Orange Site discussion got flagged for some reason
Dumb comments:
Reminder the "majority of g*mers" stat includes Candy Crush.
There's plenty of studies on men being more visual, but that's chud science now.
No comment.
From the study:
For their part, men are rated as better and more competitive players (Salter, 2018), which increases the invisibility of women in this community.
They're trying to frame this as discrimination rather than foids realizing it's easier to get their tits out than to learn to 360 noscope.

You are the reason for " You think you hate journos enough, but you don't "
The majority of g*mers survey specifically avoided using the word g*mer or videogame, specifically avoided asking about playtime, and specifically avoided asking how much money was spent on games, the actually useful metrics.
Wamen are not the majority of g*mers even including candy crush, some journo just told you they were.

Anecdotal but foids seem far more prone to sinking r-slurred amounts of money into in-game purchases. They're especially prone to rationalizing with "it's only $X per day, which is less than I spend on [other foid money pit]". I would not find it hard to believe the majority of people sinking $500+ into a single game are women.

Interesting thing to note is it mentions women are 52% of mobile games. it also says women are 49% of gaming overall. I'd like to see the stat without including mobile games.

With or without mobile games is useless.
The intention of the surveys/studies is to find that lots of women play video games. Therefore, the methodology is always constructed in such vague terms as to include as many women as possible. They will define games as broadly as possible. They will define the act of playing those games as broadly as possible.
If the survey isn't measuring hours played or dollars spent(on yourself), it doesn't matter what genres or platforms they sample.
