But 50% of PC gaming? I know a lot of women hide the fact that they’re women to avoid sexists, but I just don’t see that figure being accurate, especially if there’s no reporting on how they came to that number
Brother, pretty much every single woman I know under the age of 40 plays, at the very minimum, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and Terraria. Most of them also play other big games, like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc.
The genre that the mostly don’t play though are modern “arena” style shooters like Call of Duty, Halo, CSGO, Rainbow Six, etc.
They’re far more likely to play something like Fortnite or Hunt or something where you can have a small squad to roll with. Typically because it means they don’t have to deal with anywhere near the same number of toxic random assholes.
Hi, woman under 40 here. I’m AFKing at a mob farm I built in Minecraft right now as I browse Kbin. I create mods for Stardew Valley. I have a lot of management games and RPGs. I also avoid multiplayer unless I know I’ll only interact with a small closed circle of my real-life friends because I hear about how awful and bigoted people will act online. These people are also why I am not going to try those arena style shooters on the off chance I fall in love with the genre. People being awful is a near-certainty in those games, while me turning out to love the gameplay is just a chance. I’ve got other things I can play that won’t expose me to this and that I already know I enjoy.
We don’t only exist in cute little spaces like mobile gaming. We’re all over the place. If you haven’t met many of us online it’s 100% because we didn’t like your vibe and never spoke or divulged that we were female to you specifically. There can’t even be an article about female gamers existing without you dweebs writing women off as probably just mobile game players ffs. Grow as a person. Please.
Well if they’re including mobile gaming, I can see it.

TL;DR: local woman says you’re right

Nah they likely included mobile brainless games which everyone male or female downloads to pass the time

A lot of dudes in here accidentally revealing themselves to be fucking losers.
