>The average gamer is 41 years old and has a respectable job and good income. Also, a lot of them are women.>Also, a lot of them are women.>a lot of them are women.>women.>41
>>518703247>STILL gamingAgain like this is such a mentally retarded supposition here.The older you are the more time and money you have for hobbies. Unless your parents fucked you up with some helicopter parenting bullshit most kids are independent enough to not require constant supervision past the age of 12. Like when I was growing up that was basically the prize for turning 13. As long as I called to say where I was or where I was going so they knew when they needed to start worrying I was basically free to make my way around town and visit friends on my own, etc. So I would actually expect more 40 year olds to be playing games than 30 year olds because their kids are younger and need more attention. But even then, >enjoy video games>kid also enjoys video gamesWho the fuck wouldn't want to play videogames with their kid? What kind of fuckass non existent parents did you have?
>>518702671Can we see more of the master butt?
>>518702019games are still good if you put in some effort to make them coollike survival mode in fallout 4 or mod the far crys make them harder
>>518700731That doesn't mean he's wrong. They are still counting my 85 year old grandma playing mahjong on her ipad as a gamer
A word of encouragement to my fellow middle-aged gamers. When some punkass kid calls you 'unc' the only thing he's actually mad about is that your dad actually came home with the milk and his didn't.
>>518704006"Shut the fuck up your little faggot"
>>518702019>Now that games are badAren't all games ever made still available (in single player)?
>>518700368phone games like candy crush, cooking mama, fruit ninja etc.. don't count, thats where you'll find that 1/2 that are women
>>518704006I just start talking in a terrible accent back to them since most of them aren't white. if they are white I mimic their high pitched voice and make comments about their balls dropping. the objective is to get them to break their keyboard
>>518700368GAMERS UNITE
>>518700368I'm a 38½ year old trans woman who took PTO to play Battlefield 6 with my trans sisters, so this makes sense.
>>518700368I didn’t play video games until i was like 23 because i grew up in a religious cult
>>518703616Kek okay you infantile oldfag go regress into childhood some more until you die alone, actual adults only have more responsibilities not less
>>518703616>Again like this is such a mentally retarded supposition here.Zoomgroids made up the idea that there is a rigid schedule where you "age out" of any given activity or behavior. I think it connects with their ideas about age gap relationships making you bad goyim.
How about time spent gaming though?I'm 38 and it's 30-60 minutes on my handheld a day, when I was 22 I could chomp through a 16 hour session on WoW no sweat.
>>518704483Making this post while you sit on 4chan kek
>>518703616> Millenials> Having childrenKek pick one and only one you woke tumblr reddit nokia strong me me me infantile cancer generation
>>518704278overwatch and fallout 76 and possibly destiny have a large female base
>>518704521Holycope lmfao show me a picture of your family you peter pan nigger
>>518704566why would you want to play games with women? I am glad I avoided these games
>>518704550Because im 21 you absolute faggot, imagine pushing 40 and still being an infantile child go blame boomers some more wahahahah
>>518702889They play vidya more than ever, just not CoD.
>>518702264OOoooo, it's all the trannies. It would make sense that trannies / fags identifying as girls would throw that metric way off
>>518700368Video games have been mainstream popular for about 30 yearsAnd so those people that grew up with video games continued to play them These are the same people from the teens to early 20s demographic 30 years ago
>>518700368I know this is very hard for wojaklennials to understand but essentially throughout all of history people turn into adults and dont just regress into an infantile childish state, the boomers did it, gen x did it, zoomers are doing it? So why cant the childless woke generation of hipster faggots do it? Too busy buying funkopops and mario kart?
>>518704006Or mention your generation was the last to finish puberty. Why do they all look 12 years old? How freakish will they look at 50?
>>518700368Imagine being born with like 50x the opportunity zoomers had and zoylennials still ended up trash wahahahahah
>>518704883>going back to your hobbies after successfully raising children that don't require your constant attention until the age of 35 is trashYeah go fuck yourself, kike.
>>518700368>Call of DutyMore like Call of Jewty.
>>518700368>a lot of them are womenThis is a bullshit statistic that comes from self-reports. If the baseline for being a gamer was not just a self-reporting process, but instead included "owns at least one console, plays at least an average of an hour per day, and does not strictly play mobile games," then I'd believe there are more women gamers. This isn't to say that there aren't female gamers out there, only to say that many of those are trannies and even more are "gaming" for the attention it brings them as opposed to the gaming itself. tl,dr: fuck women, segregate gaming lobbies by protected status, and who gives a shit about what anyone else thinks
>Nearly half are womenNo, lol.
>>518705715It’s true.
>>518705361A lot of women will say they play video games if they play candy crush, or Mario kart once a month
>>518702842Kids play Roblox.Its the only thing i know about them.
>>518707022lots of the younger ones seem to have played the sims when they were teenagers. they had to have a dad that was into computer though. so only whites and asains
>>518700450Well, diehard gamers are old, if I'm 31 and videogames were around before I was born it can make sense .Now if we cut out from the statistics the crap that doesn't count as videogames I'd bet that the results would be very different.
>>518707098They also unironically play games like Raid: Shadow Legend that they see on ads.
>>518700368Name 5 good games from the past 5 years. Neon White is the only one that captured the feeling of pre-PS3 era games
>>518707022My point exactly, nigga.
>>518707500CP2077, CK3, SWBF2, HD2, and KCDHonorary mention for Mount and Blade bcause fuck you, it's amazing even if bannerlord shit the bed a bit.
>>518707619KCD is 7 years old... the new pozzed antiwhite one doesn't count.
>>518707500Skyrim 10th anniversary edition, Skyrim 11th anniversary edition, Skyrim 12th anniversary edition, Skyrim 13th anniversary edition, skyrim 14th anniversary edition, Skyrim 15th anniversary edition. We good or are you going to move the goalposts again?
>>518700450even if they aren't people are not having kids, that is the average age of humansn in western countries now,also kids are likely glued on sloppotube.
Gen X is almost 60 now. All of those 4chan shitposters from 2003..... dadbodded.
>>518707950>also kids are likely glued on sloppotube.Another thing I've noticed. "kids these days". Not only do they prefer tiktok/youtube shorts but their attention spans are so utterly fucked up that they can't even sit through entire youtube shorts without getting bored. It's insane.
>>51870785514th would be next month, and 15th next year.
>>518702671The Japanese are a gamer race. They are outliers for gaming demography stats.
>>518704637>21So you’re a fucking child. Opinion discarded.
>>518700560Gay men-ers are now women trying to be-ers.Hell I've been told gay men poll as women to help some LGBT cause so nobody knows who is playing what as what.
>>518708330Don't even bother. He's just a fucked up helicopter kid that was raised by a single mother. They all are.
>>518700368>41 yo womenNo surprise, when I played world of warcraft in 2006, there were many bored married women in their late 30s playing.
>>518702005Women do play games but most of them do it discreetly. They often play sims or any social videogames. This one old lady told me her daughter plays dota2 all day
>>518700450anon.... /v/ and /vg/ have been compromised by gachaslop for years now. Mobile was always the future.
>>518700731its league of legends and fortnite, retard.>League of Legends has a total of 150 million registered players. Over 117 Million players are actively playing monthly and 10 – 11 active players daily.
>>518700368They include phone games, which are made for women.This is like including crossword puzzles or word searches 30 years ago.
>>518712112if its a crossword puzzle or word search you play on your phone, its a video game.
NOOOOO YOU ARE A THING IF YOU ARE A MAN AND DOING THINGS NOT FOR A WOMAN! YOU ARE A THING! WOMEN ARE ALWAYS WOMEN FIRST. YOU ARE ARE JUST SOME SHITTY THING YOU SHITTY MAN!
>>518710830it's roblox you dumb nigger. roblox has significantly more players than both of those combined
>>518700368I just helped my gamer friend try and plug a hole in his tire. Hes arms were so weak, he couldn't overcome the pressure to drive the needle eye into the tire to implant the seal. I was disgusted.
Gaming culture peaked with millennials. This is old news. We millennials truly are the manchild generation. Some of us did just fine (not me though lol) but most of us are completely lost.
>>518700450ITS CALLED TIC TAC TOE IVAN
>>518700368Can confirm I am 41 and I am an average gamer
