Now that woman are the majority of gamers should games be designed to reflect their tastes? Should video game companies be forced to hire women in key executive positions to facilitate this much needed change?

which games are they playing?

Video games *are* culturally significant. Sounds dumb but they are. No one cares about "high art" anymore because kids are too lazy to make anything on par with what marble sculptors back in the day did

Is this another figure that includes women who've ever installed a mobile app on their iPhone?

Kek good one

Is the joke that high art has literally no cultural currency at this point?

Gay thread and the study likely includes mobile bullshit.

I mean, everyone copes with this bullshit anyway where the news picks whatever study sounds interesting and suits their views no matter how haphazardly done, so that's already a given.

Why are you like this user?

Yes and yes.
gaming survived a decade making nothing but brown videogames, it can survive another decade on female designs and will most likely suck much less.

Games apparently already reflects their tastes, otherwise they wouldn’t be the majority playing them.

Only a woman would willingly get themselves on a fucking study instead of playing video games.

That's a quote from Chella, not the study.

If they’re the majority of gamers then aren’t games obviously fine as they are if they’ve attracted so many female players?

does this mean that women are racist, sexist, and transphobic, since they're the majority of gamers?

Cringe

Video games already are designed for women, otherwise they wouldn't be the majority of gamers, if anything we should start developing games for men to bring more diversity.

We, men, are minority, we should asko fro MORE MEN REPRESENTATION IN VIDYA

>retards pretending mobileshit are games

Women don't have different taste in videogames generally speaking.

fpbp. OP is a fag.

i take it this study defines females that are biologically male but identify as female, like my gender neutral 6 month old, who Absolutely LOVES playing with dolls despite being born unfortunately with a penis? :(

Making games to pander to the most common consumer is how you make bad games with no soul, doesn't matter what that demographic is

this
they'll like different books, movies, cars, and fashion, but will love the game video games

Cool source you fat faggot

Mobile shit don't count men play the real shit

this is what the data tells us. unfortunately they dont take into account a lot of other factors. like how much they spend on video games in a year vs their male counterparts. that allow could indicate one male consumer being worth multiple female consumers.

personally i could care less though, its time we culled some of this shit box companies who think its their god given right we buy their games, and love it.

you known, i really do wonder what kind of studies they do to get to those conclusions

If gamers are women then the games already reflect their tastes. Nothing needs to change.

>article from 2017
>The study carried out by Nesta, a charity that calls itself “the innovation foundation”, used data from the government’s Taking Part Survey of 10,000 adults to look at the characteristics of video game players and their cultural participation.
>It found that women were more likely to play games than men — albeit less frequently — and that the average gamer was 43 years old.
This shit was taken from a uk survey about the arts-- already a red flag for skewing data, and did not specifically mention videogames in ANY of the questions I can find for any of the years. I may be blind, but even if it did, the questions are super vague.
>Did you engage with the arts in the last year?
So the question was likely

I new you were all a bunch of women.

Probably not but you are still a nigger for not going for the flag

All the girls I talk to play games, all the guys I talk to play games too. Basically I'm a gamer, and I only interact with other gamers -- and if you don't game, I suggest you leave my presence before you get noscoped. B*tch.

Lol that fucking shirt

>Steam - 18% women
>Switch - 50% womans
>Xbox - 42% womem
>Mobile - 60% wimmins

has steam ever asked people their gender? I feel like they should, and then publish that data. Would put some of this shit to rest.

Now thats a giga jew wherever i saw one

also sage this bait thread

This

Candycrush or whatever they play on phones these days

>video game companies be forced to hire women in key executive positions

neoliberalism everybody

its bullshit news, good thing im not a dev

in this day and age that data would mean nothing since i'm sure steam has its fair share of special snowflakes who change their identity every second

Did they mention the part they're all trannies as well?

Nah you guys have it wrong, they're playing actual games but the mentally ill are ticking female instead of male.

whoever decided to write this should dilate instead because the majority of gamers are still men.
girls (male) aren't excused to be female and will never be no matter how much literally WHO wants them to be.
also, as hard as it is to acknowledge mental illness and vidya go hand in hand unfortunately.
I love my games but know that the majority of gaymers are trannies.

of course, so they probably wouldn’t invest in the proper hardware and $60 a game

But I thought gamers were a bunch of whiny entitled bigots? What is Nesta trying to say?

Lawyers and politicians are just as up there

Every week I see an article claiming that the majority of gamers are women, yet a lifetime of gaming has given me no indication if this is true or not.
Does the survey include mobile games?
I believe this raises an interesting question about what a gamer really is, as I assume society as a whole would not qualify a 40 year old single mother who played candy crush back in 2010 as a gamer.
Do we have any data on what percentage of consoles users are female?

>recluse

>Does the survey include mobile games?
More often than not. But that's not the reason, the reason is this whole gender fluidity thing.

based obsessed redditor

there can’t be that many trannies in vidya

was this the onion?

Dominic is big dick energy in human form

This thread is stupid. We all know that they stretch the definition of "gamer" to gerrymander Candy Crush moms into the demographic. By no means are mobile apps in the same category as video games.

gambling isn't gaming

I mean the word gaming is just too broad, we need better terminology. Hunters are also technically gamers.

There is when you include casuals in your count and combine them with real women.

likely this.

But as far as if they should do this or that they're going to do whatever makes them more money.

welcome to facebook bot spams

I believe the statistic forgot to point out that among those women, the trannie segment that identifies as female is 40%.

Mobile games aren't games

Their ADHD scumbag audience who won't read anything that doesn't scream hysterical lies in their face. Journalists have to write what sells, and as long as people keep eating bullshit, that's what they'll keep writing.

damn thats an ugly mulatto

If we talk the west what said. If we're talking Japan, they like games like Atelier, Neptune and other sexy or comfy games ON TOP of gacha, otome and BL games of course.

the (((people))) who fund them

Good for them, I guess. I don't care. Let retarded shareholders force companies to chase after the market that literally doesn't buy their games because anyone who ever installed candy crush is now a "gamer" based on data google and apple sell as "raw information on gender metrics in game interest". If they think they're gamers, good on them, the term means nothing and hasn't for two decades, no more than being "a cook". If you throw tv dinners in the microwave you're considered "a cook" so I didn't expect gaming to be saved from the same stupidity.

That said, the most important thing is that they enjoy it. If they enjoy throwing their money in a toilet, good on them. Gacha is horrible to me, and I refuse to support any game that uses gacha in any way shape or form, even "exclusively cosmetic" gacha shit is still gambling and still very bad to support.

games shouldn't be designed to reflect anyones taste, then you get causalalized shit, yearly call of duties and mobapocalypses. Also is this one of those "studies" that says playing candy crush once a week on your phone makes you a gamer?

*majority of mobile gamers

>should games be designed to reflect their tastes?
what do you think mobile games are, and why the hell do you think it makes so much money (and why even triple-A developers are trying to get in on it)?

>should games be designed to reflect their tastes?
They are, mobile games are the biggest money makers now.

There's lies. There's DAMN lies. And then there's studies/stastics.

that would still make the vast majority of those women actual women. trannies might make a tie breaker at best

well, this explains why I went to that itch.io yesterday and the best seller was a vn about being trans in Japan...

Are these Woman the alt-right I hear about?

My aunt is unironically exactly what that headline describes, but she doesn't play mobileshit and actually has decent taste.

Unfortunately I get the impression that she's severely in the minority as far as 'women playing video games' goes so the answer is no, OP

LOL
