        Ugh same. The number of gross comments I’ve gotten on vc over the years is enough to fill a book.

        I’m mainly on PC now though, playing single player games or games with my fiancée and/or friends

    Women also make up 50% of PC video game players and 54 percent of mobile game players.

    I find a lot of these figures really hard to believe, to be honest.

    Looking at the link, there is little I can find about their methodology.

    The comments: No way, women don’t play games. I never see them.

    Yeah no, they might not be on your games. But having seen the sheer lust for Link, I’m not surprised switch is popular.

    And the crazy thing is, the industry really doesn’t do a good job at this. The numbers could really be higher, especially mobile, but the sheer number of male fantasy waifu games out there is ludicrous. (Although, unsurprisingly, the dollars earned from whales are overwhelming male, especially internationally where the wage gap is higher, so that’s what drives that).
