I have no problem with developers of games like candy crush catering to women. But the type of games that women aren't interested in should stick to their core audience.

well since men are the minority now that means we should make more games to appeal to them
Mobile games are not video games.
Fuck off, cunt.
GTA series, Assassin's Creed series, CoD series, etc etc
But why they're called games in this case?
Out of the 52% how many of those play fighting games. I wanna show them a REAL game and beat their ass in some Clay Fighter 64
Pffft play Rise of the Robots noob
We must rise up bros... we are the minority and this cannot stand anymore we games that appeal to us.

Now it all makes sense why so many twitter checkmarks all say gamers are gross - they just hate women.

Why do they keep pretending this is real. The study is bullshit, and no I dont believe even if you include mobile games and facebook games that women make up even close to 50% of the demographic.
Mobile games are 100% not games can confirm. A real video game doesn't have 15 actual minutes of tutorials you cannot skip and options like auto mode that plays it for you while your away.
how many are acutally trannies?
I'm not chick but I love a good farm simulator. That's why Stardew Valley is so cool
False
No i mean they're still called games, if you google the definition it's there.
I'm not saying i think they're games, i'm just pointing this out.
if you reduce the power and influence of white men, who is left to control the masses?
if through your media you make a woman, turn against her family, then instead of investing her time and energy into building something with them.
she spends that on playing phone games, voting for random shit, buying credit cards and so on to all the useless corporation products.
the world doesnt use chains anymore, but the consumer who works all day, and is only given some chinese plastic and a like or up vote in return, is more profitable for the owner of that person than slaves ever were.

Men hunt, women nest. Shit, it's even true when it comes to fucking video games.
The Guardian is such a leftist news portal it's sickening at this point.
Ever since I got a new job which involves a lot of sitting at your desk and doing nothing, I've been started reading various news portals and The Guardians always somehow manages to piss me off.

He's right, you know.
Wait till the bill passes and mobile gacha bullshit is jeopardized.
Nothing wrong with women playing vidyia, my sister used to play tomb raider and resident evil back on psx era.
Also the majority of the women tend to fall pray to extremely predatory companies like giving 900 bucks in the sims DLC or some clicker shit.
The industry needs to get shit on so they stop pulling this shit on people.
Hold on a sec, let me look something up.
Yep, just as I thought, Unity and Unreal still don't have gender restrictions on their development software.
What's stopping women from doing what thousands of neckbearded virgins have done and making their own games?
Sims 4 and Overwatch
>as creators they are still largely absent
Oh wow that's a complicated one, maybe I don't know they just don't fucking want to make games ? It's not even true anyways, anywhere you look you either see a woman or a tranny working on every game. They just either don't talk about it cause nobody cares or they don't work on video games because they don't want to. I get trying to have more ebin girl gaymer but you can't force anyone to work on something they don't want like that.

Lying and deceiving games
No they fucking aren’t.
This is a blatant lie, any woman you meet will think you’re a loser if you play any video game other than sports shit or GTA.
And yet for console ownership they never make up more than 25%. Weird.
FPBP
Not really. I knew a huge Mega Man fanboy years ago who made his love for the series public (e.g. posting about it on social media) and he still got laid.
did you even read these articles? she criticises both sides of the issue in most of them
women have this thing called "taste", it's the same reason they only pursue the top 20% of men. consolenigger shenanigans do not appeal to the female species, they only want that top-tier PC shit.
that's such a lie
I've never met a man/boy who didn't play video games
And I've never met a woman/girl who did
No, there are some some women who play stuff like that, but in general even those types of games are too """"hardcore"""" for women. It's literally mobileshit, like candy crush
Not including that, animal crossing is pretty popular with women
That's why women will go after a good for nothing dude who doesn't do anything with his life other than act tough, because taste?
Women are just as stupid when it comes to taste as men. The human race in general is shit and I'm not a spider
this post is a joke, right? do you actually believe that women are that dumb?
Let them take the title. Everytime they write an article condemning "GAMERS DID [Thing]", we can just point at their fact that it's all women's fault.
Part of it is a joke, the spider part. Yes I do believe women are that dumb. Just as stupid as the regular man is.
What do you think women are born to be smarter than men? The majority of our species are idiots man. We're just the smartest idiots on the planet
>Yes I do believe women are that dumb. Just as stupid as the regular man is.
>We're just the smartest idiots on the planet
sounds like you haven't actually thought about this at all. if everyone is stupid then nobody is.
Women write these articles and last themselves on the back knowing hordes of angry Yea Forumsirgins will go through thread after thread seething at bump limit. Don’t fall for their trap. Ignore them and they lose their power
So that's how fake news started.

>9% of gamers are women. Heres how can we bridge this disgusting gamer gender gap
it's pretty pitiful how triggered this always makes Yea Forums
The average is dumb. People like Elon Musk, Einstein and friends? Not so much.
Have you ever played an online multiplayer game? You run across complete idiots all the time. Think of that but in real life for everyone.
What does it matter if they still bite the bait you mongoloid.
They are sponsored by publishers who want to push women into thinking they're gamers and start actually buying games. Women are way more of a mindless consumer than men. They'll screech about the pink tax but aren't willing to do anything about it. Instead of buying men's product, they'll keep buying the pink ones, because they know that way more testing, sampling etc. went into their body wash. One of the most popular passtimes and forms of social gatherings for women is literally just buying shit. They spend money everywhere, because they never had to learn how to be responsible, that's what 3rd wave feminism is about, keeping their irresponsibility safe from the pandora's box of equality they opened for themselves.
Meanwhile, the only real weakness of the same type men have is pussy, real or virtual. I feel like in the future that shit's gonna go, same as 3rd wave feminism. Pussified men will teach their kids not to look at women in a sexual way and normal men will teach their kids that it's just way too much bother.
No, the average person is intelligent, just unlearned/uninterested in learning.
Thanks. I want to watch that movie now.

RNG doesn't make a game less of a game. Most of them a still has mechanics and set of rules which creates a system to play with.

Do they take credit cards and names as reference? !! Many kids will take their parents credit card, mothers buy the presents and raise of single mothers !!!!!
I dont believe these polls without knowing how they get these infos.
And when was these poll 4 years ago? The time when mobile games like clicker heroes were popular!

>Japanese RPG 33%
Where is my JRPG gamer gf at?
Its less what is and is not a game, but its spheres of games. There are casual games, which is a completely different market than more hobby games. It would be like serving authentic chinese food in the middle of Iowa. People in both Iowa and china both eat food, but there paletes are very different. of course some, as in a vast majority might come back to the authentic Chinese food, but most will just stick to the Americanized chinese menu, while the local chinks eat off of of the special menu.
A better example would be people who play clue every now and then and people who play warhammer fantasy tabletop. yes technicaly they are both board games, but one is more casual, and the fanbases usualy dont overlap much.

Women, as usual unable to hold a proper private economy, play mobile games and purchase stuff in them all the time, hence why gaming companies are moving towards mobile (for example Blizzard and Bethesda).
Men are better at economics, and thus play PC games. But capitalism doesn't care, capitalism is about short term profit in one lifetime, and so the market will be exploited to the fullest.

Ah, I see you saved this image I made about a week ago.
I know it’s mine and that I created it because I photoshopped the header so that “THE GUARDIAN” is in the center, the login stuff was on the upper left and the headline was completely reworded by me to look more baity.
I should probably feel angry but I’m quite honored anons saved my OC image.
I agree. Some 80g - 100g meat per day is enough.
Besides i always ask me, if we need more vegetables, would this surpass plants they feed to animals? And since animals eat any plant they get is the fertilizer and insecticids lower than growing plants for people?
rubbish mobile games do not count
>B-BUT /pol/!
You put up literally zero counter argument, good job
>Why are more men in Universities then?
I think there are the same amount or equal women in universities. But you will see the distribution women tend are social and biology than technical.
Either mainstream games, cute popular games with no stakes like Animal Crossing or Candy Crush, or niche and difficult games like Megaten and there's no in-between. They tend to have more standards when they play video games that aren't on mobile, at least they don't play dumb shit like CoD or FIFA.
I like you!
>>Women get paid lower wages for the same job
Remember when that study of a million Uber drivers came out and it showed that female drivers quit sooner, did less fares overall, drove less often per day, drove slower, and avoided the bad parts of town?
And feminists STILL kept asking "B-but why do they get paid less?!"
This is me by the way.
I should have scrolled down more since OP saved this image I posted in that thread as well.
I think this guy is OP since the same exact question was asked in that thread.
Overall it seems OP is making the exact same thread with the exact same pics I uploaded a week ago.
Now I AM angry. Make your own OC thread OP instead of recreating others.
Yea Forums doesn't reward OC
Oh thx.
And 4k is a big enough case study group but i had to do some street asking for a study, only one percent wanted to participate.
And when i see some poor lad doing it, they get less people who were eager too.
Since that I will question all these polls as unprecise!
Companies do hire more woman than they used to. Not because they pay women less specifically, but because women entering the workforce increases the labor pool. Theres more workers than jobs, however, so theres downward pressure on wages. This means that wages systematically get suppressed.
I'm not afraid to call out your ilk where I see it. You don't have any arguments at all.
Obsessed
Soo why are you Yea Forums incels getting upset over this? Because you hate women in general?
>Meg Jayanth
Yes I did, and you're so fucking stupid that you couldn't think of a counterargument.
How utterly pathetic.
i love women...
The article is just trying to demonize men. The argument here is "even though women are the majority of gamers the evil patriarchy still makes games catered to men".
The arguments are right there mate. I'm sorry that you're too fucking stupid to understand them.
That's not a bite, it's a quick disarm.
Biting would be getting annoyed and engaging in a prolonged argument.
Lurk more, nigger.
Yawn, learn a new trick little boy, your act is old
>Why don't companies hire more women then? They'd save money
Because companies are retarded from start to finish. Managers hire competent women but don't promote them nearly as often as equally or less competent men so that's why on average they're paid less, they have less opportunities. Companies often try not to hire women because they'll suspect them to get pregnant and go on maternity leave, even though that's not guaranted and they discriminate women who don't want kids either because "that's weird and selfish, let's give fathers a raise instead despite them coming to work one hour late everyday to drop their kids to school xD!!1!one" when fathers are often absent at work too. And hiring more women and making it too obvious could be seen as illegal discrimination, that's too risky.
>Why are more men in Universities then?
I thought there were more women in college? It might depend on countries but in mine and in Europe in general way more women study after high school than men.
>Why don't they make more games oriented towards women then?
Japan already does that. For your typical JRPG you'll have equal opportunity fanservice and the female characters are as cool and varied as the male ones. It's the West that's still stuck in this "only men play vidya" and "vidya is art so we'll make our games edgy and serious" which is not necessarily something that's going to attract your average women who isn't already into video games in the first place.
I love women as much as the next rapist

Tales of series
I think they fucked up the title, since it contradicts the opening paragraph. Assuming that there's a roughly equal split between numbers of men and women in the world, then how can women form a majority if, according to them, 52% of women are gamers? Because I'd be willing to bet that it's at least 75-80% with guys, if not more.
Yeah I get that it was probably supposed to say "52% of gamers are women", but then how the hell do you get a job as a journalist if you manage to fuck up such a basic title?

Trannies arent common enough to influence the statistic. Only on Yea Forums does anyone actually see or hear of trannies.
It's just mobile game playing female normalfags. So you're half right. Seriously I don't know what planet all you faggots live on where trannies are an every day occurrence. I've met one in my whole life and they werent even operated.

This That's why there are over 6000000 Candy Crush clones, and how they managed to make a whole gaming company out of just making Candy Crush games. You can play them for free, in fact, you have to be pretty bad to fail often enough not to play for free, but people still spend money, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
I "play" an idle game, Dungeon Crusher. It's basically a Russian ripoff of Clicker Heroes, with multiplayer. Our shitty little clan has several people who have bought items in game, even though it's the kind of endless game that you should only ever play for free. One guy even bought a hero in the game for $200. There are heroes up to $1000, and people have bought them. For perspective, we're talking about a game on Kongregate.
They usually play with your emotions or insecurities.

Being an audiophile isn't the same as being a cinephile. All three of them refer to enthusiasts.
yaasssss queen
Then what's the purpose of the fucking title you retard? Every single one of those titles refers to enthusiasts, being called a gamer implicitly means enthusiast. Yet it's thrown around to mean anybody who engages in the hobby to any degree.
Exactly, and being a gamer does not mean you're a game enthusiast.

Yes it does.
And being a audiophile doesn't mean you're an audio enthusiast.

No it doesn't. People have called people that play games "gamers" for ever. If you want your own fucking enthusiast name for game enthusiast then make it.
That's literally how and why the term was created, to refer to game enthusiasts.

Yes it does. People have called people that listen to radio "audiophile " for ever. If you want your own fucking enthusiast name for audio enthusiast then make it.
>women
>tastes
Have you seen the shit women enjoy, they only have tastes regarding men because its built into them which is the same for guys but unlike roasties guys can realize how likely they are to impress somebody
>No it doesn't. People have called people that play games "gamers" for ever.
Yes, people who obsess over games and don't do anything else but play games.
you can be an artist yet still kinda shit, you make art
you can be a plumber but be fucking awful at properly fixing stuff because you dont care, you still fix pipes
these examples often imply that you do things by profession
on other hand
a smoker, a guy that smokes from time to time (once a week? pack a day? just socially? autistic tobacco expert? doesn't really matter, with gaymer its more or less the same)
just playing games doesn't make one a "gamer". no one calls someone that plays 20 minutes of mobile games once a week a gamer.
That's exactly his point.
A gamer is not a gaming enthusiast
A cinephile is not a film enthusiast
An audiophile is not an audio enthusiast
All three of these statements are true or none of them are. You can't have it both ways.
>Yes, people who obsess over games and don't do anything else but play games.
no, they call them incel nerds lmao
People have called people that watch movies "cinephile" for ever. If you want your own fucking enthusiast name for film enthusiast then make it.
>you can be an artist yet still kinda shit, you make art
Unless you're churning out art constantly and working directly towards the craft of improving your work, you're not called an artist. I doodle stupid drawings for an internal business comic every quarter, that doesn't make me an artist
Growing up and realizing 3D women aren't equal to men in any capacity really sucks brahs...
>52% of women are gamers
>no statement on what percentage of gamers are women
The sad thing is, most normies will probably fall for this.
you guys are literally retarded, an audiophile is simply a pedophile in a band
>these examples often imply that you do things by profession
That doesn't apply to cinephile or audiophile, only the race car driver example. You would have had a point if he said director and musician instead.
Why you stealing my image, niggy?
No they haven't. Cinephile is a term that has been used exclusively for enthusiasts. Gamer has been used for the vast majority of people that play games.

Or that its the male gamer community.
And companies dont pander to them but to the male minority.
Thats the reason why "gatekeeping" exist. Its a standout how dedicated or "rang" someone is.
But people with inferior complex will see it as a powerplay which mostly occurs only 10% percent.

Yes they have. Even in your own source you've cited it's implied that the term is used for enthusiasts
>We have games to appeal to both the PC novice and the dedicated gamer.
'Gamer' is a term that exclusively refers to enthusiasts, or else 'Cinephile' has been used for the vast majority of people that watch movies. You can't have it both ways.
>6% of racing games have a female audience
I guess if you count Mariokart, I have never heard of a woman touching Assetto Corsa or even GT Sport. Maybe the FH series since it's meant to be more casual
i'd argue how art doesn't have to be inherently about a craft but you do you
t. ex-arthistoryfag that likes 'art' but always hated the term and its religious connotations
Wasn't that user, i agree that every variation of x-phile refers to an arbitrary level of enthusiasm/dedication.
I'd propose calling ourselves gaymer-philes
I'll probably wither and turn to identifying anime-first before I let you call me a gamerphile

where's the y?
I would even think the general candy crush player is less than a casual gamer. I don’t know what to call those who’ve only played one game intensively. Like what if they’re the top candy crush player in the world but they’ve only played that one game
not that guy but then should there be a "gamephile" or some such?
from those 52%, 51% are probably mobile "gamers" who play candy crush while waiting for the bus
>yeah, i'm a gamer xD i play ninja fruit all the time lol :P
that's actually a good idea
its at y are you such a faggot
only 13% are actual female
>thinking stats matter to companies
The reason why they cater to trannies is because they get brownie points from retards, same thing for any other token minority, the stats state they shouldn't be catered to but they do it anyway because companies know retards will fall for it the problem is though when you try to impress retards you quickly find yourself surrounded by retards
that's exactly what it means
Isn't that the same dictionary that advocates using the word "literally" when talking figuratively?
There is to some extent, the phrase "hardcore gamer" exists, even though it's pretty cringe.

And yet they're still as common as Bigfoot in any mutliplayer game anyone cares about. I'll count the ones who obsess over shit like Final Fantasy as gamers, sure, but if you think phone games count then I have nothing to offer you but laughter.
I can't believe we live in an age where we can just blatantly lie about something as obvious and rooted into our very species as fucking sex. Yes sex, gender doesn't even fucking exist. It's a fucking synonym for sex that got hijacked to not be about sex. Apples are apples and oranges are oranges; you don't make a fucking orange into an apple by injecting apple juice into it and don't make an apple into an orange by doing the reverse. Food analogy.
>
Being an enthusiast is completely different than having fun. Only casuals know how to have fun.
You'd have to be such a fucking mouthbreather to even care. I'm sure more women than men go to the gym too, why does it matter? This kind of gatekeeping is fucking stupid, are we really so desperate to own the title of 'gamer' that we have to start making exceptions because some people don't play the right kind of game to qualify themselves? The 'gamers rise up' shit is a meme making fun of 14 year olds, I'm surprised Yea Forums of all places is so desperate to identify with literal 14 year old Minecraft and Fortnite players.
My source is no different than the user claiming hardcore gaming is cringe and gamer refers to casual gaming

because then people will fucking ruin everything like they are right now with their "yeah 50% of women are gayymurrsss, games need to be more girly and shit!" and cool franchises get ruined because rettards at the top make decisions like this based on "data" collected by even bigger retards. i mean, look the fuck around you man.
You don't have to be a tranny. Literally just check "female" for the gender box on the fucking surveys. Even non-trannies do play female characters in games, is it surprising that they'd just wanna fuck things over by putting female? Plus most "gamers" are jaded troublemakers who wanna HAHAHAH WATCH THE WORLD BURN, BATMAN!!! and would love to "ruse" with false info.
How many "gamers" do you think took this survey seriously?

Men inherently have to compete for a mate. It's embedded into their fucking genes. Being a man who isn't competitive and doesn't always look for a challenge to make them stand out above the rest is being a man who's genes will not pass down. It isn't even mind blowing, it's literally just basic theory of evolution at play.
Women on the other hand have to very tactfully select their mate. They have to learn patterns that are tell tale signs of a proper mate that can protect them and provide for their family. Picking incorrectly is the end of your genetic line, as your children will die without his support. So go figure, they prefer puzzles, pattern recognizance games, nurturing games, etc.
Again, not even mind blowing.

Normalfags realized how absolutely boring they are, so they invaded nerd culture. This is not an argument, this is reality.

Is one of those studies made exclusively to support a claim. When they need to push "women also want to play games, why there are no games for us?" they will publish a "new study finds womyn gamers are a minority" (alongside the "toxic problem", male gamers not allowing women to play, etc). This one was probably made to support the "we are the majority, games should cater us".
She's not a tranny, trannies have very wide shoulders.
Why do you think
It's probably just a phase, it is for the majority of LGBQTPBRAP shit.

most people who you'd consider to be a "gamer" would not consider those to be "games" even though they literally are video games
That isn't the problem however, the problem is primarily in the conflation of video game genres when one uses the term "video game".
As is evidenced by multiple posts ITT men and women primarily play different kinds of games (for mobile games, like candy crush, are for the most part, vastly different from more traditional games, like Call of Duty or Dark Souls and are thus played by different demographics who do not share interests). There is nothing intrinsically wrong with this, that is until marketing, business suits, and opportunity costs of gaming come into play.
It is possible to conceive that someone in the marketing department or executive suites of a big game company (like EA) could see these news stories of "Over 50% of gamers are female" and then proceed to pander to female gamers, but only in cosmetic aspects like story or character design. While there is nothing wrong with this, it isn't really profitable because the game is mechanically the same, and as such still dominated by the demographics which prefer the mechanics of that game. Once again there isn't anything intrinsically wrong with that, aside from the fact that its less profitable.
The main problem that most traditional "gamers" SHOULD have with female pandering is its dev opportunity cost. Naturally people can only do so much, and it follows that devs can only do so much with whatever budget they have. So if you ask "who cares if they include pandering to
tl;dr
It is not within our utility as "mainstream gamers" to accept this pandering, and thus accept the misconception that >50% of "gamers" are female.
