    Found some stats on gamers.

    Average game player is 35 years old. A whopping 44% of all 155million US 'gamers' are female. Something to note, the study includes something called "social games", which I can only assume means things like farmville. http://www.theesa.com/wp-content/upl...Facts-2015.pdf

    I was kinda hoping it would say something regarding "% gender playing more than 5-6hrs a day" or something, but no-go.

    It may be safe to draw the conclusion that women like video games, but then either choose not to go pro or dont have the means to go pro.

    These numbers are overwhelmingly skewed by social games, which nobody really includes in the definition of gamer. They only include those games to make it seem like women care about it more than they really do because lol equality lol anything women can do men can do lol omg gamer girl.
