This might also be why we see more female protagonists in games.


Do they go into details of where, like what the numbers for the east and west? Like are most western devs likely to have female leads instead of like Nintendo having one or two a generation?

But also you can tell stories from a different perspective, and I don’t mean staring at them

I assume the women are heavily into the mobile/facebook/social sector.
 
Forums are obsolete to the newer generations.

Looks like that 2 million number is legit ...


If it's from Alinea, apparently it's completely fabricated. Alinea is getting shredded on social media right now because of the Helldivers 2 not making it into the top 10 for NPD, but Alinea said it was selling better than the PS5 version did and was at a million copies sold in the first 6 days of it being released on Xbox (according to Alinea).

Sounds like more and more forums are banning them.

Which is who game pass is perfect for.
Those people aren't going to sign up for GP, they've had 8 or 9 years to do it. Many of these people are probably only buying 2 games a year because they either spend most of their time playing F2P games, have limited time to play or just aren't interested in sampling a bunch of random titles they know nothing about.
 
I think social media is more prevalent these days. Forums are obsolete to the newer generations.
Women are mostly into mobile games and some RPGs, my sister plays the same game over and over on her phone and has for years so she would count. My mom used to play games on this EA service called POGO with other older women so she would count. I haven't looked at this report in detail but the last one I believe the highest number of female players in the types of games we play was 25% and that was RPGs, the rest was much lower.
