What’s the video game demographic these days? 20 years ago the stereotype was that only young boys played games. These days, the audience has definitely aged up, but how popular are games with women?
>>735000887they play stardew valley and if western AAA grew up and started making some light smut about girls getting sexually controlled by vampires and werewolves they'd be playing that.it's not a coincidence that BG3 got some female attention.
>>735000887I only play about 1-2 games a year now and it's typically older titles. I mostly spend my free time building and painting model kits.
I don't care about women
>>735000887mutt girls are so fucking bretty
>>735001150I don't care that you're gay.
>>735000887Women are scary gamers. If they do like a game they are like one game autists with 1000s of hours in it. Tamadachi life is the next girl game.
>>735000887>but how popular are games with women?Same as ever. Women who actually play vidya were and are exceptions.
>>735001187I miss when girls did some scary things to me
>>735000887>how popular are games with women?Depends on where you look. I have a female friend who is better at Mega Man games than anyone else I know. Another is really good at Guilty Gear XX. My fiancée can occasionally beat me at Street Fighter 2, and she really likes FF Crystal Chronicles. They admittedly seem to be the exception and not the rule, though.
>>735000887they play nintendo games like zelda, farmslop/cozyslop games like harvest moon, mobile games like those align the gems or whatever puzzle games, and sometimes shit like that final fantasy mmo which has an oddly high percentage of real woman (xx) players
>>735001163Stefanie Joosten isn’t a mutt, she’s 100% Limburg dweebgirl.
>>735001150Gaaaaaaaay
>>735000887Over 95% of games with female protags the past 14 years are flops and cringe shit trying to poorly copy better past games while trying to sell its identity politics as a compensatory factor for that, so you tell me.
>>735000887you have to remember that there are 107 boys born for every 100 girls that are born, so there's always going to be a huge skew towards males in anything where the demographic is under 30obviously male mortality is significantly higher so eventually it flips and eventually there's like 8 women for every 1 man over the age of 100.but for something like videogames that the vast majority of 80 year olds aren't playing, the fact that there are so many more millions more men born than women make the demographics much more of a sausage fest just from those base rates
>>735001150Based!
>>735001471Okay but that's not Joosten.
Joosten qt
>>735003503Then who is it? Estefanía Jósteña?
>>735000887There has been increasing segregation in the gaming marketYour average PS5 owner is 35 years old with a child, hence all the dad games about being a dad. Their time with games is increasingly limited, leaving fewer sales opportunities for new games.But the average gamer under 15 plays nothing but Fortnite and Roblox which is why PlayStation has almost entirely given up on first party titles below an M-ratingThe top 20 most played games make up like 90% of all consumer spending on video games today, and that list is increasingly static with titles like COD Warzone, Roblox and GTA Online dominating it. So even though a platform holder like Sony is making more money than ever from vidya, it's coming from considerably fewer sources than ever before.And that's not even getting into mobile gaming, which has so little overlap with traditional console and PC gaming that it's essentially its own industry. It's also where the women are at.
>>735003691Man, I hate dad gaymers
>>735003691Accurate post. Kids only play the same few live service games, they don't really care about anything else. The days of kids playing single-player or offline multiplayer are gone, and once these kids grow up they're not gonna "graduate" to other games, they'll continue playing whatever live service slop is popular in the future or stop playing vidya entirely. The medium is on a timer, it's pretty much over in a few decades.
>>735003503It absolutely is. I’m sure someone ITT has the full teen Stef cosplay sets.
>>735003691Yup. It's also why Nintendo is trying to cater a bit more to developing countries like South American ones or SEA. But it's too late for them because the parents there that would've bought games for their kids or teens using their pocket money aren't there anymore. The kids and teens are all playing F2P slop and the parents are buying tablets, phones, or even a PS5/pre0built to play F2P games.
>>735003691So where does Nintendo fit in all this with their success, if the kids are all busy in Roblox? Is it all Nintendo adults?
>>735006423>Is it all Nintendo adults?That would be my guess, it's people that were playing N games when they were young 20+ years ago.
>>735000887That looks like alannah Pearce tanned.
>>735004352Cool, who is she even cosplaying?
>>735007636Looks like Tifa from Advent Children.
>>735000887I've only heard women in real life talk about Fortnite, Minecraft, Overwatch. And they buy a new console just to play one of these games. If they play other games they've never said.
>>735007730Wait no they also talked about The Last of Us
A woman who games is like a woman who smokes.
>>735001117Normie. The cool part of normie.
>>735003503>he wasn't around post TPP traileraw man you missed so many fun threads.
>>735007698Lacks the hard ballistics. She's going as quiet mutt.
>>735000887My sister apparently loves gem wars, she is a 30 year old lesbian.
>>735007730Are these “women” 13 years old?
>>735000887Is Joosten married yet?
>>735000887only 15% of gamers were ever womenit ws only ever guys and now women ruined it, now men hav no fun hobbies left
