Jakeschulz Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 you can't really blame this post as its pretty much a fact that the majority of gamers are indeed males. girls do play games, however its mainly men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true as much as you think. In addition, the market continues to move towards a 50/50 split between men and women gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Most women play those casual games. But, I have met quite a few other girls like me that play TF2, HL, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickFak Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I might brake up with my girlfriend, we already having fights quite often because of absolutely stupid things. And after 11.11 hits, I just can't imagine her taking it well... Not with "games are for kids" attitude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenley89 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I see nothing wrong with having a week or two when your free time is spent exclusively in Skyrim. For the fans, we've been waiting for this game for freaking years. If my girlfriend had a game (or other activity) that she was this excited about I would totally be okay with her wanting to play it hard when it first came out. Actually, when Skyrim does come out, me and a lady friend of mine have both preordered and we've both taken off work so we can do Skyrim hard for the weekend. But we actually play together. We'll start with my character first, and then after 5 hours or so we'll go to her place and play her character for 5 hours or so. While getting drunk most likely. This is how we spent a lot of hours together with Oblivion. I find that some games you can play together and just swap chairs every half hour or so while both people are still engaged in the game. It's f***ing awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpellAndShield Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 At the end of the day, female gamers, whilst more plentiful than in previous times are a minority and most females don't understand obssesive gaming or even gaming as a general rule. My last ex didn't, the ex before didn't and I didn't even play that much to be honest. I think from a practical perspective, the best thing to be when 11.11.11 hits is single and unemployed of which I am only one so playing will have to be restricted to the weekends because between work, the gym and other stuff there won't be time.

Well, my significant other is a gamer, and I think part of the whole 'men dominate gaming' thing is generational. The gender divide of who plays video games in the younger age groups is pretty evenly split. Ten years from now, all those people will be in their twenties, and the industry will have to deal with designing M-rated games with women as a much stronger part of their customer-base.
